CRWD posted its best quarter ever on June 3 — record revenue, ARR, and free cash flow, plus its first-ever GAAP-profitable Q1 — yet fell -14.6% from its May 31 all-time high of $785.66. The drop was an expectations reset, not a business problem: net new ARR of $256M (a record) still missed whisper numbers near $275M after the stock ran +98% in three months into an overbought RSI of 83.80.
⚡ Bull signals are fundamental, bear signals are technical. The 4 bear flags (whisper miss, EMA breach, prior overbought RSI) are all sentiment/price — while the bull flags (record ARR, first GAAP profit, record FCF, 4:1 split) confirm the business. With RSI back to ~32 and the 50D (~$590) / 200D (~$470) intact, the setup is tilting toward reversal ahead of the July 2 split.
