Microsoft's Deal With Mistral AI Faces Regulatory ScrutinyMicrosoft's ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) recent collaboration with French startup Mistral AI has sparked outrage among European lawmakers, prompting calls for a thorough investigation into what is perceived as a consolidation of power by the Redmond-based company.
The European Union, already scrutinizing Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI, raised additional alarms as news broke of the tech giant's 15-million euro investment in Paris-based Mistral AI. The investment, earmarked for integrating Mistral's AI models into Microsoft's Azure cloud computing platform, has set off a wave of apprehension regarding potential antitrust violations and monopolistic practices.
Despite assurances from Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) that its investment does not confer ownership in Mistral, but rather equity in future funding rounds, skepticism persists among policymakers in Brussels. The deal has fueled concerns that Microsoft's growing influence in the European AI landscape could stifle competition and innovation, particularly among smaller startups.
The timing of the announcement, coinciding with ongoing discussions surrounding the EU's comprehensive AI Act, has further exacerbated tensions. Mistral's purported lobbying efforts for exemptions under the AI Act have drawn scrutiny, with some lawmakers questioning the authenticity of claims regarding the protection of European startups.
European Parliament members, including Brando Benefei and Kim van Sparrentak, have raised doubts about Mistral's motivations and its alignment with American-influenced tech lobbying efforts. Allegations of a concerted effort to circumvent regulations under the guise of supporting "European champions" have cast a shadow over the integrity of negotiations surrounding the AI Act.
Alexandra Geese echoed concerns over the concentration of power and resources, urging for a thorough investigation into Mistral's conduct and potential collusion with the French government. The call for scrutiny underscores broader apprehensions regarding the unprecedented convergence of money and influence in the tech industry.
As calls for investigation mount, Max von Thun of the Open Markets Institute emphasizes the urgency of assessing the partnership's implications. The perceived discrepancy between Mistral's advocacy as a "European champion" and its alignment with Microsoft's interests underscores the need for regulatory vigilance in safeguarding fair competition and innovation.
In response to inquiries, both Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) and Mistral AI have declined to comment, while the French government remains silent on the matter. With stakeholders clamoring for transparency and accountability, the EU faces mounting pressure to address concerns over tech giant influence and ensure a level playing field for all players in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Microsoft (MSFT) Short Term Support AreaCycle from 12.4.2023 low ended with wave (1) at 421.33 as the 30 minutes chart below shows. The stock then is pulling back in wave (2) with internal subdivision as a double three. Down from wave (1), wave ((a)) ended at 408.84 and wave ((b)) ended at 416.1. Wave ((c)) lower ended at 403.39 which completed wave W in higher degree. Up from there, wave ((a)) ended at 410.07 and wave ((b)) ended at 404.57. Wave ((c)) higher ended at 412 which completed wave X. The stock then resumed lower in wave Y.
Down from wave X, wave ((a)) ended at 403.53 and wave ((b)) ended at 407.45. Wave ((c)) lower ended at 397.23 which completed wave Y of (2). The stock has turned higher in wave (3), but it still needs to break above wave (1) at 421.33 to rule out a double correction. Up from wave (2), wave ((i)) ended at 400.71 and wave ((ii)) ended at 397.56. Wave ((iii)) higher ended at 412.83 and wave ((iv)) ended at 408.64. Wave ((v)) ended at 415.86 which completed wave 1 in higher degree. Down from wave 1, wave ((a)) ended at 408.97 and wave ((b)) ended at 412.16. Expect wave ((c)) lower to reach 400.9 – 405.2 before it completes wave 2 and turns higher. Near term, as far as pivot at 397.23 low stays intact, expect pullback to find support in 3, 7, 11 swing for more upside.

$MSFT Short idea NASDAQ:MSFT is showing bearish divergence on the RSI on the daily timeframe. We also see that price action has started to consolidate and the shorter term moving averages starting to curl. The $400 whole number would be a good entry to take MSFT short.
Short under $400 on MSFT.
MSFT - Head & Shoulders PatternMSFT - there's a well defined HS pattern here with a gap from NVDA ER. Gaps usually fill because lack of volume at the price range, but this isn't the case with MSFT. Above the shoulder line @145.50 will nullify the HS pattern and below the 400 will confirm the pattern. With the way the market has been moving I wouldn't be surprised if the pattern becomes voided.

Microsoft Replicating 1987 SPX ChartSince Microsoft bought ChatGPT back in March 2023, the price of NASDAQ:MSFT stock has gone on to replicate the same pattern as the 1987 S&P500 stock market rally.
Does it mean anything all by itself? No. It still needs a catalyst for the drop to happen. The 1987 stock market crash had many triggers and catalysts and the drop was a sharp 40% from August 28th, 1987 to October 19th 1987.
What would cause a sharp 40% drop in NASDAQ:MSFT ? You all could type in your guess in a reply to this chart. It could come about under a variety of situations, but it would take an act of Government regulation or a major sea-change in laws or the business environment.
When you see people posting "overlays" of the market to past debacles, you will find almost NONE of them work.
Last year in January I posted a pattern where NASDAQ:TSLA was mimicking the fundamental and technical price pattern that NYSE:MCD McDonalds had from over a decade ago when it fell 75% on a rough patch for its business. It turned out to be identical and NASDAQ:TSLA rallied over 150% last year just exactly the same as happened to $MCD. I'll post the link down below for you to view.
The overlay here between NASDAQ:MSFT and the 1987 SP:SPX is pretty amazing but we have no catalysts to make it drop. Stay tuned on any weakness and look for cheap hedges (long term puts out to July-Oct-Dec for this year). Don't spend more than 1% of an account to hedge a position, but if you hedge it correctly you can protect against a large decline without much cost to a portfolio.
Here's hoping this pattern doesn't 'pan-out' because it would be or could be very disruptive to the markets.
Wishing you all health and success in the markets this year and thanks to TradingView for all of the great tools for doing research!
Cheers,

Who's left to buy? And if so for how much longer?As stated in my previous idea I'm of the belief big tech is close to topping out, When I view these charts I can see cases for all to be nearing a top (yes they can go higher) but It won't matter much if the overall trend is close to terminating. Ask yourself logically who is actually left to buy here and happy about it? and if so how much longer can they do it for?, The potential downside risk on all of these trumps the short term gains you might make.
MSFT is over bought base on strategy.I am shorting this stock because of some reasons, i am an ICT concept trader, and using his concept we have a clean Bearish Breaker, so, i waiting for a retirement into the premium , and enter a position with decent 1:3 RR
Microsoft Corp. Major Crash After 4,648 Of Bullish Action After almost 13 years of bullish action, Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) is about to enter wave c of a major ABC correction.
The RSI peaked Feb. 2020. (A multiple years long bearish divergence.)
Wave b hits a higher high compared to the start of wave a due to the side-effects of monetary expansion.
Since monetary expansion was strong in the year 2020/21, this translates on the chart as an irregular correction; here a long-term one. (Or we could say "erratic market behaviour;" the side-effects of too much money printing.)
Will money flow from traditional markets toward Cryptocurrency?
I've seen several charts pointing to a very strong bear-market coming for some of the traditional stocks; bigger than what we would normally expect.
I would like to belief that everything will be fine and these stocks will forever grow, but what I am seeing is a massive bearish phase that is specific to major stocks.
I belief Microsoft is going down based on this chart.
Namaste.

$MSFT Realistic pullback targetsNASDAQ:MSFT Realistic pullback targets
I have found that, over the years, anticipating pullback targets from before a pullback starts can help you keep your cool once it does start. Being able to see realistic pullback targets is a superpower.
If you are an ultra-long-term investor, any of these targets would be a great place to add on the way down…
And if you’re a trader then these will undoubtedly be levels where there may be more volatility and interest.
So in the latest rally, the supports for that are the red dotted lines (the 35EMA weekly and daily) and if they break there are some juicy targets to keep on your radar.
The Sky's the Limit for MicrosoftNASDAQ:MSFT Microsoft (MSFT) Has been consolidating for the past month and has broken through to the upside. Anticipate this bullish momentum to bring new all time highs for the tech titan!
Let's dive into the key factors that make Microsoft a compelling investment opportunity.
Cloud Services: Microsoft Azure is a leading cloud platform, competing head-to-head with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud. As more businesses move their operations to the cloud, Microsoft is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend. The company's cloud services are expected to drive substantial revenue growth in the future.
Artificial Intelligence: Microsoft has been making significant investments in AI, with its AI-powered products like Cortana, Bing, and Office 365. The company's recent acquisition of Nuance Communications further strengthens its position in the AI space. The potential for AI to revolutionize various industries makes Microsoft's focus on this area a key growth driver.
Gaming and Entertainment: Microsoft's Xbox gaming console and Game Pass subscription service have been gaining popularity among gamers. The company's acquisition of ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda Softworks, further bolsters its gaming portfolio. As the gaming industry continues to expand, Microsoft is well-positioned to benefit from this growth.
Strong Financials: Microsoft boasts a robust balance sheet with a healthy cash flow and a strong history of dividend growth. The company's financial strength provides a solid foundation for future growth and allows it to invest in new technologies and acquisitions.
Valuation: While Microsoft's stock price has experienced a significant run-up in recent months, many analysts believe that there is still room for growth. The company's strong fundamentals and growth prospects make it an attractive investment opportunity, even at current valuation levels.

Microsoft - It's That SimpleHello Traders, welcome to today's analysis of Microsoft.
--------
Explanation of my video analysis:
In 2019 Microsoft stock started creating a major bullish trendline which was tested again in 2020 and also the beginning of 2023. Furthermore Microsoft also broke out of a massive ascending triangle formation and is now just looking extremely bullish. If Microsoft retest the previous breakout area mentioned in the analysis, we will be looking for long continuation setups.

I will only take a trade if all the rules of my strategy are satisfied.

MSFT to $395Overview
Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) appears to be within an ascending channel and has reached the resistance line that coincides with the peak of an impulse wave (Wave 3). Utilizing the impulse waves within the channel, a price target of $395 seems probable and may provide a decent Puts trade. If the ascending channel provides textbook formation then a low of $365 is also possible, however, volume and selling pressure should be carefully watched around the $395 price level as steeper declines will require more validation.
The following technical indicators give me confidence that significant selling pressure will soon occur:
Volume -- except for a single outlier in December -- has been steadily decreasing since the channel developed.
On-Balance Volume appears to have reached a ceiling that will need to be carefully watched in the event of a breakout.
Relative Strength Index shows an RSI (green) retreating from the overbought zone. While it is experiencing a slight uptick back to the MA (red), there is still plenty of room until the indicators approach oversold or for the RSI to cross from beneath.
Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has just crossed its signal line (red) from above and is nosediving downward. In addition, it is showing a divergence as the peaks of the MACD are inverted from the peaks of MSFT's share price.
