The Crash Of LinkedIn In 1 Chart

The majority of stocks are off to a rough start in 2016, and LinkedIn Corp KNKD is certainly no exception. The stock suffered a horrendous drop following a disappointing Q4 earnings report and now stands down 53.7 percent year-to-date.

The Call Level chart shows just how much traders’ expectations for the stock have plummeted. Entering the month of February the majority of notification levels were in the $200 range.

LinkedIn bulls are likely hoping that the round $100 number will serve as a psychological support level for the stock and encourage buyers to scoop up shares at a discount. It that turns out to be the case, $100 could serve as the bottom of a new trading range and an excellent buying level for traders. However, LinkedIn bears are also likely watching the $100 level for signs of a new push to fresh multi-year lows. If this ends up being the case, there may still be profits on the table for short sellers.

LinkedIn’s future remains uncertain, but one thing seems clear: there will be a lot of eyes on LinkedIn’s stock if it once again approaches $100 in coming days.
