NVDA - Antitrust Scrutiny and AI Market MilestonesMarket Chatter: Antitrust Scrutiny and Milestones in the AI and Tech Industry Antitrust Scrutiny for AI Dominance Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ), OpenAI, and Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA ) are facing antitrust investigations over their dominant roles in the artificial intelligence industry, according to The New York Times. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Justice Department have agreed to proceed with these investigations. The Justice Department will lead the investigation into Nvidia, while the FTC will focus on OpenAI and Microsoft. Nvidia's Market Cap Controversy Nvidia Corp. ( NASDAQ:NVDA ) has achieved a new milestone, surpassing a $3 trillion market capitalization for the first time and briefly overtaking Apple’s valuation. However, this milestone has reignited debates about its true value. Aswath Damodaran, a professor at New York University Stern School of Business and known as Wall Street’s "Dean of Valuation," believes that Nvidia’s intrinsic value does not justify its current price tag. He acknowledges the company's compelling narrative and market momentum but remains cautious about its lofty valuation. Short-Term Bets on Nvidia Ahead of Stock Split As Nvidia's stock split approaches, traders are making short-term bets on the stock's movements. Data from Cboe Global Markets shows that 19 out of the 20 most actively traded options tied to Nvidia are set to expire by the end of this week. This frenzy is reminiscent of the activity seen around Tesla's stock split in 2020. On Tuesday alone, Nvidia options worth around $283 billion were traded, dwarfing the $18.7 billion traded for Apple. Nvidia's Ascent in Market Valuation Nvidia has rapidly climbed the ranks of the world's largest companies. Earlier this year, it surpassed Amazon to become the third-largest US company. Recently, Nvidia overtook Apple, securing the second spot with a market value of $3.01 trillion. Nvidia's shares closed at a record $1,224.40 each. The company now aims to challenge Microsoft for the number one position, needing to gain approximately $150 billion in market value to do so. These developments highlight the dynamic nature of the tech and AI industries, with significant market movements and regulatory scrutiny shaping the landscape.

Analyzing NVDA's Breakout Patterns and Strategic Trading InsightDuring the last breakout, NVIDIA (NVDA) surged by 300 points before experiencing a sharp decline of 134 points within two days. This current situation bears a striking resemblance to the previous occurrence. Reaching 1282 would position NVDA as the most valuable company globally, contingent upon Microsoft's valuation. I possess additional market capitalization levels for comparison with Microsoft. I anticipate NVDA's final ascent towards becoming the world's most valuable company, followed by a significant pullback. This scenario echoes Tesla's (TSLA) behavior when it announced its first stock split: a substantial run-up leading into the split date, followed by a rapid 30%+ decline over a few days. Currently, I hold long call options for the upcoming day. I purchased 1200C on Monday, sold the majority, and retained one position overnight. My plan is to transition to put options when NVDA reaches the 1282-1300 level. Trade Idea: 1200P 6/14 at 1282.

Microsoft ventures into space-based data centre with LEOcloudMicrosoft Corp. is embarking on an innovative project to test a miniaturised data centre aboard the International Space Station (ISS). This initiative is part of a collaboration with startup LEOcloud, Sierra Space, Microsoft IT, and Red Hat. The objective is to establish a functioning cloud service infrastructure in space, a goal that Microsoft is already advancing through its existing space-based communications and computing services. LEOcloud aims to deploy the small data centre to the ISS by the end of 2025 to evaluate its performance in supporting cloud services directly from space. This concept holds immense promise for applications such as Earth remote sensing (ERS), where data can be processed directly on satellites, and would significantly reduce the volume of data transmitted back to Earth, thereby enhancing the speed and efficiency of data delivery to end-users. Assessing potential trading opportunities, let’s review the technical analysis of Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT): On the Daily (D1) timeframe, Microsoft’s stock established a resistance level at 430.80 USD and support at 414.25 USD. Currently, a correction in the uptrend is noticeable. If a downtrend develops, the potential downside target could be 340.00 USD. Conversely, if the uptrend resumes and the stock price breaks through the resistance at 430.80 USD, a short-term buying opportunity might arise with a target of 448.00 USD. If the upward trend continues, the price could ascend to 470.00 USD for a medium-term investment outlook. — Ideas and other content presented on this page should not be considered as guidance for trading or an investment advice.

MSFT Shares Surge on Record Yearly VolumesMSFT Shares Surge on Record Yearly Volumes On Friday, 31 May, almost 48 million Microsoft shares were traded on the NASDAQ – the highest number since the start of 2024. Meanwhile, the MSFT price chart formed a “hammer” candle: → trading opened at $416.75 per MSFT share; → mid-session, the price dropped below $406; → however, by the end of trading, the price had recovered to $415.13. Fundamentally, it is difficult to pinpoint a single piece of news that served as the bullish driver. According to Barron's, a significant incentive for investing in MSFT shares should be considered the prospect of high dividend payouts. From the perspective of MSFT chart technical analysis, the price action can be interpreted as evidence of demand absorbing all selling pressure: → the share price is within an ascending channel; → having dropped to the $406 level, the price pierced the $406.40 support from 8 May – this likely triggered mass activation of buyers' stop-losses and led to a shift in the balance of buyers and sellers; → in the pre-market today, the MSFT price is around the median – thus, it can be assumed that the market will consolidate at the beginning of the week. If Friday's bullish momentum continues, the price may encounter resistance around the bearish gap at $424 per MSFT share. A crucial driver for the price of MSFT and other market leaders in the near future will be the upcoming Fed meeting on interest rates, scheduled for Wednesday, 12 June. According to TipRanks, the average forecasted price of MSFT shares in 12 months is $491.90 (+18.49% from current levels).

MSFT Bullish Continuation out of a Cup and Handle LONGMSFT on the daily chart shows the price action in the bull run out of the Covid lows then a cup and handle pattern is printed and finally bullish continuation above the level of the cup. Since the cup has a height of $145 and the level of the lip of the cup is $345, the pattern forecasts bullish continuation for $ 145 above the cup's lip at $ 345 and so targeting $ 480. I will continue to add to my MSFT position while watching for pivot lows on the 120-240 minute charts. MSFT is a major player in the AI space and could even launch its own semi-conductor division to compete with NVDA and the others. It has a healthy balance sheet and free flowing cash from which to grow without dependence on interest rates coming down. The RSI indicator shows consistent strength without signs of being overbought.

$MSFT earnings? Could we see another drop to $370?NASDAQ:META had a negative reaction to earnings yesterday. I was originally thinking that MSFT's earning reaction would be positive but as I look at the chart and options flows, I'm starting to think we're going to see a negative reaction. I think most likely outcome is that we drop from here to around the $370 level, if that level can hold there's potential for one more rally into May to the $454 level. Otherwise if it can't, we risk seeing more downside to the lower levels. Let's see what happens after the market closes.

MicroSoft Takes Another Turn With Move to Bring ‘Call of Duty" Microsoft's gaming strategy has taken a significant turn with the reported move to bring Call of Duty to Xbox Game Pass. The Wall Street Journal reported that Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) plans to debut 2024's new Call of Duty at next month's Xbox Games Showcase, alongside the announcement that it will be available on Game Pass on its launch day. Microsoft's bet seems to be that Call of Duty on its Game Pass subscription service will spur a new wave of interest in both the service and the Xbox as a platform. While rumors persist that Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) will raise the price or add new tiers to Game Pass in the near future, it would still let a single person play the new Call of Duty for a couple of months for less than the $70 cost of the base game. This could cannibalize the game's overall sales, particularly on the Xbox platform. In theory, this could authoritatively confirm or deny Microsoft's portrayal of the Game Pass service as a "discovery engine," where players frequently try games before they buy them. This could bring in a new wave of interest from people who might otherwise never have tried a new Call of Duty or might give a few million casual players an excuse to not buy this year's edition of the game. As we learned last summer during Microsoft's court battle with the FTC over its Activision acquisition, Call of Duty by itself makes up a non-trivial amount of the video game audience. If Microsoft had simply decided to make Call of Duty a console exclusive on Xbox, it would have pulled roughly 7 million players away from Sony's PlayStation 4 and 5 systems. Instead, the reported plan is to let the game stay cross-platform, but to use it to drive Game Pass subscriptions. The Call of Duty gamble, if it happens, would be the latest in a series of recent Xbox controversies. Microsoft's gaming arm was in good shape at the start of the year, with Xbox topped Windows in revenue for the first time, and its major competitors on console didn't have much left in the tank. Microsoft then announced earlier this month that it would shutter several of its studios, all of which were subsidiaries of Bethesda Softworks. This was the latest in a series of layoffs and shutdowns that has ravaged the international video game industry for the last 18 months, including 1,900 lost jobs at Xbox in January. It's unlikely that next month's Showcase and the attendant Call of Duty reveals are a make-or-break moment for the Xbox project overall. Instead, it's more likely that Call of Duty on Game Pass will be a final test for Xbox's current operational strategy. If this falls through, the next move is a big executive shakeup, followed by a series of new initiatives. The upcoming year will either vindicate or vilify Spencer's time as head of Xbox, which could either take Call of Duty down a peg or lock it in place as the most valuable IP in the modern games industry.

Microsoft to Use Cloud Customers AMD's AI Chips in Place of NVDAMicrosoft plans to offer cloud computing customers AMD's AI chips as an alternative to Nvidia's H100 family of powerful graphics processing units (GPUs). Details will be provided at Microsoft's Build developer conference next week. Microsoft's clusters of Advanced Micro Devices' ( NASDAQ:AMD ) flagship MI300X AI chips will be sold through its Azure cloud computing service. These chips are powerful enough to train and run large AI models, and NASDAQ:AMD expects $4 billion in AI chip revenue this year. Microsoft's cloud computing unit also sells access to its own in-house AI chips called Maia. The Cobalt 100 processors, which Microsoft plans to preview next week, offer 40% better performance than other processors based on Arm Holdings' technology. Snowflake and others have begun using them. The Cobalt chips are being tested to power Teams, Microsoft's messaging tool for businesses, and are positioned to compete with Amazon.com's in-house Graviton CPUs. Technical Outlook Advance Micro Devices (AMD) stock is up 2.1% on Friday's early market trading with the daily chart depicting a resurgence in price due to the bullish flag pattern formed. Further accentuating the bullish trend is the "Three White soldier" pattern which is a bullish reversal pattern that occurs after a falling wedge or downtrend, it signifies bullish takeover.

Billiam Yates (TGR - pt.3)I've made good profit playing MSFT calls over the past year. But now I'm seeing evidence that a major top is in, and there will be some explosive downside near/mid term. Sell zone is 410-420 (so if it goes to 420 I'll take that as a gift to load June puts). Expecting the reversal to the downside to begin by May 10th. Target 1 = 399 by 5/17 Target 2 = 390 by 5/31 This is setting up for further downside to 380s at least, probably a lot lower. ~Sincerely Willy G.

OpenAI’s search engine: Implications beyond GOOG stockOpenAI has denied rumors claiming it's set to reveal an AI-powered search engine for its flagship chatbot, ChatGPT, on Monday. Although there is speculation that OpenAI is being a bit of a wise guy, and the product it will demo is not a search engine, but what they might dub as the next generation of search engines. It will be interesting to see if this product, whenever it is first demonstrated, is anything Google will have to worry about. According to Bloomberg, OpenAI’s search tool will be partly powered by Microsoft’s Bing search engine. Make of that what you will. Either way, this could likely ratchet up competition with Google and the market might have already begun to price in this risk to GOOG stock. But what other stocks could face a negative or positive risk from this development? Maybe we can ask ChatGPT: “Online advertising companies: Companies that heavily rely on Google's advertising platform for revenue could face challenges if advertisers shift their budgets to the new search engine. This includes companies like The Trade Desk (TTD), Magnite Inc. (MGNI), and Criteo S.A. (CRTO). E-commerce platforms: Google's search engine is a major source of traffic for many e-commerce platforms. If a rival search engine gains popularity, it could impact the flow of traffic and potentially affect revenue for companies like Amazon (AMZN), eBay Inc. (EBAY), and Shopify Inc. (SHOP). Payment processing companies: Google's search engine facilitates e-commerce transactions, which benefits payment processing companies like PayPal Holdings Inc. (PYPL) and Square Inc. (SQ). If a rival search engine affects e-commerce traffic patterns, it could indirectly impact payment processing companies. Digital marketing agencies: Companies that specialize in search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM) services may see a shift in demand if advertisers allocate resources away from Google towards the new search engine. Examples include companies like WPP plc (WPP) and Omnicom Group Inc. (OMC). Data analytics companies: Google's search engine generates vast amounts of data, which is valuable for analytics purposes. If a new search engine captures market share, it could impact data analytics companies that rely on Google's data for insights. Companies like Nielsen Holdings plc (NLSN) and The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation (DNB) could be affected. Online review platforms: Google's search engine plays a significant role in driving traffic to online review platforms like Yelp Inc. (YELP) and TripAdvisor Inc. (TRIP). A new search engine could potentially change the dynamics of online reviews and impact these platforms' user base and revenue streams.”

Microsoft Set to Rival Google and OpenAI On Development of MAI-1Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) is developing a new AI language model, MAI-1, to compete with Google and OpenAI. Under the supervision of Mustafa Suleyman, former Google DeepMind co-founder, the model aims to surpass the capabilities of Google and OpenAI. MAI-1 is expected to surpass Microsoft's previous smaller, open-source models in size and capability, potentially signaling higher costs. The purpose of MAI-1 is yet to be fully determined and is contingent upon its performance. The model's unveiling may occur during Microsoft's upcoming Build developer conference. Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) recently introduced Phi-3-mini, a smaller AI model, aiming to broaden its client base with cost-effective alternatives. Phi-3-mini, measuring 3.8 billion parameters, is available in the Microsoft Azure AI Model Catalog, Hugging Face, Ollama, and as an NVIDIA Corporation NIM microservice with a standard API interface. Microsoft's substantial investment in OpenAI technology and ChatGPT deployment has positioned it as a frontrunner in generative AI.

MICROSOFT on an excellent long-term buy level.Microsoft (MSFT) has been trading within a Channel Up since the January 06 2023 low and yesterday came to the closest 1D candle closing to the bottom (Higher Lows trend-line) of the Channel Up since September 27 2023. That was also the last Higher Low of the Channel Up, achieved exactly on the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level from the previous Low. With the price now below the 1D MA100 (green trend-line) but still above the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), it appears that we are on symmetrical levels with that Higher Low. The 1D CCI patterns between the two fractals are also similar and long-term investors can start considering buying MSFT again. Our medium-term Target is $450.00. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Microsoft bearish ideaGiven the recent decrease in earnings and the substantial holdings of shares by major institutions, it appears prudent for investors to consider taking profits and bolstering capital. This is particularly pertinent given the current bearish sentiment in the broader market, as evidenced by the downward trends in indices such as the S&P 500 and DJIA. Against this backdrop, the market has recently tested the MA50, accompanied by notable volume, suggesting an increased likelihood of a bearish downturn. In light of these indicators, it may be wise to consider a short-selling strategy with a target profit of up to 21%, while remaining open to the possibility of earlier profit-taking opportunities. Momentum in prices is already trending downwards, and should the broader market continue its bearish trajectory, there is a substantial chance that major companies like Microsoft could experience downward pressure on their stock prices.
