Zscaler Stock Strongly Bearish Ahead Of Q2 Earnings

Chart created using Benzinga Pro

The company’s stock is currently in a strongly bearish trend, trading below its five-day, 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages. The stock's price of $192.17 is below key simple moving averages, including the eight-day at $193.62, 20-day at $203.06 and 50-day at $195.44, all reinforcing the downward momentum.

Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator at a negative 2 suggests that bearish momentum remains intact.

However, there are signs of buying pressure, which could indicate a potential shift in sentiment. Zscaler's 200-day simple moving average at $188.51 is still below the current stock price, signaling longer-term support. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 43.06 suggests that the stock is not yet oversold but could be approaching a level where buyers step in.

Investors should monitor whether Zscaler stock can reclaim key moving averages, as a break above these resistance levels could confirm a bullish reversal.
