MSFT This one is interesting.. I see two different patterns here.. The bearish pattern is a double top that would take us to 255 or daily 200ema. The bullish pattern is a falling wedge - that would take us back to 272 gap close. So which one is it? If we drop below 260 that would be my entry for 255 target. Anything above 260 isn't a good entry for a short. For the bullish scenario any entry should be above trendline breakout. I prefer above 264 but if your a permabull 😉 you can jump the gun with a 260 stop loss. Overall Msft will go In market general direction at this point but like aapl and tsla , msft sheer market cap can move the nasdaq. I bought calls earlier on this after swinging short. Got stopped out late in the day

MSFT Reaches Equilibrium within Its DowntrendPrimary Chart: Weekly Chart of MSFT Showing Down Trendline, 200-Week SMA, Key VWAPs and Fibonacci Levels Microsoft Reaches a State of Equilibrium within Its Downtrend Equilibrium means "a state of balance." Equilibrium has been reached precisely because MSFT is holding above long-term support, and below its primary downtrend resistance levels. It also has been acting bullishly (the failed breakdown today already discussed). SPX remains in a very tight triangle pattern, and this likely resolves soon (as the apex is approaching rapidly), perhaps after the February 1, 2023 FOMC. MSFT will likely follow suit with whatever direction SPX takes after that key decision. Markets seem to be interpreting every bit of news bullishly at the moment, giving even negative headline a positive spin. This should not be surprising, as markets do whatever they want, and this favors technical analysis. So markets may continue fighting the Fed even if nothing new is stated at the FOMC presser on February 1, 2023. SquishTrade will briefly summarize key technical points concerning Microsoft Corporation NASDAQ:MSFT . This firm reported earnings yesterday after the closing bell. Initially, the stock popped vigorously on what appeared to be earnings that were not as bad as feared. But when it gave guidance on its earnings call, the firm fell just as violently. During trade today, however, the forces buoying markets helped MSFT recover back above its uptrend line that runs from early January 2023 lows. This "failed breakdown" is short-term bullish from a technical perspective. Upside price targets have a lot of obstacles in their path given that the primary-degree downtrend remains intact from all-time highs in late 2021. Thus, any upside price target should be viewed as tenuous and conditional on substantial further progress in major indices (SPX / NDX). Upside price targets include two alternative Fibonacci and measured-move projections as well as major resistance from previous swing highs (blue rectangle) and down trendline resistance. Downside support remains at the 200-week SMA as well as the uptrend line off 2022 lows (dark blue). Conditional upside price targets 1. If SPX breaks its triangle pattern (approaching its apex now) to the downside, upside price targets should be invalidated. The FOMC presser on February 1, 2023, may be a critical turning point for markets. 2. Provided markets continue pushing higher, with pivot-hopeful stocks leading the way, and provide SPX breaks above its triangle pattern even if only for a few weeks, MSFT can reach $254.67 (which it reached after hours yesterday after the earnings report), and the 200-day SMA also aligns with this level (not shown) as of today. The down TL also lies near this area. If the downtrend line is broken convincingly, $261-$263 can be considered a more aggressive upside target, with the most aggressive target around $270-$273. 3. Downside support remains at the blue uptrend line from 2022 lows. Shorter-term support at the parallel channel from January 6, 2023, lows is also important. This support held despite a volatile whipsaw below it today after earnings were reported. Importantly, this post does not intend to imply that the Fed will pivot. No one knows when that happens, and the Fed has been stating that it intends to keep rates higher for longer, above 5% for all of this year. But mention of a pause by the Fed, or a discussion of a pause by the voting members, can fuel further rallies especially in technology stocks by participants who perceive this (perhaps incorrectly) as a pivot. Summary of key technical evidence : MSFT's weekly chart shows MSFT holding above an upward sloping 200-week SMA after piercing this long-term MA a couple of times. But the down TL from MSFT's all-time high remains intact. In fact, MSFT's down TL has not been attacked the way that SPX and NDX's down trendlines have been in recent weeks. Key VWAPs from all-time highs and from mid-August 2022 highs remain intact as well. The mid-August 2022 VWAP was resistance today, though barely so. The VWAP from the lows of 2022 was recovered today after a failed breakdown below it after earnings yesterday. MSFT has been forming higher lows (and higher highs) since its low in 2022. An uptrend line can be drawn from the October 2022 low to the present price bar. MSFT's candle this week has formed a doji—a technical signal of indecision (and equilibrium between buyers and sellers). This has followed large moves up and down in volatile trade after earnings were reported this week. MSFT experienced a failed breakdown below recent support and the shorter-term uptrend channel after earnings. This is short-term bullish suggesting the possibility of further upside. A major horizontal zone of resistance from 260-270 has rejected price firmly since late August 2022. MSFT may follow the direction SPX takes out of its consolidation triangle, where price is rapidly nearing the triangle's apex. Additional Charts Supplementary Chart A Notice how MSFT's price reclaimed the VWAP from the November 2021 low. That seems bullish. But it also failed at the anchored VWAP from the August 2021 high. That seems weak. This is yet additional evidence of the equilibrium between buyers and sellers, perhaps waiting to see if the Fed remains hawkish or if markets rally no matter what the Fed says, because the market has resolutely refusing to believe the Fed's dot plot anyway. Supplementary Chart B Notice this logarithmic linear regression channel's upper edge (+2 standard deviations) coincides with the downward trendline from the 2021 peaks as well as with the major area of resistance / supply (the blue rectangle shown). Concluding Comments Lastly, SquishTrade will address a few issues relating to the forces that appear to be at work as equities, including MSFT, rise higher despite bad news. It appears that markets are eagerly anticipating a Federal Reserve pivot or pause of some sort in the near future. There is some disconnect between what the Fed has said and what markets believe. Markets have priced in rate cuts later this year in fact, and the Fed's dot plot from the most recent FOMC meeting shows 5.1% as the terminal rate to be held throughout the entirety of 2023 with *no cuts anticipated.* Many believe that this Fed approach will soon change, as reflected by equity prices and Fed Fund futures pricing in rate cuts. Further, FOMO, combined with short covering, and CTAs that trade strictly with momentum in whatever direction, have driven prices near mid-December 2022 highs in the indices. Disinflationary trends have caused investors to believe that inflation is history. While inflation may have reached its peak, certainty about whether it will return to the Federal Reserve's target of 2% remains elusive. Will sticky inflation keep monetary policy tight for the remainder of the year? Will the market be proved wrong and ultimately decline to new lows because the Fed's view is right and the markets are fighting the Fed? Will the Federal Reserve pause hikes and hold rates higher for longer until more evidence appears that inflation is well on its way to the target? No one knows the answers to these questions, but they are relevant to what is happening in markets right now. If the market is wrong about inflation quickly returning to the Fed's target, or if the market is wrong about a "soft landing" (earnings and the economy not falling into a major downturn), then markets will quickly and viciously reach new lows. Until these become more apparent, expect prices to remain buoyed in MSFT and other major names.

Microsoft Ex-Dividend date on WednesdayMSFT has been on a bull run since it's 2023 bottom of $219.35 on 1/6/23. MSFT missed its Q2 December 2022 earnings revenue by -$240M and beat EPS by 3 cents. In its Q2 earnings conference call, MSFT guided lower for its Q3 March 2023 earnings forecast. Now lately everything AI has been on a speculative tear which includes ChatGPT OpenAI investment by MSFT. Tomorrow 2/14 is CPI so if the market goes up, it could be a sell higher opportunity. Friday's options data is roughly half puts and calls. Also, Wednesday 2/15 is Microsoft Ex-Dividend date which should bring investors selling pressure afterwards. pi RSI is overbought & pi RSI pattern looks similar to its run up on 8/17/22 Ex-Dividend date and TTCATR resistance levels are ahead. Taking all of this into consideration, I am posting MSFT as a short probability on or around this Wednesday 2/15. Here's MSFT 16hr ext (1 day) chart with important levels and options data: SMA50 = 245 SMA100 = 241 SMA150 = 250 SMA200 = 254 TTCATR SMA20: top = 283 R3 = 275 R2 = 267 R1 = 259 pivot = 250 S1 = 242 S2 = 234 S3 = 226 bottom = 218 2/17 expiry options data: Put Volume Total 28,246 Call Volume Total 57,986 Put/Call Volume Ratio 0.49 Put Open Interest Total 254,904 Call Open Interest Total 235,546 Put/Call Open Interest Ratio 1.08 3/17 expiry options data: Put Volume Total 5,794 Call Volume Total 18,124 Put/Call Volume Ratio 0.32 Put Open Interest Total 199,425 Call Open Interest Total 261,863 Put/Call Open Interest Ratio 0.76 4/21 expiry options data: Put Volume Total 2,551 Call Volume Total 7,096 Put/Call Volume Ratio 0.36 Put Open Interest Total 96,267 Call Open Interest Total 112,208 Put/Call Open Interest Ratio 0.86

$MSFT Flexing its musclesNo questions asked. I don´t care why but MSFT as well as NVDA (as most prominent examples) are counter trending vs the over all tech market. $MSFT's chart is telling us the following story at the moment: 1. Breakout above the 10 EMA (M), which is a key threshold. 2. Breakout into 5 month highs. 3. Break of structure with a fresh higher high after the price failed to make new lows. Caution: 1. The bar hasn't closed yet, 2. Price trading against a heavily congested area where the bears could step in. 3. No obvious trading set up yet. I Would need another breakout above the upcoming resistance to confirm the uptrend. Manage risk! Manage risk! Manage risk! Cheers, Tenacious Tribe

Financial PoemHi 😀 AI is hot topic amongst investors at the moment. Last weeks I’ve played around with Open AI’s ChatGPT. It’s very interesting product – mostly in terms of capability. I asked ChatGPT to write a poem about Financial Markets and here is the result ⬇️ Enjoy your trading! „Financial markets, a world of its own, With stocks and bonds and deals being thrown, The ebb and flow of wealth untold, As traders seek to buy and hold. A place of numbers, a place of might, Where profits rise and losses take flight, Where risk and reward go hand in hand, In a game that's constantly expanding. The roar of the crowd, the flash of the screens, As data streams and orders flow in teams, A symphony of trades, a ballet of wealth, As markets dance to the rhythm of wealth. From Wall Street to the City of London, Financial markets are always on. A constant pulse, a heartbeat so true, Fueling economies, shaping the world anew. So here's to the markets, both bold and free, A testament to the power of human industry. May the winds of fortune always be at our backs, As we strive to build our financial tracks.“ - ChatGPT

MicroSoft Going Hard on Google (unveils ChatGPT vs BARD) Charts first: 258.78 is double support we can count on, structure is quite strong. 313 will be our main target for 2023 and it could come fast as the news are Huge: Microsoft has announced a new version of its search engine Bing, which incorporates the latest in artificial intelligence. The overhaul deploys OpenAI's ChatGPT technology, which has taken the world by storm since its launch last year. The move is by far the biggest threat Google has seen to its dominance in web search - and marks the beginning of an AI arms race between the companies. "The race starts today," Microsoft boss Satya Nadella said. Developed by Microsoft-backed OpenAI, ChatGPT uses deep learning techniques to generate human-like responses to search requests. At the same time, GOOGLE announces their response to ChatGPT, in a race to come ahead of the popular AI service funded by Microsoft. Google’s Bard AI will soon enter beta and will be available to select testers around the world, months after OpenAI’s ChatGPT exploded in popularity. This will be interesting to watch and I do have a feeling that Google will win but the race will benefit Microsoft, at least temporarily. One Love, the FXPROFESSOR

Microsoft -> All Timeframes Are BullishHello Traders, welcome to this free and educational multi-timeframe technical analysis . Microsoft is looking extremely juicy right now. From a weekly perspective we just created a long term double bottom and we also broke above a long term downtrend line. There is definitely the possibility that after a short term pullback, we will start the next bullrun from here, creating new all-time-highs in the process. From a daily perspective I am just waiting for a short term retest of the weekly neckline of the double bottom and then there is a very high chance that we will also see the daily continuation to the upside from here. Thank you for watching and I will see you tomorrow! You can also check out my previous analysis of this asset:
