FTC Appeals to Block Microsoft Activision MergerI am providing a crucial update regarding the recent news of the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) decision to appeal against the proposed merger between Microsoft and Activision. This development has significant implications for the tech industry, particularly for those who have invested or are considering investing in Microsoft stock.
The FTC's decision to appeal the merger indicates that regulatory authorities are scrutinizing the potential consequences of this consolidation. While mergers and acquisitions can often lead to positive outcomes, such as improved products and services, it is essential to approach this situation cautiously, considering the potential risks and uncertainties ahead.
As tech traders, it is crucial to carefully evaluate the potential impact of this appeal on Microsoft's stock performance. The uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the appeal, coupled with potential delays or even the possibility of the merger being blocked, could significantly influence the company's stock value in the short to medium term.
Therefore, I strongly advise you to exercise prudence and consider holding off on buying Microsoft stock until further clarity emerges regarding the outcome of the FTC's appeal. By doing so, you can better protect your investment and mitigate potential risks associated with this merger.
It is important to understand this is not financial advice but rather an alert to the potential implications of the FTC's appeal on Microsoft's stock performance. As always, I encourage you to consult your financial advisor or conduct thorough research before making investment decisions.
In conclusion, the FTC's decision to appeal the Microsoft-Activision merger has introduced an element of uncertainty into the market. By adopting a cautious approach and refraining from immediate stock purchases, you can better position yourself to make informed investment choices once more clarity on the situation emerges.

In addition to announcing a six-cent-per-share dividend increase, Microsoft announced a share buyback program. The company’s three-year dividend growth is over 31%, which is exceptional. And this is an example of a stock that is also making growth investors happy. Since the correction at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, MSFT stock has seen its share price rise 102% as of this writing. The success of Microsoft Teams to facilitate the need for remote work as well as remote learning will likely continue to be a catalyst for some time. Analysts still foresee a nearly 10% upside for the stock from its current price at around $303 per share. According to marketbeat

Microsoft hidden bullish divergenceWeekly chart, first off this goes against my case for a depression however I believe tech stocks will prop the market up during these rough market conditions, which is congruent with another one of my previous analyses. The divergence is hidden as RSI shows lower lows while price maintains higher highs, a parabolic move can be seen on MSFT if this continues it may lead to a bearish divergence on the RSI. Best move is to buy here and sell at $160-165 for short term profits, or just go long lol.

Pattern: Potential Bullish Pennant
Global view: MSFT will continue its direction upwards after a shaky sell off in October.
Action: Observe for reverse of current direction to confirm bullish movement. Might bounce off of 106 price area.
MSFT ViewThere will be a time for this stock for fall off the clip for at least a healthy correction. The only thing can do that is Financial Crisis. Great fundamental, great persons behind, great product, having their own audience, development is massive. All the way up. I wish MSFT keep going on it's project developing blockchain.
