sell MSFT tradeHigh probability trade for NASDAQ:MSFT stock. I recommend opening 2 positions . 1st Position with Stop loss and take profit as shown here .the 2nd position has the same stop loss but with 261 take profit , when the first position closes and hits the take profit , move the Stop loss to entry price for the second position and wait for it to hit 261 or wait for a take profit update in this post .
This is a high probability trade with a great potential risk reward superior to 5 . In the markets There is never a 100% win probability .The idea is to have the odds in our favor and to be much more right than wrong .

BIG POST! Technical Analysis of 75 Stocks From The S&P 500 List!Hi followers and other TradingView users,
Baron Rothschild, a British banker and politician from a wealthy family, once said that the best time to buy is “when there is blood in the streets.” In simple words, when everyone else is selling, it's a great time to fill your portfolio.
At the moment, there have been quite scary times considering the current situation around Ukraine, plus S&P500 futures made a small break below 4300 , which might open the doors to lower prices. Actually, it is great because it can also open the doors to lower price levels for individual stocks as well.
Considering the potential "threat" to decline, I took over the entire SP500 list and analyzed all of them!! Those that caught my eye did a technical analysis to find the optimal entry points. Quite a lot of work, but I thought to share it with you guys as well, maybe you may find something useful here.
"Buy when there’s blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own."
The best stocks to invest in are the ones already existing in your portfolio. Maybe they are trading at lower prices, and your portfolio is in red. However, they are still the best options available to you. Why? If your's and your company's thesis are the same then you have already analyzed those stocks, and they are still in your portfolio only because you’re confident that they will perform well in the future. Then why not invest more in such stocks when they are down. As I have said previously take it as "SALE" in the mall. Look into your portfolio and find out those stocks which are currently trading at a cheaper price, hopefully, you find something from here as well.
Now, to talk about my given stocks below. These are just technical analyses, I can give the optimal entry prices for each one but you have to do your own fundamental analysis for them. One of my favorite "quote" about both analysis: Fundamental analysis tells you WHAT to buy, technical analysis tells you WHEN to buy. So, I share some ideas from where you can buy certain stocks but do your homework and do the fundamental analysis, do not follow them blindly!
In this post, you can find breakout opportunities to buy the strength after certain price levels have broken. Here are buying zones after corrections and some bigger names I have pointed out some price levels from where you can buy every dip to build up your long-term portfolio.
Use partial entries, long-term position builders can enter into certain stocks after it has reached inside the shown box and buy more if they should fall lower from the initial entry to average the entry price. Mid-term investors should start to build their positions somewhere in the middle of boxes.
Love it or hate it but here they are...

3) Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)

And that's all. Some may say and think that some of the given prices will never reach these zones. I would like to tell them - whatever! At least we are prepared, and if something bigger could happen with to the stock market, those who are prepared will win, because in March 2020 the bottom was made in just a few days.
Prepare, wait, aim, and shoot!
Do your homework!!

Microsoft (MSFT) | The safest target to climb📍Hello traders, Microsoft in daily timeframe , this analysis has been prepared in daily timeframe but has been published for a better view in 2 day timeframe.
The general structure of this counted wave is unclear and we need more waves to detect it.
Now, according to the count, the main waves 1 and 2 have been formed and now we are inside wave 3.
This wave 3 has formed its wave 4 in such a way that it can not be said that it is complete or this ascent that we are considering is part of wave 4.
In terms of time, wave 4 is normal compared to wave 3.
We are currently waiting for an uptrend that this trend may take place before the 270 range and possibly after this price at which the correction structure will change and possibly end in a leading triangle.
If the canal roof is broken upwards, it is a confirmation to start the upward movement.

MICROSOFT - Long PositionStrong corporate earnings from Microsoft. Software giant Microsoft reported record quarterly revenue above $50 billion for the first time, beating expectations, and offered a rosy outlook for the current quarter last Tuesday. That helped boost stock market futures for the next day, though the gains were given back by volatility driven by an announcement from the Fed The Dow Drops as Powell Talks — and What Else Is Happening in the Stock Market Today The market sank as Chairman Jerome Powell signaled the possibility of many more rate increases than the stock market had been expecting.

It is better for Rajab not to talk about the general nature of this wave and to explain only the counted part.
Based on the counting of the first wave 1 and 2, it has ended in a very normal state and now we are inside the third wave.
From wave 3, waves 1, 2 and 3 are completed and now wave 4 is taking place.
We thought that wave 4 was flat, but considering its current motion, which has a steep slope, this motion is part of a flat, in fact, wave a is this flat and the next ascending motion is for wave b, and this motion is done until the beginning of wave a.
We may have a descent to the previous floor before ascending.

MSFT earnings and long term predictionI am going to long MSFT for these reasons
~We have officially touched the 0.786 fib retracement which is a great sign to go long again
~MSFT earnings on Tuesday. MSFT bought out Activation Blizzard, so it will be interesting to see how they announce their plans.
~ALSO A while back, Mojang merged Minecraft launchers with Microsoft. SO now all minecraft java users use Microsoft login instead of mojang login.
~On the 4 hour chart there is VERY CLEAR BULLISH DIVERGENCE
~From the last ATH MSFT has pulled back 15 percent, which is a really big pullback.
~We are also on the bottom of the downward wedge, meaning that this will be a good zone to set enter with a SL below the support. As it is a very small loss. With downward wedges, it most likely will break on the up.
Microsoft's Descending Wedge Yesterday, Microsoft posted better-than-expected earnings for Q4, which is likely to help the reeling stock rebound. The correction is likely to be terminated around the previous swing low at 280.00 where a descending wedge is expected to be completed.
The first obstacle for the eventual rebound would be the 23.6 per cent Fibonacci retracement level at 293.39, which is currently converging with the 400-day MA (in purple). The next target would be the 38.2 per cent Fibonacci at 304.17.
In addition to the fact that it was recently crossed by the 300-day MA (in red), the resistance is positioned just above the psychologically significant threshold at 300.00. All of this implies the probable accumulation of strong selling pressure just above the 38.2 per cent Fibonacci.
MSFT Microsoft TrendlineMicrosoft’s buyout of Activision Blizzard for $69 billion would be the largest tech deal of all time.
And Microsoft needs Activision to be a major gaming developer and metaverse competitor.
Microsoft is still in the bullish trendline before the earnings this week.
My price target is $331.
looking forward to read your opinion about it.
Will the 200 day EMA save Microsoft? Microsoft looks technically interesting. On one hand a double or even triple top argument could be made that flushed the stock down lower after it rallied to break a multi-year resistance TL but failed to hold it, and on the other hand it has not made any multi-month lower lows since September 2020. Stock holders are hoping that 294 will find buyers at the 200 day EMA ahead of earnings but it does not appear that there are any buyers in-sight just yet. 289/290 if reached next week will coincide with March 2021 TL support followed by much bigger support around 280/282 if we get there, where major bounces are expected. The intriguing question will be if buyers are willing show up aggressively under the 200 day to act on these supports because if not, 260 will not be far from reach. Upcoming earnings will determine the longer-term picture.
Is Microsoft in a bubble? Is it overvalued? Judge for yourself.

Microsoft | Fundamental Analysis | SHORTOn Tuesday, Microsoft announced its intention to acquire video game giant Activision Blizzard in a deal worth $75 billion, or $68.7 billion based on Activision's net cash position. That corresponds to a price of $95 a share, up from Activision's share price of $65 last Friday, but still below Activision's 52-week high of $104.53.
If the deal passes antitrust scrutiny, it could be a clever move. In fact, the deal is reminiscent of Warren Buffett's approach to value investing at his Berkshire Hathaway conglomerate. Given Buffett's close friendship with former Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, it is not surprising that Microsoft is making reasonable acquisitions at reasonable prices during its mature growth phase.
Activision Blizzard has a leading portfolio of video game franchises, including Call of Duty, Candy Crush, Overwatch, and many others. With such a high market capitalization, it is one of the world's largest pure-play video game developers, ranking fifth in total game revenue worldwide.
Recently, however, the company found itself "on the operating table," so to speak. Last summer, California regulators filed a lawsuit against Activision, accusing it of widespread sexual harassment and gender pay inequality. In November, about a fifth of Activision's employees signed a petition urging CEO Bobby Kotick, who has led the company for more than 30 years, to leave. Although the company has taken various steps to correct apparent misconduct, including firing or disciplining more than 80 employees and altering some internal rules, Activision stock has not recovered and is down more than 35 percent from its February 2021 highs.
Although Microsoft is paying a substantial premium to last week's market price, the valuation is about 25 times this year's average earnings estimate of $3.80. If you pay attention to Activision's net cash position, the valuation drops to about 23. That's a pretty reasonable price for Activision's "drama-free," given the strength of its franchises and the way it has traded in the past.
Even if Microsoft gets a reasonable price for a separate Activision, Activision could be even more profitable in Microsoft's hands than as an independent company.
Given the turmoil in Activision's management, The Wall Street Journal reported that Kotick is likely to leave his post after the deal closes. Thus, new leadership and a culture change at Activision itself could help bring key talent and reinvigorate the business after the current employee crisis.
And just as streaming video platforms are spending heavily on their own content, video games, too, are moving to a subscription-based streaming package model. CEO Satya Nadella has doubled down on spending on native content for Microsoft's Game Pass, which Microsoft said in a press release reached more than 25 million subscribers, up from 18 million in early 2021. Activision itself has 400 million monthly active players, so it's reasonable to assume that some of those users will switch to Game Pass, which Microsoft promotes as "Netflix for gaming."
Finally, in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday, Kotick said that as games increasingly move into the metaverse, gaming companies will need technology expertise that Activision may not have, and it will probably be difficult to attract from the big tech companies -- especially given recent employee problems. Therefore, it does make sense to sell the company to a large tech giant with a variety of technology expertise. Microsoft, of course, has such expertise in abundance, thanks to its Azure cloud platform, Xbox gaming platform, and Hololens AR/VR headset.
While the ZeniMax acquisition went off without a hitch, Microsoft may be pushing the limits of its acquisition capabilities with this deal, given Activision's sheer size. At the time of writing, Activision's stock was only trading to the $82 mark, which leaves a lot of room below the $95 acquisition price. This seems to indicate a certain amount of skepticism about completing the deal.
Microsoft has been very good at avoiding antitrust regulators in Washington, who are instead mostly going after other FAANG stocks, particularly those related to social media. However, Microsoft is also not done with two other noteworthy acquisitions in the process in medical AI and advertising technology. Given the speed and size of the new deals, Microsoft could face a lot of resistance to buying Activision.
Nevertheless, if the deal goes through, it's a huge win and terrific use of the enormous $130 billion cash pile on Microsoft's balance sheet. Microsoft is doing great in the cloud computing and enterprise software markets, and that business alone would be enough for management to rest on its laurels. But to see management working hard to grow its consumer-oriented businesses -- search advertising and video games -- is refreshing. First-rate capital allocation and relentless pursuit of growth is another reason Microsoft deserves its high praise.
