For markets, it raises hard questions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who pays for it?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How does it integrate?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Will regulators allow it?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The charts reflect those concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Market Reaction Was Immediate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the acquisition was announced, Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) rallied around +6%, whereas <strong>Netflix shares fell by -6.73%. <\/strong>This could mean a few things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Investors did not like the idea of Netflix entering this uncertain deal (regulatory battle ahead).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warner Bros had debt costs that Netflix would need to take on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is undeniable that such an acquisition only adds to Netflix\u2019s media empire. Therefore, this drop does not necessarily reflect a long-term judgement. <strong>It just reflects<\/strong> <strong>near-term uncertainty<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Political Comments Add Pressure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the weekend, US President Donald Trump weighed in publicly. He said the deal \u201ccould be a problem\u201d because of market share, and suggested he would be involved in reviewing the transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His comments do not determine the outcome \u2014 but they increase visibility and scrutiny. There is now a political spotlight on the process, beyond just a story of corporate acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>NFLX Daily Chart \u2013 Short-Term Pressure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1434\" height=\"893\" src=\"https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-27.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-27.png 1434w, https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-27-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-27-1024x638.png 1024w, https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-27-768x478.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1434px) 100vw, 1434px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On the daily timeframe, <strong>we are currently sitting at a major crossroad.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bears are undeniably dominant, as Netflix has:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Broke down from a multiyear trendline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Broke down from a descending channel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rejected from the 50 EMA (reflected as 1-stdev <a href=\"https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/education\/indicators\/bollinger-bands\/\">bollinger bands\u00ae<\/a> on our chart) &#8211; potential suppression by the band.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we are also tapping into <strong>critical support<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>$100 is a key psychological level, and Netflix has for now refused to close below.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/education\/indicators\/stochastic-rsi\/\">Stochastic RSI<\/a> is reaching oversold territory, hinting at temporary relief or pause soon.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using a <a href=\"https:\/\/alchemymarkets.com\/education\/indicators\/volume-profile\/\">Fixed Range Volume Profile<\/a> on the previous rally (April to July), we can see that NFLX is currently supported by the Value Area Low ($98.08).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Below all these supports, traders should be aware of a<strong> potential flush zone at $96\u2013$98,<\/strong> where stop clusters are likely to build.
