MSFT Microsoft Corporation Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven't entered MSFT when they bought a stake in OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT: Now analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of MSFT Microsoft Corporation prior to the earnings report this week, I would consider purchasing the 460usd strike price Calls with an expiration date of 2024-11-15, for a premium of approximately $13.05. If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.

MSFT Paths Ahead of EarningsMSFT is set to report earnings next week as we kick off mega cap earnings season. MSFT just had a fakeout above it's major ascending channel from 2023. It has now fallen all the way back down to the bottom end and even closed below today. It can still bounce, but if not I'll be looking for a move down to $398-$400 at least. That may provide a bounce, but if this channel does break, I would fully expect it to reject if it came back for a retest in the future. This could be a great dip buy if it holds, but I'll be waiting for confirmation and would never recommend buying options before earnings. It's an important watch either way due to the impact it has on NQ and the rest of the market.

Bullish Outlook for Microsoft Ahead of EarningsIn Microsoft, we see an open volume-imbalance gap at the top of the target range. The market tends to close these gaps sooner or later. In our experience, they are more reliable than “normal” gaps. In view of the technical chart situation and the stable fundamentals, we are bullish on Microsoft ahead of the earnings. Please note: The stop loss shown is merely an idea. Experience shows that market movements at earnings are very volatile. It may therefore make sense to wait until after the figures are published before taking a position.

How Did MSFT Stock Price React To Global Outage?How Did MSFT Stock Price React To Global Outage? On 19th July, a global outage occurred. Numerous computers running Windows worldwide experienced "blue screens of death" (BSOD), affecting companies in different sectors, including airlines, hospitals, media, banks, and others. The outage was caused by a CrowdStrike's Falcon Sensor update, a component of the Windows system that essentially works to protect computers from cyber threats. CrowdStrike quickly acknowledged the issue, stating that it was not a cyberattack but an update error, and suggested a solution. According to CNBC, the large-scale outage did not significantly impact the operation of most financial markets. Representatives of the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq stated on Friday that they were operating despite the issues with the CrowdStrike update. The only noticeable unpleasant consequence for most was the inability to calculate the Russell stock indices, including the popular Russell 2000. However, the confusion was resolved later on Friday. At the same time, the large-scale outage affected stock prices, including Microsoft. In pre-market trading on Friday, MSFT's price dropped below $430, but during the main session, the price managed to rise above it. As technical analysis of the MSFT chart shows, the $430 level is important – as it acted as resistance in March-May 2024. Therefore, its role as support might be justified by analysts. Additionally, the MSFT share price is near the lower boundary of the upward channel (shown in blue), which may provide additional support. However, no one can guarantee that the mentioned support levels will lead to a subsequent bullish impulse. On 19th July, we wrote about bearish signs on META stock charts. These are bearish aggression signs, which are concerning: → the price's inability to reach the upper boundary of the blue channel in early July; → a wide bearish gap when breaking through the median on 17th July. Wall Street analysts remain positive for now. According to TipRanks, the average forecast for MSFT is $504.12 (+15.33% from the current price) over the next 12 months. Microsoft's Q2 earnings report, scheduled for release on 30 July, has the potential to significantly alter the balance of sentiments.

Top 7 Books to Learn Advanced Technical Analysis for StocksTop 7 Books to Learn Advanced Technical Analysis for Stocks Mastery of advanced technical analysis is one of the factors that separates casual traders from experienced ones. Financial markets are not simple, so it’s important to understand the subtleties of price movements and chart patterns. This FXOpen article is best suited for experienced traders who already have basic trading knowledge but are looking to delve into advanced technical analysis. We’ve compiled a list of the 7 best books to learn stock trading that explain its complexities and offer invaluable insights and strategies to potentially enhance your trading. What Are the Best Books to Learn Stock Trading? Typically, sketchy knowledge from blogs or YouTube videos won’t be enough to allow someone to understand and improve technical analysis. Then, people turn to reading, trying to find the best books to learn the stock market that are available. The best stock market books are characterised by their practicality, expertise, and ability to provide valuable insights for investors and traders. They often cover a range of topics and are authored by experienced professionals in the field. Below, you’ll see a list of 7 books and their descriptions. 1. The Art and Science of Technical Analysis: Market Structure, Price Action, and Trading Strategies Author: Adam H. Grimes This book is a pioneering work that connects an academic view of markets, technical analysis, and effective trading. It explores why randomness dominates markets most of the time but not always. The author focuses on how technical analysis can be used to identify statistically validated patterns in certain market conditions. In reviews of the work, readers state that the book demolishes TA misconceptions and provides insight into the psychology of market players. The book is supported by extensive research and helps readers recognise technical patterns. 2. The Definitive Guide to Point and Figure Author: Jeremy Du Plessis One of the top books on stock trading is the work of Jeremy Du Plessis. This book is dedicated to technical analysis and Point and Figure charting. It includes a detailed explanation of the history and development of the technique from its invention to the present day and covers the construction of graphic patterns, the reasons for their creation, and ways of interpreting them. According to reviewers, the book provides knowledge that gives you an edge. After reading it, you will no longer look at price targets and risk-reward ratios like you used to. 3. Elliott Wave Principle: Key to Market Behavior Authors: Robert R. Prechter Jr., A.J. Frost, Charles J. Collins This book is a worthy reference for technical traders. It gives a good understanding of the Elliott wave principle, a form of technical analysis that traders use to analyse financial market cycles and trends. It’s not for amateurs, but experienced traders love it. The book is rather specialised as it contains material on one narrow topic, so it’s not a complete guidebook to mastering trading. Nevertheless, it’s very informative and concentrated. Reviewers note that the book teaches readers how to apply Elliott wave theory not only on stocks but also on commodities and forex markets. 4. Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns Author: Thomas N. Bulkowski This book is dedicated to trading on news and significant events, including quarterly earnings announcements, retail sales, and stock upgrades and downgrades. It offers empirical data illustrating the effectiveness and ineffectiveness of the patterns.

Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes Author: Brian Shannon This is one of the books for the stock market dedicated to many aspects of trading at once. You will learn how you may enter established trends with low risk, recognise and take advantage of cyclical capital movements in all markets, evaluate the potential of a trade using technical analysis, and much more. Reviewers mention that it provides powerful insights into how to use different timeframes to determine trends, confirm signals, and manage risk. The book is not complicated, but it is suitable for experienced traders, as it collects and systematises a huge block of information about the market. 6. Beyond Candlesticks: New Japanese Charting Techniques Revealed Author: Steve Nison This book provides a detailed analysis of Japanese candlestick charting techniques and how to use them in technical analysis. It discusses how to use candlestick patterns to identify trends, confirm signals, and manage risk. Readers value its step-by-step instructions, detailed charts and graphs, and clear guidance on tracking results. Moreover, the book helps readers understand the psychology of traders in the stock market and the logic behind their decisions. 7. Effective Trading In Financial Markets Using Technical Analysis Authors: Ashish Kyal, Smita Roy Trivedi Along with other books in this list, the work of Ashish Kyal and Smita Roy Trivedi explains how to use technical analysis in financial markets. It covers technical analysis tools, backtesting, and algorithmic trading in detail. It teaches readers how to use technical indicators and chart patterns, confirm signals, and manage risk. Readers say that it’s written in simple language, and there are multiple examples, case studies, comparisons, and figures for different assets and markets. Unlike many classic trading books, this work focuses a lot on the Indian market. It will be useful to those who are interested in that region. Final Thoughts It’s not an easy task to list the best books for trading in the stock market. If everything is clear in terms of materials for those who are just entering the world of trading, advanced books are harder to choose. Experts say that if you already have background knowledge, you can select books that either combine and systematise information about trading or deal with one specific area in detail. The more you read, the more experience and skills you will gain. And if you want to put your knowledge into practice, you can open an FXOpen account.

MSFT: A Potential Buy Amid Market Volatility.Given the current technical indicators and market conditions, here is a speculative trading strategy for MSFT: Long Position: Entry Point: Consider entering a long position if the price approaches the strong support level around $418.53. Price Target: Aim for the resistance level at $455.40 initially, with a potential to reach $492.85 in the medium term. Stop Loss: Place a stop loss at $410 to mitigate potential losses. Short Position: Entry Point: If the stock breaks below the $418.53 support level, consider a short position. Price Target: Target the next support level at $390.10. Stop Loss: Set a stop loss at $430 to limit potential losses. Examining the candlestick patterns, MSFT has displayed a series of red candles with significant upper wicks, suggesting persistent selling pressure. The price action reflects a bearish sentiment in the short term, but the long-term trend remains bullish, supported by the company’s robust fundamentals and continuous growth in its cloud computing division, Azure.

Microsoft WingsSharing some zones I find of interest and some ideas or potential scenarios I might want to have a lookout for. The stock wants to fly but how high? I have an interest in the purple zone in case it is reached in its time interval. Also for the upside, I have a peculiar interest in the white curve potential resistance which is mostly an estimation not a precise line level, but will be looking for weakness near it in case there are signs for a potential reversal. The green line will eventually be broken, not sure about the white one, which could prop up the price until it encounters the white curve. For more bearish toned scenarios, I look at the green and the red zones as potential support zones for reversals or just consolidations, but also having a lookout for a potential comeback that doesn't quite include these areas of interest for the big event that can propel this higher, even if the earnings disappoint and it takes another hit with a bearish wave. The marked time stamp could be meaningless, unless significant price action indicating potential reversal after descent occurs near it.
