Technically, Udemy shares seem to be trading within a consolidative triangle formation in the hourly chart. However, the stock recently bounced off the trendline support to avoid falling into the oversold conditions of the 14-hour RSI.
Therefore, investors could target extended short-term gains at about $22.22, or higher at $24.16. On the other hand, if the post-earnings rebound ends prematurely, triggering a pullback, Udemy shares could find support at $20.16.
