Salesforce: Trading Sideways

Salesforce has struggled to gain clear momentum in either direction over the past two weeks, which has resulted in mostly sideways trading. Looking ahead, we continue to anticipate renewed downward pressure in the near term, which could push the stock into our blue Target Zone between $187.75 and $150.42, thereby completing the broader correction of blue wave (II). After this move, we expect a new upward trend to emerge, which makes the blue zone an attractive entry point for long positions. For risk management, a stop can be placed 1% below the lower boundary of the zone. However, there remains a 36% chance that CRM will not reach our Target Zone and instead will break out directly above resistance at $312, potentially surpassing the higher $378.16 level as well. In that scenario, we would place the stock in a broader (green) upward impulse.
