NOW chart showing weekly MACD(12,26,9) + RSI(14)
This weekly chart snapshot is frozen to the original article analysis date, showing the last 118 bars with the indicators chosen for this article.
What happened
ServiceNow (NOW) has broken down from its prior uptrend, losing key structure and trending lower into a major support zone around $100. The move has been persistent, with price forming lower highs and lower lows after failing to hold above the $140 region.
Despite the continued downside, momentum is beginning to shift. Bullish divergence is now forming on both MACD and RSI, with momentum improving even as price tests new lows.
Why it matters
ServiceNow is a leading enterprise software company focused on workflow automation and AI-driven business processes, placing it firmly within the premium SaaS and AI sector.
There is no clear company-specific negative news driving this move, suggesting the recent sell-off is not fundamentally driven but instead linked to broader market positioning, valuation pressure, and weakness across high-multiple software names.
This matters because price is now testing a major historical support level while momentum divergence suggests selling pressure may be fading. Traders are likely viewing this as a potential inflection point between continuation lower and a possible reversal.
Levels to watch
- Support: $100
- Resistance: $126
- Moving averages: Price trading below key weekly moving averages (overhead pressure)
- Risk point: Clean break and acceptance below $100
What would confirm the idea
- Price holds and stabilises above the $100 level
- Bullish divergence begins to play out with improving MACD and RSI
- A move back above $126 would suggest a shift in short-term structure
What would weaken the idea
- A decisive breakdown below $100 with continued selling pressure
- Failure of divergence, with momentum rolling over again
- Inability to reclaim prior structure after any bounce
Bull vs bear scenarios
Bullish scenario:
Price holds the $100 support zone, with divergence leading to a reversal move back toward $126. A break above this level could signal the start of a broader recovery.
Bearish scenario:
Price breaks below $100 and continues trending lower, confirming that the divergence has failed and the downtrend remains intact. This opens the path toward the next major support zone around $70–$71.
Bottom line
NOW is sitting at a critical support level with early signs of momentum divergence. This is a key decision zone where either a reversal can develop or the downtrend can accelerate if support fails.
