10:42 EDT	NFLX	Netflix moves higher, levels to watch The shares are moving against the broader sideways or down move in technology today, last at $244.10. It would appear that traders are intent on moving the shares back toward the $250 area. That area in the prior two-years was important support and then resistance. When the shares broke below that level in August 2011, it presaged a steep decline in share price. Retaking that level and holding it therefore might encourage more bullishness for higher price. A failure to do so could potentially derail the current trend higher.
