AAPL and MSFT Reading Charts For Better Entries and ExitsOptions Trading Strategy Using Ichimoku Cloud, 200 SMA & Monthly Contracts (Following Your 3 Trading Rules) This strategy adapts the Ichimoku Cloud & 200 SMA trend-following method for trading monthly options contracts with a focus on high-probability setups. It leverages time decay (theta), trend strength, and proper timing to maximize gains while reducing risk. ๐น Strategy Overview We will trade monthly options contracts using: Trend confirmation via Ichimoku Cloud & 200 SMA Directional bias based on price positioning Entry timing rules to avoid low-probability setups Theta-friendly positioning (avoiding weeklies to reduce time decay risks) ๐ Trading Rules & Setup (My 3 Golden Rules) ๐ซ No trading on Mondays โ Avoids choppy market structure from weekend gaps. ๐ซ No trading on Fridays โ Avoids gamma risk and weekend time decay. โณ No trades before the first 15-minute candle closes โ Ensures market direction is established. ๐ Selecting the Right Option Contract For monthly expiration contracts, select options that: Expire within 30 to 60 days (avoid weekly contracts to minimize rapid time decay). Are slightly in-the-money (ITM) or at-the-money (ATM) for higher delta (0.55โ0.70). Have open interest >1,000 and a tight bid-ask spread to ensure liquidity. Example: If today is June 11, trade the July monthly contract (third Friday of the month). ๐ Bearish Put Play (Short Trade) 200 SMA Bias: Price is below the 200 SMA Ichimoku Cloud Confirmation: Price is below the cloud Tenkan-sen is below Kijun-sen (bearish momentum) Chikou Span is below price from 26 candles ago Future cloud is red Entry Trigger (After First 15 Min Candle): Price pulls back into the Kijun-sen but rejects it OR price breaks below the cloud after a weak consolidation Enter PUT contract (monthly expiration) Stop Loss & Take Profit: SL: Above Kijun-sen or recent swing high TP: First at the cloudโs lower edge, second at a key support level Exit before Theta decay accelerates (last 14 days before expiry) ๐ Bullish Call Play (Long Trade) 200 SMA Bias: Price is above the 200 SMA Ichimoku Cloud Confirmation: Price is above the cloud Tenkan-sen is above Kijun-sen (bullish momentum) Chikou Span is above price from 26 candles ago Future cloud is green Entry Trigger (After First 15 Min Candle): Price pulls back into the Kijun-sen but holds OR price breaks out above the cloud Enter CALL contract (monthly expiration) Stop Loss & Take Profit: SL: Below Kijun-sen or recent swing low TP: First at the cloudโs upper edge, second at a key resistance level ๐ Trade Management & Adjustments Rolling: If trade is profitable near expiry but not at the full target, roll to the next monthly contract. Closing Early: If the trade is at 70-80% max profit, close early to avoid decay risk. Cutting Losses: If price closes inside the Ichimoku Cloud, consider exiting early (trend loss warning). ๐ Why This Works for Monthly Options? โ Avoids time decay risks of weekly options by trading monthly contracts. โ Uses strong trend confirmation from Ichimoku & 200 SMA. โ Only trades at high-probability times, avoiding choppy Monday & Friday moves. โ Allows scaling into strong trends rather than short-term noise.13:07by invinoveritas76711010102
Microsoft - A Little Lower And Much Higher!Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) is about to retest strong support: Click chart above to see the detailed analysis๐๐ป In mid 2024 Microsoft perfectly retested the previous channel resistance trendline and the recent weakness has not been unexpected at all. However the overall trend still remains rather bullish and if Microsoft retests the previous all time high, a significant move will most likely follow.

I find value here on MSFTMSFT recently retraced back to $380, fueled by headlines about Trump's tariffs. However, I find this retracement an overreaction. According to my calculations, MSFT is fairly valued now. Take this chance to add it to your portfolio today.Longby SGDKHOR116
MSFT morning analysisI don't normally apply Elliott Wave Theory to individual stocks, but MSFT is about as clean as it gets. Wave 2 is a zigzag of long duration, wave 4 is a triple-three of relatively short duration. RSI with bearish divergence. If this proves to be correct, the ultimate buy/long would be back towards the March 2020/COVID low (white rectangle).Shortby discobiscuit113
$MSFT - It is playing outNASDAQ:MSFT : Back in September 2024, I identified a head-and-shoulders top pattern. It now appears that the right shoulder is finally complete, and the trendline has been broken. The stock is getting close to the drop area I mentioned back then. by PaperBozz110
Microsoft (MSFT): The "Canโt Go Wrong" Stock... Until It DoesAh, Microsoftโthe tech titan that could probably survive a meteor impact. ๐โ๏ธ With a market cap so large it could buy entire countries and still have spare change for a few yachts, MSFT is the stock that everyone loves... even when itโs overvalued. But hey, letโs take a look at the "genius" behind the current price action. ๐๐ฐ ๐ The Almighty Stock Performance (Because Fundamentals Donโt Matter Anymore?) ๐ Price: $385.76 (up a whole 0.00584%! Call the champagne guy! ๐พ) ๐ Intraday High: $387.88 ๐ Intraday Low: $383.27 (because even Microsoft has bad days, right? ๐ ) ๐ฎ 200-day moving average: $423.98 (oh look, it's trading below that... bearish much? ๐ป) So, let me get this straight. MSFT is 7.80% down year-to-date, but analysts are still screaming โBUY! ๐.โ Sure, because blindly trusting price targets has always worked out well for retail investors. ๐ค ๐ฐ Valuation: Overpriced? Who Cares, Itโs Microsoft! ๐ข Intrinsic Value Estimate: $316.34 ๐ฌ Current Price: $385.76 ๐ฐ Overvaluation? About 18% But letโs be honestโdoes valuation even matter anymore? If people are throwing money at meme coins, why not pay a premium for MSFT? ๐คทโโ๏ธ Itโs basically a subscription service at this pointโyou pay every month, and the stock just keeps draining your wallet. ๐ธ ๐ค AI Goldmine or Just Another Buzzword? Microsoft has been riding the AI hype train harder than a teenager with ChatGPT. ๐๐จ Their enterprise AI growth is over 100%, and theyโre pulling in a $13 billion annual run rate from AI services. But sure, letโs pretend that no one remembers the last time โthe next big thingโ crashed and burned. (cough dot-com bubble cough). ๐๐พ Evercore analysts claim MSFT will dominate AI for enterprises. Well, duh. If youโre an enterprise and donโt buy Microsoft AI services, Satya Nadella himself might show up at your office and force you to install Windows 11. ๐ข๐ป ๐ Risk Factors? No Way! MSFT is Invincible... Right? ๐ฆ Hawkish Fed = Potential Market Sell-Off (But donโt worry, just HODL, right? ๐คก) ๐ Tech Bubble Concerns (Microsoft will totally be the exceptionโฆ like every overhyped stock before it. ๐ฌ) ๐ง Overvaluation? Pfft, who cares? (People said the same about Tesla at $400. Look how that turned out. ๐ชฆ) ๐ข Analyst Hot Takes (Because Theyโre Always Right ๐) ๐ D.A. Davidson: Upgraded to Buy with a price target of $450. (Ah yes, letโs just throw numbers out there. Why not $500? $600? ๐) ๐ฎ UBS: Predicts $3,200 for gold, but Microsoft will somehow go even higher. (Probably. Becauseโฆ reasons. ๐คทโโ๏ธ) ๐ญ Final Thoughts: Buy? Sell? Just Panic? Microsoft is basically the โsafeโ tech stock everyone clings to while pretending that the market isnโt built on dreams and overleveraged hedge funds. ๐ฆ๐ฐ If you believe in the power of monopolies, overpriced AI services, and analysts pulling price targets out of thin air, then MSFT is your golden ticket. ๐๏ธ๐ Otherwise, maybeโjust maybeโwaiting for a dip below fair value isnโt the worst idea in the world. But what do I know? Iโm just some guy on the internet. ๐คทโโ๏ธ ๐๐ธ Good luck, traders. Youโll need it. ๐๐ ๐ฌ What do you think? Drop your thoughts below! ๐๐ฅLongby thunderpips5

Microsoft (MSFT) faces a challenging outlook after a 16% drop Microsoft (MSFT) faces a challenging outlook after a 16% drop from its July 2024 peak. The long-term bullish structure has broken, with critical support at 380.65 providing temporary relief. Short-term recovery targets include 395.20, 404.40, 418.70, and 427.70. A significant market pullback could drive shares toward 357-348, 333.50-324.50, or even 310.00-300.00, mirroring historical declines of approximately 35%.Shortby Rotuma1
MICROSOFT Channel Down bottom formation targets $440.Microsoft (MSFT) has been trading within a Channel Down since the July 05 2024 High. The stock is on its latest Bearish Leg in the past 3 months and almost completed a -17.62% decline, similar with the Bearish Leg that led to the August 05 2024 Low. As the 1D RSI has Double Bottomed, which is what it did on the April 30 2024 Low that kick started a rally of +20.63%, we expect the stock to initiate its new Bullish Leg of the Channel. The previous one was +18.16%, so we expect a similar range and target $440. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE ๐, FOLLOW โ , SHARE ๐ and COMMENT โ if you enjoy this idea!

Weekly chart My minimum target for a Wyckoff off of this size is 345 or as low as the weekly 200ma I don't think we go straight there..

$MSFT AI & CLOUD COMPUTING GROWTHAs of March 12, 2025, Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) is trading at $383.08, reflecting a modest increase of 0.69% from the previous close. Despite recent market volatility affecting major technology stocks, several factors underscore a bullish outlook for Microsoft's stock: Microsoft continues to demonstrate strong financial health, maintaining robust cash flows and a solid balance sheet. This financial stability enables ongoing investments in research, development, and strategic acquisitions, positioning the company for sustained growth. Microsoft's significant investments in artificial intelligence, including its partnership with OpenAI, position it to capitalize on the growing enterprise demand for AI services. Analysts believe that the current stock price may undervalue Microsoft's strong fundamentals and potential in the AI market. Microsoft's extensive range of products and services, from its dominant position in desktop operating systems and productivity software to its growing cloud computing platform, provides multiple revenue streams. This diversification enhances the company's resilience against sector-specific downturns. Microsoft's position as a leader in the technology sector, coupled with its strong brand recognition, offers a competitive advantage. The company's ability to set industry trends and command premium pricing supports robust profit margins and market share. Microsoft's solid financial foundation, strategic investments in AI, diversified product portfolio, and strong brand equity contribute to a positive long-term outlook for MSFT stock.Longby Smarter_Trades2
MSFT - heading to support in the 340$ areaA very simple chart, just a channel and monthly MACD. Like some other tech stocks the ATH was in July 2024 and price seems to be heading to the lower trend line. If it does, the entire market will go down further as well. So keeping an eye on the monthly charts of big tech is important. The MACD (standard settings) of AAPL, GOOGL and NVDA is about to cross into "sell". by flightleader78112
MSFT Below Critical Reversal Zones! Watch Carefully! Quick update on MSFT based on the 1-hour chart setup, with special attention to reversal zones. ๐ Technical Analysis (TA): * MSFT is currently consolidating right within a key green reversal zone (around $393). This area indicates potential bullish exhaustion, signaling a possible reversal if price fails to break higher. * Immediate support marked clearly by the red reversal zone around $380. This significant area indicates potential bullish opportunities if tested. * A Change of Character (CHoCh) has been detected at both reversal zones, emphasizing their significance. * Pay close attention to how price reacts at the current green reversal zone; a confirmed rejection here could initiate bearish momentum towards $380. ๐ GEX & Options Insights: * Highest positive NET GEX and strongest CALL resistance are at $400โcritical gamma resistance. * Strong PUT support at $380, aligning closely with our red reversal zoneโhighly significant for downside defense. * IV Rank is moderate at 25.1%, providing opportunities for both bullish and bearish spread strategies. * Extremely low PUT ratio at 3.6%, indicating prevailing bullish sentiment; however, caution at reversal levels is advised. ๐ก Trade Recommendations: * Bearish Play: Consider puts if MSFT strongly rejects the current green reversal zone around $393, targeting the red reversal zone support at $380. * Bullish Play: If MSFT clearly breaks above the green reversal zone (above $395), target the gamma level at $400. Tight stop-loss around $390. * Neutral Approach: Iron Condors or credit spreads between the reversal zones ($380โ$400) could benefit from current moderate volatility. ๐ Risk Management: Given the significance of these reversal zones, carefully manage positions and respect stops.

Microsoft Stock Chart Fibonacci Analysis 031125Trading Idea 1) Find a FIBO slingshot 2) Check FIBO 61.80% level 3) Entry Point > 390/61.80% Chart time frame: C A) 15 min(1W-3M) B) 1 hr(3M-6M) C) 4 hr(6M-1year) D) 1 day(1-3years) Stock progress: B A) Keep rising over 61.80% resistance B) 61.80% resistance C) 61.80% support D) Hit the bottom E) Hit the top Stocks rise as they rise from support and fall from resistance. Our goal is to find a low support point and enter. It can be referred to as buying at the pullback point. The pullback point can be found with a Fibonacci extension of 61.80%. This is a step to find entry level. 1) Find a triangle (Fibonacci Speed Fan Line) that connects the high (resistance) and low (support) points of the stock in progress, where it is continuously expressed as a Slingshot, 2) and create a Fibonacci extension level for the first rising wave from the start point of slingshot pattern. When the current price goes over 61.80% level , that can be a good entry point, especially if the SMA 100 and 200 curves are gathered together at 61.80%, it is a very good entry point. As a great help, tradingview provides these Fibonacci speed fan lines and extension levels with ease. So if you use the Fibonacci fan line, the extension level, and the SMA 100/200 curve well, you can find an entry point for the stock market. At least you have to enter at this low point to avoid trading failure, and if you are skilled at entering this low point, with fibonacci6180 technique, your reading skill to chart will be greatly improved. If you want to do day trading, please set the time frame to 5 minutes or 15 minutes, and you will see many of the low point of rising stocks. If want to prefer long term range trading, you can set the time frame to 1 hr or 1 day. by fibonacci61800
