For the first time in history a streaming service claimed top honours at the Emmys, as Netflix tied with power-house, HBO, for the overall awards lead.

Some things on the horizon as Netflix is set to land SKY (SKYAY) in November as part of its offering called “Ultimate on Demand”
Viewing the long-term chart, we can see that the price action consolidated from 2015 to 2016 forming a base. It finally broke out from the consolidation and started to tick higher. The price action started to form an uptrend with the price finding support (red dotted) and pushing higher from there.
