#MSFT - HTF Distribution - Waiting for key levels to be taken.Clear HTF distribution. Thereโs a potential pullback (if it occurs) into the 1W PHOB before a downward continuation.
Personally, Iโd like to get involved between the HTF Demand zone and the 1M PHOB + 4W HOB, which, in my opinion, could serve as a potential reversal level, so keep an ๐ out
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%.
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.

If this proves to be correct, the ultimate buy/long would be back towards the March 2020/COVID low (white rectangle).
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

MsftNasty distribution playing out here... End of Q2 target is 320-350
Monthly chart..
Reversal candle In Dec .
Structure is sideways for the entire 2024 which is an ENTIRE year of DISTRIBUTION.
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.. I think in the next 2weeks price will draw down to close gap at 367.00 from Jan 2024 ..
Price has formed a controlled channel thats looking wedgy..
From 367 I expect a rebound up to
410-420
I don't think price gets back over 420, I think that's when MSFT and the rest of the market takes its next major leg down in May
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.
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.

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".
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.
