Shares in Oracle dropped more than 3% after the database software company posted revenue that missed expectations.
However, the company did post earnings per share of $1.03 which beat expectations of just 97 cents per share.
With Oracle shares trading at record highs, it needed to be a stellar earnings report to attract buyers at those levels.
The sell-off could be a bit of profit-taking which could lead to a ‘buy the dip’ opportunity… and the chart looks very interesting.

The daily chart of Oracle’s share price above shows a cluster zone of technical support levels converging around the 100-period exponential moving average (the green line).
The support zones include an ascending trend line from March to June lows, as well as the retest of a previous swing high in late May.
These levels make the $85 to $83 a very interesting level to watch. Can buyers stage a rally here?
