Adobe is at a breaking point: The key levels I’m watching

Adobe (ADBE) had a rough session yesterday, finishing the day down roughly 2% during regular market hours. This move continues what has been a difficult stretch for the stock, which has already been beaten down significantly over the past year and is now down more than 32% from the beginning of 2025. From both a sentiment and technicals perspective, ADBE is clearly sitting at an inflection point.

Adobe is a well-known software company whose products are widely used by creatives, professionals, and businesses around the world. The company is best recognized for its suite of digital media and design tools, which have become deeply embedded in creative workflows across multiple industries. Over the years, Adobe has built a strong brand around innovation and software solutions, making it a familiar name in both creative and enterprise environments.

When I look at the daily chart, Adobe is currently trading inside a wedge pattern that has been developing over the past year. Price is now pressing into the lower portion of that structure, and the stock appears to be at risk of breaking down. If ADBE confirms a move below the lower trendline of this wedge, it opens the door for further downside, and I would expect sellers to remain in control in the near term.

That said, this is still a technical decision zone. If price manages to reclaim the wedge and begins pushing back toward the upper trendline, the narrative can change quickly. A clean move back into the pattern, followed by strength through the top of the wedge, would make a move toward the $360+ area plausible. This is why I’m paying close attention to how the stock behaves around these levels rather than anticipating the outcome ahead of time.

From my perspective, this is a textbook example of why technicals matter. Adobe is approaching a point where price will likely need to resolve one way or the other, and how it reacts here should provide clearer direction. As always, regardless of bias, I believe it’s critical to stay disciplined and utilize proper risk management strategies when trading setups like this.
