Technology companies using a subscription-based business model are more likely to weather economic uncertainty amid the ongoing big-tech selloff, according to CNBC&#8217;s Jim Cramer. The charts of both Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) showcase a bullish trend based on the <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data.
What Happened: Chartist Bob Lang&#8216;s analysis, reviewed by Cramer, indicates positive outlooks for Spotify and Netflix, with potential for Roku Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROKU#NASDAQ">ROKU</a>). Cramer highlights their subscription models&#8217; resilience amidst macroeconomic uncertainty.
"If I were to do this, I would buy common stock Spotify, I would buy common stock Netflix, and I would buy calls on Roku – that way I cut off my downside," said Cramer on his Mad Money <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/24/jim-cramer-chart-shows-how-netflix-spotify-can-weather-uncertainty.html">show</a> on Monday.
Why It Matters: Here&#8217;s an analysis of Netflix and Spotify&#8217;s daily charts.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Netflix</h3>
Netflix was higher by 9.62% on a year-to-date basis, outperforming many tech peers, highlighted Cramer. He says that its daily charts reveal a recent rebound with high volume and the MACD exhibits a bullish crossover, a significant positive signal.
According to the data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>, NFLX&#8217;s share price of $971.99 apiece as of Monday&#8217;s close was trading above its short and long-term trading averages, whereas its relative strength index of 54 was in the neutral zone.
However, the momentum indicator MACD indicates that the stock is in a bearish trend as the score of its MACD line was -2.52, showing that its 12-period exponential moving average is below the 26-period EMA.
However, the histogram has a positive number of 6.14, meaning that the MACD line is rising and getting closer to the signal line. This is a bullish sign within a bearish trend. It shows that the bearish momentum is decreasing.

Decoding Spotify Technology's Options Activity: What's the Big Picture?

Meta Platforms Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company&#8217;s AI model family, &#8216;Llama&#8217;, has reached a milestone of 1 billion downloads.
What Happened: Zuckerberg announced on Threads on Tuesday as he posted a meme stating &#8216;Me finding out Llama hit 1 Billion downloads&#8217;.
The increase indicates nearly a 54% surge from the 650 million downloads recorded in early December 2024. Llama, the AI that powers Meta&#8217;s AI assistant across various platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is a crucial component of Meta&#8217;s broader AI product ecosystem strategy.
Despite certain commercial restrictions in its license terms that have sparked concerns among developers, Llama has seen extensive adoption since its 2023 launch. Major companies like Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>), AT&amp;T Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/T#NYSE">T</a>), and DoorDash Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DASH#NASDAQ">DASH</a>) are currently utilizing Llama models in their operations.
Ahmad Al-Dahle, VP and Head of GenAI at Meta posted about the achievement on LinkedIn. "Each Llama download represents a vote of confidence in open source AI – and a shared belief that we can go so much further building together,&#8221; said Al-Dahle.

Why It Matters: In January, Zuckerberg <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/01/43327057/mark-zuckerberg-says-metas-llama-4-to-feature-agentic-capabilities-unlocking-new-use-cases-it-will-become-one-the-most-widely-used-ai-models">revealed ambitious plans</a> for Llama 4, the next-generation open-source artificial intelligence model. The announcement came during Meta's fourth-quarter earnings call, highlighting the industry's shift toward more autonomous AI systems.
Zuckerberg also ensured that the Llama investment cycle will continue, with expectations for internal operational improvement, early wins on the consumer-facing side, and with advertisers.
That being said, Llama&#8217;s journey has faced obstacles. It&#8217;s currently embroiled in an AI copyright lawsuit accusing Meta of using copyrighted e-books for model training without permission. Furthermore, data privacy issues have compelled Meta to postpone or cancel Llama&#8217;s launch in <a href="https://benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43880029/mark-zuckerbergs-meta-and-google-slam-europes-strict-ai-rules-sometimes-it-goes-too-far">several EU countries</a>.
Despite this, Meta plans to launch new Llama models with reasoning, multimodal capabilities, and &#8216;agentic&#8217; features in the coming months.
Meta stock lost 3.73% to close at $582.36 on Tuesday. The stock surged 17.35% over the past year, as per <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Trade Rallies in a Market Downturn</h2>
Volatility often discourages traders from entering new positions, but even in a downturn, tradeable rallies can offer profitable opportunities. A key strategy in these conditions is to identify short-term rebounds and capitalize on them while maintaining a disciplined exit plan.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Spotting and Trading Short-Term Rallies</h2>
When markets experience sharp sell-offs, certain stocks become oversold, leading to short-term rebounds. These bounces create opportunities for traders who know what to look for:
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Identify Oversold Stocks with Strong Fundamentals And Technicals</h3>
<ul>
<li>Look for stocks with an RSI (Relative Strength Index) below 30, indicating oversold conditions.</li>
<li>Evaluate technical indicators (e.g., moving averages, MACD) and fundamental ratings from tools like Chartmill, or look for top ten names from Portfolio Armor.</li>
<li>Prioritize stocks with solid business fundamentals that may recover once the selling pressure subsides.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Time Your Entry Based on Market Sentiment</h3>
<ul>
<li>Monitor fear indicators such as the VIX or put/call ratios to gauge market sentiment.</li>
<li>Consider entering trades when markets show extreme fear but technical indicators suggest stabilization.</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Use Options to Limit Risk While Maximizing Upside</h3>
<ul>
<li>Buying near-the-money call options provides high reward-to-risk ratios.</li>
<li>Short-term expirations (one to three weeks) are ideal for targeting quick rebounds.</li>
<li>Scale out of trades in stages to lock in gains while maintaining exposure to further upside.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Recent Example: Spotify's Tradeable Bounce</h2>
To illustrate this approach, consider a recent trade on Spotify Technologies S.A. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>). The stock had been heavily sold off, with an RSI near 28, yet it maintained strong technical and fundamental scores. Recognizing a potential bounce, we executed the following trade:
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Trade Setup and Execution</h3>
<ul>
<li>Entry: Bought $530 strike SPOT calls expiring March 14th for $2.40 when SPOT was trading at $487.</li>
<li>Exit (First Half): The next day, SPOT bounced, and we sold half at $6, securing a 150% gain.</li>
<li>Exit (Second Half): Later that day, we sold the remaining position at $6, fully locking in profit</li>
</ul>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="858" height="1024" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/11212513/SPOT-Chart-858x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-7666" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/11212513/SPOT-Chart-858x1024.jpg 858w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/11212513/SPOT-Chart-251x300.jpg 251w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/11212513/SPOT-Chart-768x917.jpg 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/11212513/SPOT-Chart.jpg 1005w" sizes="(max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px" /></figure>
This disciplined approach—identifying an oversold name, entering on a high-probability setup, and selling into strength—demonstrates how short-term opportunities can be executed effectively.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to Apply This Strategy in Future Trades</h2>
Going forward, traders can apply this framework to similar setups by:
&#x2705; Screening for oversold stocks with strong fundamentals. &#x2705; Entering positions when fear levels peak but technicals suggest stabilization. &#x2705; Using options to define risk while maximizing potential gains. &#x2705; Selling into rallies instead of holding too long in uncertain conditions.

Using Options To Trade Counter-Trend Rallies

Spotify shares are trading higher after the company announced distrubuting $10 billion royal payouts last year.

In 2024, streaming platform Spotify Technology SA (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPOT#NYSE">SPOT</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44267849/how-the-music-industrys-cultural-and-financial-impact-define-its-success-in-2025-spotify-loud-clea" rel="noreferrer noopener">disbursed an unprecedented $10 billion</a> to the music industry in royalties, surpassing any previous yearly payment.
This represents a tenfold growth compared to the last ten years. To date, Spotify has distributed approximately $60 billion since its launch.
The company also reached a record in music publishing payouts, exceeding $4.5 billion over the last two years.
According to Spotify, the increase in streaming payouts is fostering more diversity and inclusivity in the music industry.
In its annual music economics report, Spotify said artists are succeeding across borders,&nbsp;with more languages and diverse voices breaking into the mainstream.
In 2024, the artists who generated at least&nbsp;$100,000&nbsp;in royalties were recording music in over 50 languages, while the artists who garnered at least&nbsp;$1 million&nbsp;on Spotify recorded music in 17 different languages, both more than double the languages at those thresholds in 2017.

Furthermore, the number of female artists earning over $1 million each year has grown fourfold since 2017. This growth has provided artists from nations such as Canada, South Korea, Sweden, and Argentina with greater international exposure, particularly among women in music.
Over 50% of artists earning at least $1,000 annually from Spotify are seeing the majority of their royalties from international listeners.
Notably, one-third of these artists received more than 75% of their earnings from outside their home countries, highlighting the role that global streaming plays in driving artist success.
More than 80% of artists generating at least $100,000 annually are collaborating with musicians from different nations.
