1. A computer-implemented method for provisioning computing resources using predictive modeling in a networked computing environment, comprising: segmenting a set of graphical curves of network data traffic versus time into a set of predetermined time intervals to yield a set of time interval curves; overlaying and fitting the set of time interval curves to yield a set of best fit overlaying curves; generating a derivative vector plot based on a set of data points of the set of best fit overlaying curves; and forecasting network traffic in the networked computing environment based on the derivative vector plot.
