To review ServiceNow's stock, please take a look at the 1-year chart of NOW (ServiceNow, Inc.) below with my added notations:
1-year chart of NOW (ServiceNow, Inc.) NOW has rallied from a bottom of $25 in January to a new 52-week high of $44 in April. Along the way, the stock has formed a nice trendline of support (blue). Always remember that any (2) points can start a trendline, but it's the 3rd test and beyond that confirm its importance. Obviously NOW's trendline is important to the stock since it has been tested on multiple occasions.
The Tale of the Tape: NOW has created a nice trendline of support over the last (5) months. A long position could be entered on a pullback to that trendline, which is approaching $38, with a stop placed below that level. A short position could be entered if NOW were to break the trend line support.
