Microsoft in Focus Ahead of Key Earnings, AI Outlook Under WatchMacro:
- Microsoft (MSFT) climbed on cautious optimism ahead of major earnings and economic data.
- Four of the “Magnificent Seven,” AMZN, AAPL, META, and MSFT, are set to report, with investors focusing on Microsoft (MSFT) today.
- Wall Street expects EPS of 3.22 USD and revenue of 68.44 B USD, both up YoY. Microsoft’s strength in AI, cloud, and enterprise software, along with its continued investment in AI talent and solid dividend history, makes this a closely watched report.
- Key drivers will be its results, AI/cloud growth outlook, and forward guidance, while any surprises could shift the stock sharply.
Technical:
- MSFT recovered and tested the resistance at around 396, confluence with EMA78. The price is sideways, and we await a clearer breakout to determine the following direction.
- If MSFT breaks above 396, the price may approach the following resistance at 405, confluence with the 100% Fibonancci Extension.
- On the contrary, remaining below 396 may prompt a retest to the support at around 378, confluence with the broken descending channel.

Entry: CMP 292

NSDQ100 INTRADAY resistance retest U.S. futures rose and the dollar strengthened after Donald Trump eased concerns that had been weighing on markets. He stated he has no plans to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell, despite ongoing frustrations over interest rates. While this helped calm nerves, Bloomberg's John Authers cautions against viewing it as a major shift in sentiment.
Trump also struck a more conciliatory tone on China, saying he intends to be “very nice” in trade talks and suggested tariffs could be lowered if a deal is reached—indicating a possible softening of his approach toward Beijing.

NSDQ100 INTRADAY resistance retest Tech stocks tumbled after the U.S. announced new restrictions on Nvidia chip exports to China and ASML posted weaker-than-expected results, sparking renewed trade war fears. The selloff wiped out $155 billion in market value between the two companies.
Meanwhile, China is holding off on trade talks, wanting the U.S. to take certain steps first—like toning down harsh rhetoric from officials—according to a source familiar with Beijing’s stance.
U.S. stock futures trimmed losses after that China news but still point to a lower open due to the tech slump. The dollar slid to a six-month low, while investors moved into safe havens, gold hit a record high and the Swiss franc gained.

Nasdaq 100 Opens with Bullish GapTrump Exempts Electronics from Tariffs; Nasdaq 100 Opens with Bullish Gap
Despite the weekend, the news flow remained intense amid the escalating trade war. According to media reports:
→ Certain tech products, including those made by Apple, have been exempted from Trump’s tariffs.
→ Trump announced he would make a significant statement regarding semiconductor tariffs on Monday, 14 April.
Stock Indices React to Trump’s Tariff Moves
These announcements were taken positively by the markets. As shown on the chart of the Nasdaq 100 index (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen), the new week opened with a bullish gap exceeding 1.5% – a stronger performance than the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen), which also saw a bullish gap.
This may suggest that market participants are cautiously optimistic that the sweeping tariff measures might be eased through exemptions, delays, or negotiation concessions. Nevertheless, the CNN Business Fear & Greed Index remains in "extreme fear" territory, despite inching higher compared to last week.
As of this morning, the Nasdaq 100 (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen) has recovered approximately 15% from its 2025 low.
Technical Analysis: Nasdaq 100 (US Tech 100 mini on FXOpen)
Seven days ago, we plotted an ascending blue channel and suggested that its lower boundary could act as support – which has indeed played out.
With the latest data in hand, there is reason to believe that bulls may now be aiming to push the price up toward the channel’s median line. However, as indicated by the arrows on the chart, this median appears to have shifted from acting as support to acting as resistance.
Bulls may also face headwinds from the wide bearish candle to the left, which was formed in reaction to Trump's tariff announcements. According to Smart Money Concept methodology, this area – marked by a bearish Fair Value Gap (highlighted with a rectangle) – may now serve as resistance.

NSDQ100 China to Hike Tariffs on All US Goods – Market MixedChina to Hike Tariffs on All US Goods – Market Reaction Mixed
China announced it will raise tariffs on all US imports from 84% to 125%, effective April 12. The move follows Washington’s decision to increase levies on Chinese goods to 145% earlier this year.
However, Beijing signaled it will no longer respond to future US tariff increases, calling the back-and-forth “a joke,” suggesting a shift in tone from retaliation to dismissal.
Market Reaction:
USD: The dollar weakened further following the announcement, reflecting rising trade tensions and risk-off sentiment.
Equities: US futures turned lower as traders priced in the potential economic drag from escalating tariffs.
Gold: Continued to rise, reinforcing its role as a preferred safe-haven amid geopolitical uncertainty.
US Treasuries: Traditionally seen as a safe-haven, Treasuries underperformed, suggesting investor confidence in them may be weakening under mounting fiscal and trade concerns.
Analysis:
Markets are increasingly pricing in the fallout from an intensifying US-China trade standoff. The rise in gold and the dip in Treasuries suggest a shift in investor preference toward alternative safe-haven assets. If trade tensions continue to escalate, further downside in risk assets and USD strength reversal are possible.

NSDQ100 INTRADAY oversold bounce backDonald Trump’s new reciprocal tariffs are now in place, adding pressure to the global economy as he aims to reshape international trade. Unlike past moves, China hasn’t responded immediately, marking a shift from its usual quick retaliation.
European and Japanese stocks fell on rising trade tensions, while U.S. futures remain steady ahead of the open. According to Goldman Sachs’s John Flood, the S&P 500 has dropped to a level where long-term investors are beginning to step in.
