Morgan Stanley ETF Platform Hits $10B as Stock Holds BullishMorgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) continues to strengthen its asset management footprint after its Investment Management division (MSIM) announced that its ETF platform has surpassed $10 billion in assets under management. Launched in 2023, the platform has expanded rapidly from six strategies to 18 ETFs, spanning active fixed income, responsible investing, and derivative income solutions. The milestone highlights growing investor demand for transparent, tax-efficient, and actively managed ETF products, particularly from established global firms. From a fundamental perspective, the growth of MSIM’s ETF platform is strategically important. ETFs provide scalable, recurring fee-based revenue and deepen client relationships across both institutional and retail channels. With Eaton Vance, Calvert, and Parametric strategies under one umbrella, Morgan Stanley is leveraging its broad investment expertise to compete in a fast-growing segment traditionally dominated by passive players. As market volatility persists and investors seek diversified income and hedging solutions, MS’s expanding ETF lineup positions the firm for long-term asset growth and earnings stability. This also complements Morgan Stanley’s broader wealth and investment management strategy, which remains a core earnings driver. Technical Analysis: The chart shows Morgan Stanley in a clear long-term uptrend, with price trading well above its 50-, 100-, and 200-day moving averages. The stock recently pushed to fresh highs near the $180 area before a modest pullback, suggesting profit-taking rather than trend exhaustion. Former resistance around the $145–$150 zone has flipped into a strong support region, aligning with the rising 50-day moving average. Momentum remains constructive, and as long as price holds above this support band, the bullish structure stays intact. A consolidation above support could set the stage for another continuation leg higher, while a deeper pullback toward the 100-day average would still be technically healthy within the broader trend.

Morgan Stanley (NYSE: $MS) Stock Rises Despite €101M FineMorgan Stanley (NYSE: NYSE:MS ) is gaining momentum in the market despite facing a €101 million fine from the Dutch Public Prosecutor’s Office over historical tax practices. The penalty involves dividend tax evasion tied to structured transactions executed between 2007 and 2012. Authorities stated that the bank filed incorrect returns as part of share acquisition strategies around dividend dates. Morgan Stanley accepted responsibility, repaid withheld taxes and interest by the end of 2024, and agreed to the settlement, closing the long-running case. Despite regulatory scrutiny, Morgan Stanley continues expanding its presence in digital assets as major financial institutions deepen their crypto offerings. JPMorgan is preparing to accept Bitcoin and Ether as collateral for institutional loans by year-end, marking a significant shift toward wider blockchain integration in traditional finance. The bank already allows collateralization using crypto-linked ETFs, signaling rising comfort with token-backed financial products. Broad adoption is accelerating as more banks commit to serving the growing digital asset market. Morgan Stanley plans to enable E*Trade clients to access cryptocurrencies next year, strengthening its strategic position as demand increases. Other major institutions—including State Street, BNY Mellon, Fidelity, and BlackRock—remain active through custody services, tokenization initiatives, and ETF support. Increasing regulatory clarity in the U.S. has encouraged firms to expand beyond basic crypto custody and move toward trading, advisory, and collateral services. While the sector continues facing compliance challenges, investor appetite for blockchain-linked products is rising. Morgan Stanley’s stock has maintained positive momentum as investors look beyond penalties and focus on its growing role in digital finance. Technical Outlook The stock maintains an overall bullish structure, having broken above a key horizontal resistance at $141, which now acts as support. If price retraces, $141 remains the critical level to watch.

Earnings Season Kicks Off with Strong Bank ResultsEarnings Season Kicks Off with Strong Bank Results On 3 October, we noted growing optimism in equity markets ahead of the corporate earnings season. That sentiment was validated yesterday as several major banks reported results that exceeded analysts’ expectations, helping the S&P 500 index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) rebound from last Friday’s sell-off. Morgan Stanley (MS) led the rally, with its shares hitting a new all-time high above $166 following a robust quarterly report: → Revenue surged to a record $18.2 billion, up 18% year-on-year. → Earnings per share (EPS): actual $2.80, vs forecast $2.10. Technical Analysis of Morgan Stanley (MS) Price action in MS shares allows for the construction of an upward channel (shown in blue) that has been forming since the summer. → Yesterday, a wide bullish gap appeared on the chart. → The price advanced into the upper half of the channel, breaking above the $160 psychological level. From a bullish perspective: → The breakout from a bullish flag pattern supports the scenario of a resumed uptrend within the channel. → The channel median, reinforced by the $160 support, could serve as a key level going forward. However, there are several bearish signals to note: → Intraday price swings formed a wide up-and-down movement, resembling a bearish engulfing pattern that could develop further in today’s session. → The brief and shallow breakout above the previous high suggests a bull trap. The RSI indicator also shows signs of bearish divergence, implying that: → The recent surge in MS shares may have prompted some long holders to lock in profits near record highs. → Despite strong fundamentals supporting long-term growth, the stock could be vulnerable to a short-term correction, potentially towards the bullish gap area.

Pullback in Morgan StanleyMorgan Stanley recently hit a new high, and now it’s pulled back. The first pattern on today’s chart is the advance between September 5 and September 23. MS retraced half that move before bouncing, which may confirm its direction remains to the upside. Second, prices held the rising 21-day exponential moving average (EMA). The 8-day EMA has also stayed above the 21-day EMA. Those signals may be consistent with an uptrend. Third, Wilder’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) peaked above 76 before dipping toward 50. That may suggest the financial stock worked off an overbought condition and has returned to areas where dip-buyers may feel more comfortable. Finally, some traders may view the recent pullback as a completed ABC correction, with the potential for the longer-term uptrend to resume.

Morgan Stanley, can we follow up on great earnings call?Hi guys, we are next looking into Morgan Stanley. Currently they had a fantastic 2024 , with great growth and great beat over their earnings calls. Fundamental overview : Morgan Stanley has adopted a bullish stance on U.S. equities, forecasting the S&P 500 to potentially reach 7,400 by 2025. This optimism is based on anticipated solid earnings growth and accommodative monetary policy, which could enhance the firm's equity trading and investment advisory revenues. Increased Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) Activity The return of Donald Trump to the White House is expected to stimulate a surge in M&A activity, driven by lower borrowing costs and deregulation. Morgan Stanley predicts a 50% increase in M&A deals in 2025 compared to the previous year, which would significantly boost its advisory and underwriting services. In fixed income, Morgan Stanley identifies securitized credit, particularly U.S. mortgage-backed securities (MBS), as a promising area. The firm believes that moderating monetary policy, coupled with strong consumer and corporate balance sheets, will create favorable conditions for this sector, potentially enhancing its fixed income revenues. Technical Overview : Currently we have surpassed a strong resistance line which has been upgraded to a supprot line because of the strong growth at 2024. Currently this Ascending channel should take us to a 2x price level from 83 level to 166 level. Entry: 127 Target : 166 As always my friends happy trading! P.S.

Morgan Stanley Wave Analysis – 30 January 2025 - Morgan Stanley is rising inside impulse wave iv - Likely to rise to the resistance level of 145.00 Morgan Stanley continues to rise inside the minor impulse wave iv, which started earlier from the key support level of 135.00 (the former monthly high from November), acting as support after it was broken earlier. The active impulse wave iv belongs to the higher-order upward impulse sequence (C) from last August.
