Red-hot Netflix (NFLX) stock is flashing a historically-reliable bullish signal, even the company's outstanding fourth-quarter earnings report

How long can Netflix’s stock stay hot? With sports and advertising both cooking, one formerly neutral analyst now sees recent business momentum continuing for years.

Technically, the stock’s price is likely to drop back into a “normal” range around $930 over the next week of trading. From there, expect to see a consolidation that will lead to a robust trend towards a target price above $1,000.
