Friday at a glance: the cybersecurity company found support around the $243.94 level, after closing Thursday at $249.15 and dropping by 2.09% Friday.
Palo Alto Networks, Inc. made an initial break below its 5 day Simple Moving Average at $244, a possible indication of a forthcoming negative trend. In contrast, Palo Alto Networks could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now $1.7 away from $242.24. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead.
