Doing nothing after hours on earnings but conference call not for another hour. How rosy a picture could management paint? This looks really really tired to me. Up almost 10x since 2009. Last correction was 60 down to 15. Expecting this to do something on the downside soon. Not a great chart pattern. Not sure when but RSi divergence and MACD rolling over. ...
As Microsoft still ranging near all-time highs, 1 hour chart shows potential formation of H&S, divergence on indicators. Pre-market price already shows right shoulder forming. If we bounce from he to the downside, then selling is highly probable.
Second short open on the break of the support buy zone.
Good Luck!
MSFT has been a market darling for a while now, and for very good reason. Trading sideways going into the earnings, the chart does show a rising triangle, with price action respecting the upward trend.

Options traders have been buying more calls than puts on Microsoft ahead of earnings, implying that they expect the stock to beat analyst expectations. It's close to the bottom of its recent trading range right now, making it a good buy today for a potential pre-earnings pop as well as a post-earnings bump. Popular strike prices are 140, 142.50, and 145....

Some of the bigger names seem to be traded with a "sell the news" response to earnings. See FB, AAPL, NFLX, for examples. All popped to highs at the open and were sold off for the next day or two, or more. Will we see the same on MSFT? If it does pop to the top, I've got 145 as a first target. If it pushes past 149, there I would take the loss, if I got short....

MSFT is currently not in either sell or buy zone but because if the upcoming event we might have a jump and we have to see if it breaks the resistance ... if it does then we are in a good long position and if hits the resistance then we can sell for the next wave!
