FHAT Technical Note 062: NOWL Earnings Shock — Dual Historical Analogs and Conditional Bottoming Paths

This bilingual technical note examines NOWL’s 53.61% closing decline on October 29, 2026, following ServiceNow’s earnings release. It compares two historical earnings windows: January 28, 2026, as a reference for stepwise downside continuation, and April 22, 2026, as a reference for the historical low-price zone. The analysis distinguishes opening gaps, regular-session declines and extended-hours trading. It identifies USD 3.790 as a candidate stage low and USD 3.490 as a historical low coordinate whose support remains unverified. Conditional recovery checks include reclaiming dynamic VWAP, USD 3.980 and USD 4.383, followed by higher resistance fields. The note presents stabilization and continued-weakness scenarios with explicit validation gates. The current shock exceeds both historical samples, creating substantial extrapolation risk; the analysis does not establish a confirmed bottom or guarantee recovery.
