Microsoft (MSFT) Shares Decline Despite Strong Earnings ReportMicrosoft (MSFT) Shares Decline Despite Strong Earnings Report On 9 October, our analysis of Microsoft (MSFT) suggested that the stock price: → Was forming an ascending channel (shown in blue on the chart); → Could see a rebound from its lower boundary (indicated by an arrow). Since then, the price indeed moved upward from this support around the $411 level, even surpassing $437. However, following Microsoft’s Q3 earnings report released post-market yesterday, the share price faced heightened volatility. In the Q3 report: → Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $3.30, exceeding the expected $3.10; → Gross revenue was $65.58 billion, also above the forecasted $64.57 billion. Despite these positive figures, MSFT shares saw a decline due to high volatility during after-hours trading, reaching $444 at one point and then falling to around $410. This drop may be due to Microsoft’s rising expenses. As reported by The Wall Street Journal, Microsoft’s capital expenditures in 2024 have hit $53 billion (about 28% of revenue), a substantial increase from the 12% average of revenue allocated to capital costs between 2014 and 2023. As of pre-market trading today, MSFT is trading around $417 (approximately -4% from yesterday’s close), likely setting the opening level for today’s main session. Today’s technical analysis of MSFT suggests that the opening may see a bearish gap, potentially pushing MSFT’s price toward the lower boundary of the ascending blue channel, where a new consensus between buyers and sellers could emerge. This sets up two scenarios: → Bulls may see an opportunity for another rebound; → Bears could aim for a breakdown of this key support level, with potential testing of the psychological $400 level. Analyst sentiment remains positive. According to TipRanks surveys: → 27 out of 30 analysts recommend buying MSFT shares; → The average 12-month target price for MSFT is $503.

Microsoft (MSFT): Can Earnings Sustain the Trend Channel?With Microsoft set to report earnings, investors are keenly watching updates on AI-related spending, especially growth within Azure and Copilot, as well as broader financials. A significant focus will be on capital expenditures (Capex) for generative AI initiatives, expected to rise from $9.92 billion a year ago to an estimated $14.74 billion in this recent quarter. Beyond revenue and earnings, the market is waiting to see how these hefty investments are shaping the company’s growth trajectory. Technically, NASDAQ:MSFT continues to test the lower bound of its trend channel—a level that may weaken with repeated retests. The stock’s reaction to earnings will reveal if this support can hold. The formation suggests a potential head and shoulders pattern, particularly if NASDAQ:MSFT dips below the neckline support at $388 with declining volume. For now, we’re maintaining our cautious outlook. If Microsoft fails to hold its key support levels, it may confirm the bearish trend we’ve been observing. As always, we’ll provide updates if any significant developments occur after the earnings report.

Bullish on MSFT see which side it chooses on earnings!I spy a double bottom on the weekly. If MSFT can break above the neckline of this double bottom around 441, we can take it up to 468 (it’s previous ATH). I would expect a pull back or some basing here, but then see potential to create new high after. MSFT is currently holding above its downtrend line formed from July and September peaks. If it breaks down: I not looking to trade this to the downside unless it breaks the recent uptrend line around 415 - 420. Even so, I wouldn't expect a significant or long term decline. I personally would wait for the move up.

MSFT Technical Analysis for Oct. 28, 2024Trend and Price Action: MSFT has seen a mix of upward and downward movements, with price consolidating near resistance levels. The trendline suggests some recent selling pressure as MSFT has started to pull back from its highs around $432.52. Support and Resistance Levels: Resistance: Key resistance is around $432.52, where MSFT may face selling pressure. A strong breakout above this could signal further upside, potentially targeting $435. Support: Immediate support is around $427.70, and stronger support lies near $424.22 and $422.39. These levels could serve as buying zones if MSFT retraces. MACD Indicator: The MACD is currently showing a slight bearish tendency. If this continues, it may signal short-term downward pressure, aligning with the recent resistance level rejection. Volume: Volume appears moderate, indicating consolidation. If volume increases on a downward move, it could signal stronger selling pressure. Suggested Strategy Bullish Scenario: If MSFT breaks above $432.52 with volume, consider entering long, targeting $435, with stops below $430 for risk control.

MSFTMSFT broke up the daily trendline which was formed through the tops of the 5th July and the 19th September, but bulls did not manage to close above it this Friday. On the daily charts 100 EMA is above 200 EMA, as it is the same on the 30 mins TF, where the price fluctuates in the uptrend channel. Daily lower trendline is confirmed by third rejection and price going up from the support on the 16th October. With the upcoming earnings report I expect some volatility and potential buy setup forming near the 30 min channel support and daily trendline support in the price region of 415.70-418.70. I am ready to open long position at or around 417.90, with SL below daily trendline (but not below 412.75) with potential partial TP at the top of 30 min channel close to 435 and then at 442. If on daily TF MSFT closes above 443, that would signal potential rapid movement up and testing highs of 470, but I don't expect this to happen too soon.

Microsoft AI targeting $456 as Innovation Drives GrowthI made the post again because I didn't like how the chart looked. Microsoft is gaining bullish momentum, with a gap forming around the $422 level. A breakout above the $441.85 resistance would confirm further upward movement, setting the stage for the stock to test the $468 weekly resistance. With a solid 5.05 risk-to-reward ratio, this setup offers a compelling opportunity for traders, while managing risk with a stop-loss at $416. Microsoft’s fundamentals continue to support its growth. Its dominant position in cloud computing through Azure, expansion in artificial intelligence with Copilot, and strong performance in enterprise software have solidified its role as a market leader. As demand for AI and cloud services grows, Microsoft’s diversified revenue streams position it well for sustained upside. With technical and fundamental strength behind it, MSFT appears primed to reach the $456 level and beyond in the near term. NASDAQ:MSFT

MSFT long @ 417.13 for a quick bumpIt's oversold (according to my algo so please don't waste your time with telling me it's nowhere near oversold). It's in what I'd call a consolidation phase after more than doubling in the last 22 months. Unless there is a total macro meltdown, I don't see it having any good reason to (at worst) fall below the August 395 level and to do so would require to to breach the blue trend line as well as support from the early September low. I just don't see that happening soon. That said, I'm a short term trader and with it being oversold, Im looking for a quick move higher in the next few days. Nothing amazing, I don't think, but enough to make me a quick buck or two. Maybe testing that upper blue resistance line. Longer term, I'd give MSFT "core holding" status alongside NVDA as a major player in AI. NVDA from the hardware side, but MSFT in what I think will turn out to be the more lucrative side - applications. MSFT has a nearly endless number of potential applications for AI and are investing heavily in it, for both themselves and to provide services for customers down the road. I'd get bearish if it broke down below 395, but if that happens, I really think there will be nowhere to hide in the market. Obviously if it breaks the upper blue resistance line, I see 465-470 ATH as its next test. I think short term it tests the blue support trend line and bounces. That's what I'm here for.

HIGH TIME FRAME STRATEGY. Use linear regression candles with support & resistance. (BUY/SELL indicator on Linear Regression lags cross of CCI 100 to downside and CCI -100 cross to upside as entering and exiting signal.) Set SLO STOCHASTIC LINE AT 94 and 6. Set CCI LINE AT 100 and -100. (Default) CHOOSE A STOCK AFTER REVIEWING FUNDAMENTALS AND READING A FEW ANALYSTS REVIEWS. START WITH MONTHLY TIME FRAME USING SLO STOCHASTIC. THEN WORK YOUR WAY DOWN TO LOWER TIME FRAME OF YOUR CHOOSING ALSO USING SLO STOCHASTIC. SELECT YOUR TIME FRAME USING SLO STOCHASTIC FOR YOUR POSITION TIMING. SLO STOCHASTIC UNDER 6 OR OVER 94. SLO STOCASTIC IS VERY IMPORTANT 1) USE SLO stochastic with over 94 as overbought and under 6 as oversold lines. Slo stochastics is great at picking TOPS AND BOTTOMS. 2) After 1) you can enter trade using cross of CCI -100 to upside (long) or cross of CCI 100 to downside (short). 3) For confidence in your position you can use RVI and ZERO lag MACD. 4) Use RSI stochastic oscillator with divergences while in trade. The 50 line will confirm whether trend is getting stronger or weaker. GOOD LUCK !
