Tech analysis by Maksim Artyomov
"The stocks keep falling. The quotations are testing the upper border of the descending channel. I presume, the price will go on forming a downtrend. A bounce off the 200-days Moving Average is also a signal for a decline.
The goal of the decline is the nearest support level of $300. As long as the expenses for development will be growing, the quotations might head for the lower border of the descending channel".
Summing up
Zoom Video Communications reported its performance in February-April 2021. Its revenue grew by 191% and net profit – by 741%. However, operational expenses also grew by 131%. Regardless of such optimistic results, Zoom shares have been falling for three sessions in a row.
