A quick look at Friday: after closing the previous trading day at $164.12 and dropping to $159.66, the customer relationship management company closed Friday at $162.2. By the end of the session, Salesforce gave up a total of 1.17%.
Salesforce made an initial break below its 200 day Simple Moving Average at $160.17, a possible indication of a forthcoming negative trend. Price action remains constrained around the key Fibonacci level of $160.04 currently serving as support. If price action breaks below, the next Fib hurdle is $156.6. Despite this, Bollinger Bands® shows an indication of recovery: the lower band is at $160.22, a low enough level to, generally, suggest that Salesforce is trading below its fair value. Salesforce could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now $3.52 away from $158.68. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead.
In general, examining the technical analysis landscape, although indicators are mixed further drawbacks may be next for Salesforce.
Salesforce was not the only decliner in the technology sector; Adobe closed at $320.54 (down 7.63%). Microsoft closed at $249.22 (down 2.18%). SAP closed at $113.18 (down 2.44%).
