Microsoft $MSFT finally reached the strong monthly demand $396Microsoft NASDAQ:MSFT stock has finally reached the strong monthly demand $396. We talked about this imbalance a few weeks ago in another analysis after seeing the dark cloud cover bearish piercing pattern in the monthly timeframe.
It took a few months half a year to pull back to this imbalance. Hopefully Microsoft stock will start to rally from this imbalance the same way Meta Platforms did.
Microsoft | MSFT | Long at $421.50Technical Analysis
Microsoft's NASDAQ:MSFT stock price entered its historical simple moving average area last week. This regression to the mean for high-growth companies with forward momentum is often, but not always, an area of support (currently between $407 and $435). I suspect ongoing near-term weakness may occur given market conditions, though. A continued dip into the $390's or even $360's may occur to really put the fright in investors, but I can't see it going much lower than that in the near-term unless market conditions or company fundamentals chnage. My longer-term hypothesis here is that given its AI / market cap dominance, the price will inevitably replicate that of Google NASDAQ:GOOGL (dip then skyrocket). In fact, I hope it dips to the $300's so I can accumulate a significant stake. But for now, a starter position exists at $421.50 - right at the historical mean.
Growth
Earnings-per-share anticipated to increase by 63.5% between 2026 ($16.37) and 2029 ($26.76).
Revenue anticipated to increase by 59.6% between 2026 ($327 billion) and 2029 ($522 billion).
Health
Debt-to-equity: 0.3x (very healthy)
Quick ratio / short-term debt: 1.4 (can successfully pay today's bills)
Altman's Z score / bankruptcy risk: 9+ (extremely low risk)
Dividend: 0.85%
P/E: 27x (broader software industry median ~24.65x)
Action
While short-term weakness is likely to enable large institutions to build greater positions, the long-term outlook is extremely bullish. Any dip below $400 is a continued personal buying opportunity, but for now, a starter position exists at $421.50.

Microsoft (MSFT) shares fall below $460Microsoft (MSFT) shares fall below $460
As the Microsoft (MSFT) share chart shows:
→ yesterday’s candle closed below $460 — the lowest level since early June last year;
→ the decline from the all-time high near $550 has exceeded 16%.
Why MSFT shares are falling
The downward move may reflect a shift in market sentiment from AI-driven euphoria to a more sober reassessment of the actual returns on investment. Investors are locking in profits amid concerns that the company’s current infrastructure spending may not pay off in the near term.
Concerns have been reinforced by media reports of:
→ disappointing sales momentum for its AI products (Microsoft 365 Copilot);
→ intensifying competition, including from Google Gemini and Amazon AWS;
→ rising capital expenditure (forecast at more than $80bn per year).
Technical analysis of Microsoft (MSFT) shares
From a long-term perspective, the share price continues to move within a key ascending channel. In this context:
→ the lower boundary acted as support in April 2025;
→ the upper boundary has served as resistance. The orange arrows highlight aggressive selling pressure whenever the price moves beyond it. The black arrow points to rising volumes during the price decline in early November — a bearish signal following overbought conditions;
→ the QH line, which divides the upper half of the channel into two parts, has switched from support to resistance near the psychological $500 level;
→ the current price has fallen towards the channel’s median, where supply and demand typically come into balance (marked by the blue arrow).
In light of the above, it is reasonable to assume that the market may find an equilibrium that could persist until 28 January, when the quarterly earnings report is scheduled for release.

Microsoft: Back in the Target Zone!Microsoft’s stock has slid back, settling again within our green Target Zone between $477.87 and $451.84. We anticipate an imminent upward movement as part of the magenta wave (5), which is expected to push price beyond the resistance at $562.17. Just above this level, the large blue wave (I) is likely to complete before a significant correction begins. There’s also a 38% chance of additional selling pressure below the support at $392.97. In this case, the high of $562.17 would align with the beige wave alt.III , while the low of wave alt.IV would form below $392.97.

MSFT Market Blueprint: From Pullback to Profit Zone💼 Asset: Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) — NASDAQ
Type: Swing Trade Setup
Bias: Bullish Pullback Play
🔍 Plan Overview
MSFT is showing a clean bullish pullback confirmation with the Hull Moving Average acting as dynamic support. A Heikin Ashi reversal doji candle has appeared — a strong hint that buyers are gaining control again 🟢.
Momentum looks ready to shift back to the upside as the pullback finds its footing. The plan focuses on catching this move with layered entries (a.k.a. “Thief Strategy” style).
⚙️ Entry Plan (Layered “Thief” Style Method)
This approach uses multiple limit orders to build a strong position during pullbacks. You can add or adjust based on your own risk appetite.
📍 Layered Entry Points:
🟩 520.00 — first buy zone (initial position)
🟩 530.00 — second layer (confirmation add-on)
🟩 540.00 — third layer (momentum add)
💡 Tip: You can increase or decrease the number of layers depending on volatility or confidence in trend continuation.
🔒 Stop Loss (SL)
🛑 Thief OG’s SL idea: 510.00

🎯 Target zone: 580.00
The “Police Force” (strong resistance zone) is waiting up there — where the market could become overbought or trap late buyers. That’s where we take our profit and vanish with gains like pros 😎.
Note: Dear Ladies & Gentlemen (Thief OG’s), again — you can set your own TP. This level is my personal exit zone for safety and profit lock.

Microsoft: Target Zone Hit!Microsoft has reached our green Long Target Zone between $451.84 and $477.87 as anticipated. In the meantime, the stock has successfully completed the magenta wave (4) and has since broken out of the Target Zone to the upside. We now expect further gains as wave (5) unfolds, targeting a move above the resistance at $562.17, where the larger blue wave (I) is expected to conclude. After that, we anticipate a pronounced correction phase. However, there remains a 38% chance that MSFT could break down through the Target Zone and fall below the support at $392.97. In this case, we would reclassify the last significant high at $562.17 as the top of the beige wave alt.III and prepare for a new low in wave alt.IV .
Microsoft: Stuck in Sideways PatternMicrosoft shares have continued to show weakness recently, although the stock has shifted into more of a sideways pattern. In the near term, we anticipate another downward move, which should establish the low for wave (4) in magenta within our green Target Zone between $477.87 and $451.84. From our perspective, this range remains attractive for long entries, as we expect a new upward impulse to follow as part of magenta wave (5). This move should push the stock above resistance at $562.17 and complete the larger blue wave (I). Alternatively, there is a scenario in which the high at $562.17 marks the end of beige wave alt.III (probability: 36%). In that case, we would expect a substantial decline below support at $392.97, where the low of wave alt.IV would be found.
Microsoft - This bullrun will end soon!💊Microsoft ( NASDAQ:MSFT ) might reverse soon:
🔎Analysis summary:
Microsoft created a textbook bullish break and retest back in the beginning of 2025. After this retest, we then witnessed a major rally of about +50% over the past couple of months. But considering the recent weakneses and resistance, this rally might be over very soon.

Microsoft Corp.($MSFT) Pullback Forms as AI Momentum Face Test Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: NASDAQ:MSFT ) stock slipped 0.34% to $495.43 on Thursday, extending its recent decline from October highs near $555. The retreat reflects broader consolidation in large-cap tech after months of AI-driven gains, with investors reassessing valuations ahead of the company’s next earnings release expected in late January 2026.
The pullback comes as Microsoft’s AI ecosystem continues to evolve rapidly. The company has integrated OpenAI-powered tools across its product lineup, including Microsoft 365, Azure, and GitHub, solidifying its leadership in enterprise AI solutions. However, concerns over slowing cloud revenue growth and competition from Amazon and Google have sparked short-term caution among traders.
Microsoft’s Intelligent Cloud segment remains a core growth driver, generating over $26 billion last quarter. Yet analysts have warned that enterprise clients may delay large-scale AI spending as they evaluate efficiency gains from early deployments. That has prompted expectations for slightly softer Azure revenue growth in the coming quarters.
From a technical perspective, the MSFT chart indicates a potential corrective phase after a strong two-year rally. The price has retreated from resistance around $555, with the next significant support seen near $460, a level that previously acted as a breakout zone. The projected yellow path on the chart suggests a possible retest of that support before a renewed advance toward $580.
Overall, Microsoft’s long-term trend remains bullish, driven by its expanding AI infrastructure, consistent cash flow, and dominant software ecosystem. However, near-term volatility could persist as the market digests regulatory updates and adjusts to a more moderate growth outlook in the AI sector.

Microsoft: Wave (3) Complete – Wave (4) Pullback in ProgressAs Microsoft has reached a pronounced peak, followed by a notable move to the downside, er now consider wave (3) finished. Thus, we see price currently in the corrective phase of wave (4), which still has some immediate downside potential but should hold above support at $454. The subsequent wave (5) is expected to mark the high of the broader blue wave (I). At this point, we assign a 36% probability to the scenario where wave alt.(3) makes a higher high above the new resistance at $562.17.
Microsoft Soars to Record High Following Strong Earnings ReportMicrosoft Stock (MSFT) Soars to Record High Following Strong Earnings Report
As the chart illustrates, Microsoft (MSFT) shares surged sharply after the close of the regular trading session – an immediate market reaction to the company’s strong quarterly results.
According to available data, MSFT's post-market price jumped to $555 per share, exceeding its previous all-time high by more than 8%.
Why Did MSFT Share Price Rise?
The quarterly report provided several reasons for optimism, including:
→ Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $3.65, beating analysts’ expectations of $3.37 by over 8%. Revenue also exceeded forecasts, totalling $76.4 billion versus the projected $73.9 billion.
→ Microsoft’s cloud revenue rose by 27% to $46.7 billion, while Azure’s annualised revenue exceeded $75 billion, driven by growing demand for AI-related services.
In response to these results, Barclays analysts quickly raised their price target for Microsoft shares from $550 to $625.
Technical Analysis of MSFT Chart
It is worth noting that the previous quarterly report was also strong, resulting in the formation of a large bullish gap on 1 May, followed by a sustained upward trend (highlighted by the purple trendline S). Importantly, the gap in the $395–425 range remains unfilled.
Yesterday’s report is also likely to result in a large bullish gap at the market open today, though this time, the market context could lead to a different scenario.
The key factor here is the long-term ascending channel (shown in blue), which reflects MSFT’s price movements throughout 2024–2025. After the previous strong report, the share price moved from the median to the upper boundary of the channel without setting a new record high. However, following the most recent report, the price has surged deep into overbought territory, potentially setting a multi-month high on the RSI and achieving a significant breakout to a new record.
As a result, once the initial excitement around the earnings subsides – and the desire of investors to close long positions intensifies – MSFT could undergo a correction from the upper boundary of the channel. In this scenario, the following support levels could come into play:
→ The psychological level of $550 in the short term;
→ The S trendline, as a possible support during a deeper correction.

Nvidia Overtakes Apple as 2nd-Biggest Company. Microsoft Next?Well, well, well — if it isn’t the GPU-maker-turned-global-tech-Goliath lapping the iPhone factory on the market cap leaderboard . Again.
Nvidia NASDAQ:NVDA has officially snatched the second-largest company title from Apple NASDAQ:AAPL , bringing its market cap north of $3.3 trillion, while Apple sat there like a vintage iPod on shuffle at $3.17 trillion — playing the same valuation tune for days.
So, what’s powering this meteoric rise? It’s not just graphics cards for gamers — that’s 2015. And it’s not graphics cards for Big Tech — that’s 2024. It’s graphics cards paid for by Middle Eastern oil money.
😎 Saudi Chips: Not the Potato Kind
Here’s the scoop: Saudi Arabia and the UAE are ready to shell out billions to become AI superpowers. And who’s their go-to guy? Nvidia, of course.
CEO Jensen Huang, who was in Riyadh this week, announced that Nvidia will supply “several hundred thousand” of its most advanced processors to Humain, a state-backed Saudi firm tasked with building AI infrastructure across the desert kingdom. That includes 18,000 units of Nvidia’s cutting-edge GB300 Grace Blackwell chips — the stuff data scientists dream about.
Nvidia calls this initiative “sovereign AI” — governments building and running their own AI on national infrastructure. Think of it as building data sandcastles, except the sand is made of petrodollars and server farms.
The geopolitical context? President Trump’s Middle East tour is clearing regulatory roadblocks, scrapping AI export restrictions drawn up under Biden, and opening the region to top-shelf American tech.
And Wall Street is paying attention.
💪 Trump Dumps Diffusion Rule, Nvidia Pumps
One of the major tailwinds for Nvidia’s latest rally came in the form of a policy reversal. The Biden-era “AI Diffusion Rule,” which aimed to restrict exports of advanced chips, has now been tossed by the Trump administration.
According to the Bureau of Industry & Security, the rule would have “undermined US innovation” and strained diplomatic relations. Translation? Nvidia was about to have its international wings clipped — but now it's free to fly across the Persian Gulf with pallets of GB300s.
The rule reversal instantly boosts Nvidia’s global reach — and opens the floodgates for billions in international chip demand. Naturally, the stock responded positively, climbing 5.4% on Monday, 5.6% on Tuesday, and 4.1% on Wednesday.
🚂 Not Just a Hype Train (But Bring Snacks Anyway)
Nvidia’s rally isn’t just FOMO (but there is some froth every now and then ).
It’s backed by earnings, expansion, and actual demand. Every major AI player — from startups to sovereign nations — needs Nvidia chips. And there’s no clear rival. AMD NASDAQ:AMD is a step behind. Intel NASDAQ:INTC is still trying to remember how to make people excited again.
But at these levels, expectations are sky-high. Even a great quarter that’s not utterly perfect could trigger some profit-taking. After all, trees don’t grow to the sky — but apparently semiconductors are expected to .
👀 Eyes on Microsoft, But Timing Is Key
So what’s next? Can Nvidia dethrone Microsoft NASDAQ:MSFT , currently valued at just about $60 billion more, and become the biggest company in the world?
Easily, especially if Huang’s tech juggernaut keeps this pace and posts another monster earnings beat. Nvidia reports on May 28, and you can bet every institutional desk, Reddit thread, and our very own TradingView community will be glued to their multi-screen setups to get those numbers.
Microsoft still sits at the top with a $3.36 trillion valuation — within striking distance. All it would take is another ~1.8% pop for Nvidia and a sleepy session for Microsoft.
But be warned: Wall Street loves a Cinderella story until the glass slipper misses earnings by two cents.
🧐 Final Thoughts: Watch Out Everyone
Apple may have Siri. But Nvidia has the chips to build a thousand Siris — and a few Skynets while we're at it.
Whether it can overtake Microsoft depends on the next earnings report (or the lead-up hype).
So the question isn’t “Will Nvidia stay #2?” It’s: How long until it’s #1 — and what could possibly stop it?
And if you’ve got it on your watchlist, circle May 28 in red marker and don’t forget to pay attention to the earnings calendar .
Because that earnings print might just rewrite the leaderboard again.
Your move : Are you riding NASDAQ:NVDA to the top? Waiting for a pullback? Or nervously watching from the sidelines with popcorn and regret? Hit the comments with your play.
Microsoft: Progress!Microsoft successfully completed the magenta wave (2) and made further progress during the subsequent wave (3). Imminently, this wave (3) has some more room to rise, and after a temporary pullback in the following wave (4), the price should eventually overcome the resistance at $456.16. On the other hand, our 31% likely alternative scenario envisions a new low for the green wave alt. and would include a detour below the support at $348.18. Primarily, we consider the regular wave as already completed (in our previous Target Zone).
Microsoft (MSFT) Becomes the World’s Most Valuable CompanyMicrosoft (MSFT) Becomes the World’s Most Valuable Company
According to financial data, Microsoft’s market capitalisation currently stands at approximately $3.24 trillion, while the valuations of Apple and Nvidia — second and third on the list respectively — remain below $3 trillion.
This follows a sharp surge in Microsoft’s share price (MSFT), which has risen by over 26% from its April low.
Why has Microsoft’s share price risen?
The main driver behind the MSFT stock rally was last week’s quarterly report, which outperformed analysts’ expectations:
→ Earnings per share: actual = $3.46, forecast = $3.22;
→ Revenue: actual = $70 billion, forecast = $68.4 billion.
As reported in the media, investors responded positively to a notable increase in revenue from Azure cloud services.
Technical Analysis of Microsoft (MSFT) Shares
A wide bullish gap — over 7% — pushed the price above a key support line that had underpinned the 2024 uptrend in Microsoft stock.
However, following the report’s release, the price stabilised just below a resistance line drawn through previous key highs.
This provides grounds to interpret the current setup as a symmetrical triangle pattern with an axis around the $427 mark, suggesting short-term price consolidation within the defined boundaries.
Going forward, further key news related to Microsoft — a company less exposed to trade war impacts than Apple — could:
→ help maintain its status as the world’s most valuable firm;
→ support a potential bullish breakout through the resistance line and a continuation of the 2024 uptrend.

Microsoft (MSFT) Share Price Jumps Nearly 9% – What’s Next?Microsoft (MSFT) Share Price Jumps Nearly 9% – What’s Next?
As the chart shows, Microsoft (MSFT) shares surged sharply, forming a large bullish gap: while trading closed around $391 on 30 April, yesterday’s candlestick closed just below the $425 mark.
What Drove the Rally in Microsoft Shares?
Microsoft released its financial results for the first quarter of 2025, exceeding Wall Street expectations on both revenue (actual = $70.1 billion, 2.4% above forecasts) and earnings per share (actual = $3.46, 7.4% above forecasts).
Particular attention was drawn to the strong performance of Azure – revenue from Azure and other cloud services soared by 33% year-on-year. A significant part of this growth was fuelled by robust demand for artificial intelligence services, which helps ease concerns about the return on large-scale infrastructure investments related to AI.
In addition, Microsoft issued an upbeat outlook for the next quarter, which ultimately triggered the sharp rise in its share price.
Technical Analysis of MSFT Chart
Yesterday’s candlestick closed near its low (highlighted by the arrow), indicating that bears were active during the trading session. From a technical analysis perspective, this can be explained by the proximity of the price to two key resistance lines:
1 → The upper boundary of a descending channel drawn from significant price action patterns (marked in red). The relevance of this channel is confirmed by the price’s behaviour near its median line (dashed).
2 → A former trendline that served as support throughout 2024.
Therefore, a short-term correction cannot be ruled out following the sharp rally in MSFT shares, potentially tempering some of the enthusiasm generated by Microsoft’s strong quarterly report.

Microsoft: Progress!The Microsoft stock has now successfully completed wave B in turquoise at $444.95. So, now we locate the price in the subsequent wave C, which is set to finalize the overarching three-part wave in dark green. This suggests further declines, with an ideal low just below $400. Following the low of the overarching wave , Microsoft should initiate a new upward impulse. While there’s a 25% chance that wave alt. in dark green has already hit its low, this alternative scenario will only be confirmed if the stock breaks above $469.55.
