Microsoft - Severely oversold

Long
NASDAQ:MSFT   Microsoft Corp.

The weekly chart is the main reason for my bullish bias. Last week, Microsoft had the earnings call and obviously the results were disappointing. However, the day opened with a huge gap and most of the selling had been done overnight. Price reached an extremely oversold position in a matter of days. This week however, the threatening picture of the previous week failed to spark more weakness. This is a lack of follow through which resembles very much with what happened during the summer in 2014 (circled period).

On the daily chart, I outlined two possible trades, depending on the trading style of each trader. I for one, am more inclined for the wide stop because after such a big fall, price can wiggle up and down for a consolidation and I am not comfortable with a close stop.
