Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Jayson Derrick]

  Juniper Networks (NASDAQ: JNPR) issued downside third quarter guidance last night and expects its third quarter revenue to be $1.11 billion to $1.12 billion, lower than the company's prior guidance of $1.15 billion to $1.28 billion. The company also lowered its earnings per share guidance to $0.34 from $0.36 from a previous range of $0.35 to $0.40. The company blamed its downside guidance on a “lower-than-anticipated demand from service providers, particularly in the U.S.” Shares lost 9.07 percent, closing at $19.04.

  Network equipment-maker Juniper Networks (JNPR) posted higher-than-expected results in the first quarter of 2014 on the back of healthy demand. Its results were driven by various strategic initiatives such as cost cutting and restructuring efforts that are driving its operational efficiency, leading to an increase of 150 basis points in its margins during the quarter. Juniper also managed to reduce its expenses by $160 million.

  2014 has been a rough year for shareholders in Juniper Networks (JNPR). Since shares peaked in January, this stock has dropped to the tune of 17%. The bad news is that this stock isn't showing any signs of ending that selloff. The good news is that you don't have to be an expert technical trader to figure out what's going on here.

  The price action in Juniper Networks is about as simple as it gets. JNPR has been bouncing its way lower in a textbook downtrending channel since last September, swatted lower on each successive test of trend line resistance. That pair of parallel trend lines on Juniper's chart defined the high-probability range for shares of JNPR to trade within. And since those lines are pointing down and to the right, it makes sense to stay out of this stock in August. It's really just as simple as that.

  I'd recommend staying away from the long-side of JNPR until shares can press up through their 50-day moving average, a level that's been a good proxy for trend line resistance on the way down. Until that happens, the downtrend is intact.
