MSFT March 15, 24: A Failed BreakoutOn March 12, 24, I wrote about NASDAQ:MSFT as it crossed the trendline with higher than average volume, which provides a buying opportunity.
Later, on March 14, 24, the stock again broke out into the new all-time high, which provided an additional buy point.
You can see these 2 posts below in the related idea section.
However today NASDAQ:MSFT , although still looking good, moved down the previous resistance with very big volume which showed that the breakout on March 14, 24 was failed.
I bought the stock on March 12. I also bought some on March 14. But as the breakout failed I sold what I have bought on March 14. I am ready to enter again if the stock move up to new all time high again.
What do you think about NASDAQ:MSFT Please share your idea. Thank you

Microsoft-Backed Rubrik Eyes $713 Mln IPOIn a move signaling robust confidence in the cybersecurity sector, Rubrik, a Palo Alto-based firm backed by Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ), is set to embark on an initial public offering (IPO), aiming to raise up to $713 million, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The cybersecurity software company is planning to offer 23 million shares priced between $28 and $31 each, potentially valuing Rubrik at approximately $5.4 billion at the upper end of the range. This IPO initiative underscores Rubrik's strategic positioning amidst a burgeoning demand for cloud-based ransomware protection and data-backup solutions.
Rubrik's planned IPO arrives against the backdrop of a revitalized U.S. IPO market, signaling a resurgence in investor appetite following a period of subdued activity. Notable successful listings, including those of Reddit and Astera Labs, have set the stage for a wave of upcoming public offerings, with companies like Cato Networks and Synechron poised to join the fray.
Founded in 2014 by venture capitalist Bipul Sinha, Rubrik has established itself as a leader in the cybersecurity space, serving over 5,000 business clients, including industry giants like Nvidia Corp and Home Depot. The company's robust growth trajectory is evidenced by a 47% increase in subscription annual recurring revenue compared to the previous year.
However, amid its IPO preparations, Rubrik finds itself entangled in a U.S. fraud investigation related to a former employee. The U.S. Department of Justice is probing allegations that the ex-employee diverted funds from 110 contracts with Rubrik into a personal operating entity, a development that adds a layer of complexity to Rubrik's IPO journey.
Despite the regulatory scrutiny, Rubrik's IPO aspirations underscore the market's bullish outlook on cybersecurity solutions. With the backing of industry stalwarts like Microsoft and a track record of delivering cutting-edge cloud-based security services, Rubrik's public debut promises to be a significant event in the cybersecurity landscape.
As Rubrik charts its course toward the public markets, investors will be keenly watching how the company navigates the IPO process amidst regulatory challenges and capitalizes on the growing demand for cybersecurity solutions in an increasingly digitized world.
Microsoft to launch AI tools: MSFT stock trading idea 12/04/24Microsoft is poised to enhance its artificial intelligence capabilities with new features that are scheduled for introduction at the upcoming annual Build conference. In January, CEO Satya Nadella emphasised that 2024 would mark a pivotal year for AI integration across every PC. The agenda for the May conference aligns with this vision, showcasing Microsoft's commitment to expanding AI tools for both personal computers and its Azure cloud service. This strategic focus is driven by the substantial revenue growth witnessed from customers utilising AI models in Azure, prompting Microsoft to develop new AI functionalities specifically for developers.
Now, let's transition to the technical analysis of Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT) to identify potential trading opportunities.
On the Daily (D1) timeframe, the stock has established a support level at 412.80 USD, with resistance noted at 430.80 USD. Microsoft's stock is currently trending strongly upwards, indicating the possibility for further increases if it surpasses the resistance level. Conversely, a break below the support level could lead the stock to retreat to 397.50 USD.
For traders, initiating purchases with a short-term target of 448.00 USD appears promising. For those considering a medium-term investment strategy, holding a long position to reach 470.00 USD could prove beneficial.

MICROSOFT: Sell and Buy at the right place.MSFT is on healthy bullish technical levels on the 1D timeframe (RSI = 60.229, MACD = 3.110, ADX = 14.662) and there is no indication that the current uptrend won't be extended. We expect the current HH bullish wave of the Channel Up to continue as high as 450.00 before a technical correction. This is what took place after the July 18th 2023 HH, which pulled back to the 0.382 Fibonacci level. Consequently we are willing to buy again for the long term only at 400.00.

Microsoft (MSFT): Climbing to New Heights or Ready for Reversal?For Microsoft, we've recently observed an uptick and, for visualisation, activated the 100% level on the two-day chart as a maximum target. A closer look on the two-hour chart suggests that we might be in the final wave, Wave 5. Since developing Waves ((iii)) and ((iv)), we've formed four more waves and are now approaching a new all-time high. We consider a maximum of $450 to be realistic, though further increases are possible. After such a substantial rise, we expect the target range to be between 38.6% and 54%, around $450. This area could be intriguing to monitor for a potential trend reversal. If such a reversal occurs around $450, we would look out for possible short positions. However, should we significantly surpass this level, which we currently don't anticipate, we would seek long positions. Depending on these developments, we'll adjust our strategy accordingly.
(MSFT) - A Comprehensive Look at the Bulls and Bears in PlayAs of the latest trading session, Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) exhibits intriguing technical patterns and indicators that warrant a closer examination for both bulls and bears in the market. With the current price standing at $424.59, let’s dissect the chart's tale through various technical lenses.
Ichimoku Clouds: A Bullish Horizon
MSFT's daily price action remains above the Ichimoku Cloud, indicating a bullish sentiment. The cloud's future span is upward sloping, which suggests that the bulls have the upper hand for the foreseeable future. However, it's worth noting the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen lines are experiencing a flattening, which could signal a consolidation phase or an impending volatility squeeze.
Fibonacci Retracements: Levels to Watch
The stock recently bounced off the 23.60% Fibonacci retracement level at $402.39, marking a solid support zone. A retracement towards this level could offer a buying opportunity for those who believe in the stock's fundamental strength. On the upside, the 50% retracement level at $370.02 may serve as a medium-term price target for a bullish scenario.
RSI & Stochastic: Mixed Momentum Signals
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers around 57.28, neither overbought nor oversold, suggesting that there's room for price movement in either direction without immediate momentum exhaustion. The Stochastic oscillator, however, with a reading of 59.90 and 52.11 for %K and %D respectively, implies that we might be closer to overbought territory, which could precede a pullback.
MACD: Caution on the Horizon
The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) presents a cautious narrative, with the MACD line slightly below the signal line, indicating bearish momentum in the near term. The histogram shows diminished bullish momentum, which could anticipate either a consolidation or a downward price correction.
Volume and OBV: Confirming the Trend
Volume trends and the On-Balance Volume (OBV) are critical in confirming the price action's validity. While the volume shows no significant spikes, the steadily rising OBV underscores a genuine accumulation phase, reinforcing the bullish price action.
Speculative Price Targets: Riding the Bull and Taming the Bear
For the optimists, setting a price target at the upper boundary of the Bollinger Bands, around $440, aligns with the current bullish momentum. For the cautious investor, any break below the 23.60% Fibonacci level could suggest a target of the next significant Fibonacci level at $402.39, as a potential area of interest for bears.
Conclusion: An Equilibrium of Forces
In conclusion, Microsoft's stock appears to be at a crossroads. While the Ichimoku Cloud and OBV point to a bullish trend continuation, the MACD and Stochastics suggest we proceed with caution. The mixed signals from momentum indicators coupled with solid support and resistance levels carved out by Fibonacci retracements present a battleground where bulls and bears are likely to tussle for control. Investors should monitor these levels closely and adjust their strategies accordingly.

MSFT - We nailed this short analysis, Don't sleep on the taper!!In my video yesterday I explained that proof of tapering from our purple HTF buying continuation to an even more tapered blue will lead to a liquidity build and a need to activate a stronger buying algo below. If taken correctly this turned out to be a 15 R:R trade.
Happy Trading :)

MICROSOFT $MSFT - Mar. 11th, 2024MICROSOFT NASDAQ:MSFT - Mar. 11th, 2024
BUY/LONG ZONE (GREEN): $405.00 - $415.00
DO NOT TRADE/DNT ZONE (WHITE): $400.00 - $405.00
SELL/SHORT ZONE (RED): $394.10 - $400.00
Weekly: Bullish
Daily: DNT, Leaning Bearish
4H: DNT, Leaning Bearish
Wanted to draw up NASDAQ:MSFT after seeing the ranging zone on the daily timeframe, figured I might be able to pick a few entries no matter which trend price breaks into. The bullish zone is expanded farther than I typically would have it because of how price is moving in the range and because there have been already been multiple tests to each level. Previous zones are labeled for reference. I would heavily rely on the 1H/15min timeframes for entries, and the Daily/4H timeframes for structure and zones to determine which direction I'm trading in. The weekly timeframe is bullish and the daily obviously has the sideways range as previously stated, but I would lean bearish because of the level breaks and structural breakdowns. The 4H is where I'm mainly looking, there was a strong bearish drop last Tuesday, March 5th. Price dropped from the bullish zone, straight through the DNT zone and right into the bearish zone. Price then tested and rejected the structural zone above (405.00 - 405.50), dropped to the bottom of the bearish zone (target 400.00), then broke back into the DNT area before rejecting the top level (409.30 - 410.10) and dropping back into the previous bearish zone (405.00), which is the current DNT zone (405.00). Although there is a lot of level breaks up and down through each zone, I am leaning bearish on the smaller timeframes due to how price has dropped and then retested as opposed to the bullish counterpart.
MSFT - Updated Analysis as we see further tapering rejectionsWe are seeing rejection from a very tapered blue buying continuation after last week's rejection of purple. We are holding magenta stronger buying continuation so we will need to see this fail in order to get into a further downside trade - however, with additional proof of rejection from blue tapered, we can get in an early short position to at least magenta to see if we're picked up there.
Either way, plenty of opportunity here on MSFT in the coming days and weeks.
Happy Trading :)
As Bullish As It Gets (Near-term)Bears/shorts are about to get absolutely slaughtered over the next couple weeks. By the time everyone switches long it will tank... Same story every time.
I just went long MSFT with a buy zone 413-419. I will add if we get another lower low but not expecting that.
Initial target 427 by 4/5.
Goal Target 440s by end of April.
Stop loss close below 407.
Don't short this yet.

MSFT momentum: potential upside towards 460-470 range by Q2 2024MSFT has been gaining momentum over the long term, indicating a potential move towards the 460 to 470 range by the second quarter of 2024. The stock's stability between 410 and 420 may potentially set the stage for a modest upside of over 10%.
MSFT - Great opportunity to short IF we fail this activationWe need to see yellow strong buying hold us to attempt another breakout of tapering up top. If we fail yellow, our next stop is magenta support which will be important for bullish price action to continue.
We will likely see this happen today - and if we do hold yellow and reject at tapered blue above, I will be taking shorts and expecting a gap down below yellow as we've seen in the past.
Happy Trading :)
MsftMajor rising wedge here for the biggest stock on the market...
In the scenario where this breaks wedge support and starts to correct the target would be 363 or the 200ma
Until we can play the wedge!
Price closed outside daily bollingerbands and hourly moneyflow is saying a 3-5% pullback is coming
My target here is 415, look for any pullback near trendline or 433.. stop loss with a close above 435
MSFT - Analysis after strong rejection off a tapered channelIf you understand what I see, this will make a lot of sense to you.
We are simply... Tapering. From strong buying magenta continuation, you can see signs of purple more tapered buying continuation starting to pick up and hold price. This means that we will taper in purple until we activate a stronger buying continuation to then break out of purple. If not, magenta will be no longer (for the time being).
That will be all for my analysis this morning. Will keep you updated as price develops on all of these!
Goodluck in the market today and...
Happy Trading :)
