Baird maintained its Outperform rating, but lowered the price target for Zoom shares from $100 to $95 per share. Analyst William Power believed that Q3 2022 results were solid, but the outlook remained mixed due to currency headwinds and weaker deferred earnings.

Weekly falling triangle risk

The weekly candlestick chart illustrates the potential for a downside breakdown of the triangle as it makes lower highs at a flat low of $70.44. Stocks continue to reject the falling 20-period weekly exponential moving average (EMA), now at $87.97. The Q3 2022 earnings response further accelerated sales to the low of $70.44 before an attempted flush failed to activate the weekly market structure low (MSL) buy trigger above $81.50. Distribution volume increased after the earnings announcement, but was subdued compared to nearly double the volume at the Q2 2022 earnings sell-off. The weekly stochastic bounce through the 20 band stalled on selling pressure, putting it back down a possible crossover as stocks near the weekly triangle’s flat lower trendline. As the channel between the descending upper trendline and the flat trendline tightens towards the top, stocks will break through triggering the weekly MSL or eventually break through the swing lows. This should be resolved by the end of the year. Pullback support levels to watch sit at the $70.44 swing low, $67.60, $64.75, $60.97, %57.59, $54.54 and the $50.55.
