Cadence Design Syst | Short to SupportCadence Design Systems ( NASDAQ:CDNS ) doesn't look very strong and is starting to regain downward momentum. If it doesn't break through the resistance line ($156-$158) in the coming weeks, I anticipate it will close the tiny gap between $136.96 and $137.11 and then test support near $125-$126 (if not lower to $120 - dotted blue line). Death cross started in early March with the 50 EMA crossing below to the 200 EMA.
P/E 59.8 and insiders continue to sell.
CDNS - Another Tech is Approaching Deep Correction?Is it time for overpriced tech stocks like Cadence Design Systems , specialising in software and hardware, to go into considerable correction to let some steam out?
Fundamental indicators:
Revenue and Profits - demonstrated consistent long-term earnings growth over the past 10 years
Profit margin - 23% in 2021 but dropped from 42% in 2020
P/E - extremely overpriced with 56x ratio
Liabilities - no problems with debt
Technically:
An impulse like correction in March 2020 has completed Running Flat (ABC) wave 4 as part of bull trend that lasted since 2016
Since then the final wave 5 has commenced with 2 impulses that formed a zig-zag of wave 1
This choppy movement suggests that it is not a rapid impulse developing but an Ending Diagonal with 3-3-3-3-3 structure
Hence two more zig-zags can be expected to reach and slightly update historic maximum of $192
Once the global wave is completed a deeper correction can be expected to the levels of $95-$120 which represent 0.382 and 0.5 Fibonacci retracement levels respectively
