Salesforce.com Holds Trend as Earnings Approach

Long
NYSE:CRM   Salesforce
Cloud computing has been one of the strongest growth trends in the market this year, and now one of the most important names has pulled back to some interesting levels.

Salesforce.com has followed an upward-sloping trend line since early June, making successively higher highs and higher lows. The two most recent peaks were all-time highs above its pre-crash records. Now it’s pulled back to that trend line.

Second, the current low is very close to the $195.72 level where CRM topped out in February. Has old resistance become new support?

Overall, this is a pretty conventional trend-following setup. It resembles NFLX on June 30, pulling back to an old high and trend line before earnings. CRM reports on August 25.
