Microsoft earnings were positive. But they were not enough to break this channel since June 10th.
Today we gapped above resistance, breaking the channel. This was caused due to Microsoft winning the JEDI contract from the US government; who beat Amazon, Oracle and IBM cloud platforms.
Revenue from the JEDI contract is estimated at $10 billion over 10 years. The value of the contract isn't significant to Microsoft market cap of $1 trillion (1%), specially as it will take a decade to get. However, Microsoft earnings gave Azure (cloud service) a lot of importance. Beating its competition in this area, will boost sentiment. After all... we did break resistance on this specific news! Price talks more than anything.
