MSFT Wave C
Microsoft is breaking green trendline support and is heading for another leg down for black C.
A probable target is the 365 support zone, which is also very close to the 100% extension of A-B.
70% Dot.com crash to repeat for Microsoft?** long term forecast, the years ahead **
On the above 2 month chart price action has rallied 700% in the last 9 years. A number or reasons now exist for a bearish outlook. They include:
1) Price action and RSI support breakouts.
2) Legacy support confirms resistance.
3) A rising wedge formation confirms breakout, with 50% correction forecast to $220. (see below)
4) Regular bearish divergence as measured across a 10 month period. It is in fact the highest number of oscillators to negatively with price action.
5) Confirmed monthly Gravestone DOJI candle. (see below)
6) A 70% correction would still leave Microsoft with a market capital of $915b !!
Is it possible price action continues to print higher highs? Sure.
Is it probable? No.

MSFT : Going long for about 0.625% of the net capitalTechnical Overview
Took a position for about 0.625% of the net capital from the lower trendline of the parallel channel. As of now, the target considered is the high of the parallel channel, to where there is a potential move of about 10% from the entry level.
Will consider adding on to the position if the price falls to the, low of the ascending channel as marked in the charts.
Fundmental Overview
In the fiscal quarter ending January 29, 2025, Microsoft reported a 12% increase in revenue, totaling $69.6 billion, and a 10% rise in net income to $24.1 billion. The Intelligent Cloud segment, which includes Azure, saw a 19% revenue growth. However, Azure's growth rate decelerated to 31%, down from 34% in the previous quarter.
The company is significantly investing in artificial intelligence (AI), with plans to allocate $80 billion in capital expenditures for the fiscal year, primarily aimed at enhancing AI infrastructure.

Island reversal - Downside to come
Price<20 but above 200MA
Target $318
MSFT LongBeautiful climatic Buy Setup off a major support. With the good earnings report last week then a drop. I feel price has potential to go up.
Be like Mic(rosoft) - LONG at 410.95I get excited every time MSFT shows up on my screener, because it is literally THE #1 stock in my trading universe (over 2000 stocks) in terms of its risk-adjusted per day returns (.23% based on over 1000 real and backtested trades). I mean it's #1 all time and that return is even MJs number. That has to be a sign...
Seriously, though, when it produces over 1000 trades without a single losing trade, averaging a 2% gain in 9 trading days, I trade it EVERY chance I get.
For those who are new to my trading system, I'll provide a couple of comparisons. NASDAQ:AAPL (also undefeated) has produced a daily return of just over .14%/day over its 1300 trades and everyone's darling until last week, NASDAQ:NVDA (also undefeated), has produced an average return of around .11% per day spanning a little over 700 trades. Finally, the average return of the S&P 500 historically is just over .04% per day.
Now my ranking system also includes factors like maximum drawdown, maximum capital allocation, number of trades (trading history) and some other factors. So among large/mega caps, that composite score puts MSFT at #1, AAPL at #25 and NVDA at #280 (penalized for a much shorter track record than the other two while also producing lower returns). So you see, MSFT is a standout among standouts, just like #23 the G.O.A.T. was.
Right now, it is stuck in a trading range - and that's OK. Ranging stocks often provide the best results for me, given how I trade. That green lines also show some near-term support here. This is my second idea for MSFT, so if you want a taste of what to expect, check that first one out. In this market, I'll be happy with any win, though. Honestly, I'm happy with any win in any market. I'm not greedy.
Now this win won't likely be a home run, that's not what I do. I like quick wins that I can harvest profits from and then put that money back to work in another high probability trade. They aren't all quick, this is the market after all, but that is the goal. It usually is, though. We are in a tough market, so I'm prepared for a more challenging route to profitability than normal.
Per my usual strategy, I'll add to my position at the close on any day it still rates as a “buy” and I will use FPC (first profitable close) to exit any lot on the day it closes at any profit.
As always - this is intended as "edutainment" and my perspective on what I am or would be doing, not a recommendation for you to buy or sell. Act accordingly and invest at your own risk. DYOR and only make investments that make good financial sense for you in your current situation.
MSFT in RangeDespite the rising wedge, in my opinion it is still a buy due to its fundamentals and tailwinds on AI and ChatGPT.
MSFT GEX Analysis and Option Trading SuggestionsKey Observations from GEX Chart
1. Call Resistance:
* Key resistance levels are observed at $420 and $415, with a strong gamma wall acting as a potential rejection zone.
2. Put Support:
* The strongest support is near $405, aligning with a high concentration of negative gamma exposure. Below this, $400 serves as additional support.
3. Gamma Pivot Zone:
* $412.50 acts as a pivotal point. Holding above this level could lead to a bullish continuation, while rejection might favor bears.

* IVR at 29.8, indicating relatively low implied volatility, making option premiums affordable for directional trades.
5. Implied Volatility (IVx):

* Strike 1: $415 (Buy Call)
* Strike 2: $425 (Sell Call)
* Expiry: 2-3 weeks out.

* Trade Idea: Buy a Put Debit Spread.
* Strike 1: $410 (Buy Put)
* Strike 2: $400 (Sell Put)
* Expiry: 2-3 weeks out.
* Reasoning: Targets downside momentum toward the $400 support level.

* Trade Idea: Sell an Iron Condor.
* Sell Put: $405
* Buy Put: $400

Thoughts and Insights
* Critical Levels:
* Support: $405, $400
* Resistance: $415, $420

Microsoft (MSFT) Shares Drop Over 6% After Earnings ReportMicrosoft (MSFT) Shares Drop Over 6% After Earnings Report
According to the Microsoft (MSFT) stock chart:
→ The candle on 29 January closed around $441 before the company released its Q4 2024 earnings report.
→ As a result, the 30 January session opened with a significant bearish gap and closed lower at around $415, marking a total decline of over 6%, despite the company exceeding analysts' expectations.
Media reports indicate:
→ Earnings per share (EPS) stood at $3.23, surpassing the forecast of $3.11.
→ Total revenue reached $69.63 billion, beating the projected $68.78 billion.
However, investor concerns arose due to slowing growth in Microsoft's Azure cloud segment and rising AI development costs. Business Insider reports that Microsoft plans to spend $80 billion on AI infrastructure this financial year. While this substantial investment aims to strengthen its AI position, doubts remain about its long-term profitability.
The technical analysis of the Microsoft (MSFT) stock chart presents a concerning picture, as the price has dropped to a key support level—the lower boundary of the upward channel (shown in blue). This channel was formed by a strong bullish impulse in early 2024 (indicated by an arrow), driven by AI enthusiasm. However, sentiment has shifted, with AI now acting as a selling trigger, increasing the risk of MSFT breaking below this key support.
If this happens, MSFT may test the psychological level of $400 per share once again. Notably, in 2024, the price has not stayed below this level for long.
Despite the recent decline, analysts remain optimistic about MSFT stock. According to a TipRanks survey:
→ 27 out of 30 analysts recommend buying MSFT.
→ The average 12-month price target for MSFT is $508.

MSFT Short: Breakdown of TrendlineThis is an update to my previous idea where I mentioned that MSFT will move up in a wave 2 and then come down to a wave 3. It has happened and now we are seeing wave 3 that broke the trendline. It is still a short.
MSFT Long then Short: Wave 2 and Wave 3MSFT has completed the first intermediate wave 1 of 3 (blue waves) and now with the last 2 reversal candles, I am expecting it to push up in a wave 2 of 3 before coming down again on a wave 3 of 3.
The Fibonacci retracement levels are references for where the price may be rejected as it moves up in this wave 2 of 3.
The black down arrow is where I think it might be rejected.
I am setting this as a "short idea" even though in the short-term I expect it to move up. Reason being that the bigger trend is down.
$MSFT Expected Move for EarningsAlright. MSFT earnings today and we have a 4.67% expected move from 425 - 468
MSFT: At Resistance – Next Move Determines the Trend🔥 LucanInvestor's Strategy:
🩸 Short: Below $440, targeting $430. Failure to hold above EMA 9 could accelerate the decline.
🩸 Long: Above $450, targeting $480. A breakout above resistance would confirm bullish continuation.
🔥 LucanInvestor's Commands:
🩸 Resistance: $450 — Key breakout level for further upside.
🩸 Support: $432 — EMA 200 serves as a crucial safety net.
Microsoft is showing strength but needs a decisive breakout above resistance to sustain bullish momentum. MACD suggests positive momentum, but volume must support the move.

MSFT Microsoft Corporation Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t bought MSFT when they reported 49% stake in OpenAI:
Now analyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of MSFT Microsoft Corporation prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 430usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2025-2-21,
for a premium of approximately $15.35.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
