The reason is a strong report:<br>→ earnings per share = USD 3.73, expected = USD 3.49;<br>→ revenue = USD 8.54 billion, a year ago = USD 7.9 billion.<br>→ the main surprise is that the number of subscribers grew by an impressive 8.76 million in the third quarter (about 6 million were expected). The number of subscribers worldwide is approaching 250 million.</p><p>Given the increase in demand for its service, Netflix has decided to raise the price of its basic plan in the US to USD 11.99 per month from USD 9.99, and raise the price of its premium subscription to USD 22.99 per month from USD 19.99. This could attract more earnings per share in the future, which is what has helped NFLX&apos;s price soar.</p><figure><img src="https://fxopen.com/blog/en/content/images/2023/10/191–2-.png" alt="Market Analysis: NFLX Price Soars 12% after Strong Report" loading="lazy" width="2000" height="1099" srcset="https://fxopen.com/blog/en/content/images/size/w600/2023/10/191–2-.png 600w, https://fxopen.com/blog/en/content/images/size/w1000/2023/10/191–2-.png 1000w, https://fxopen.com/blog/en/content/images/size/w1600/2023/10/191–2-.png 1600w, https://fxopen.com/blog/en/content/images/size/w2400/2023/10/191–2-.png 2400w" sizes="(min-width: 720px) 720px" /></figure><p>From the technical analysis point of view:<br>→ NFLX price returns to the ascending channel that was in effect in 2023 and seems to be becoming relevant again. The false breakout pattern could become a support zone in the future.<br>→ NFLX price exceeded USD 370 per share.</p><p>Since early September, NFLX has been a laggard in the NASDAQ index, but after the report it may become one of the leaders. &quot;While we have much work to do to build out this business, we&apos;re making good progress and laying the foundation for what we believe should be a multibillion-dollar revenue stream over time,&quot; Netflix executives wrote in a letter to shareholders.</p><p>Resistance to a powerful bullish impulse may come from:<br>→ psychological level of USD 400;<br>→ level at USD 412 – during the summer, the level provided support. But it was broken on September 13-14, and with a bearish gap, which could slow down the rally if the price of NFLX reaches this level. Also note that here is the Fibo resistance level of 50% of the decline A→B.</p><p>According to TipRanks, analysts have a target price of USD 454 for NFLX, but given its recent performance, the forecast could be raised.</p>
