Nvidia’s Pre-Earnings Harmonic Setup - Do Technicals Work?Coming off our recent conversation about technicals vs. fundamentals—and a great question from you guys about whether technicals work the same in every market—I wanted to take a minute to clear something up: Yes, technicals absolutely work across all markets. The same historical patterns have been repeating since the beginning of time. BUT… it’s just as important to remember that every market has its own personality. And because of that, certain trading styles or patterns will naturally perform better in some markets than others. The principles stay the same, but the behavior you’re applying them to can look very different. For example, one of the styles I gravitate toward is harmonic patterns. They tend to show up during periods of consolidation, and with Nvidia currently tightening up ahead of earnings this Wednesday, it’s no surprise we’ve got one forming right now. If you have any questions, comments, or want to share your ideas, please feel free to leave them below. Akil

Microsoft Approaches Key Level, Expands Xbox Design Lab GloballyMicrosoft has announced a major expansion of its Xbox Design Lab through a new global partnership with ESW, significantly widening its international ecommerce footprint. Xbox Design Lab allows gamers to create personalized Xbox Wireless Controllers and Elite Series 2 controllers. With ESW now serving as the Merchant of Record, Xbox can efficiently handle cross-border payments, logistics and compliance, key components for scaling internationally. The relaunch extends Xbox Design Lab access to 27 countries, including major markets across North America, Europe and APAC. Countries such as the U.S., Canada, Japan, Singapore, Australia, South Korea, Germany and the U.K. are all included in the upgraded rollout. ESW’s ecommerce infrastructure also enables Microsoft to customize checkout flows and streamline international operations under tight timelines. A joint roadmap promises expanded payment options and future global growth. This move strengthens Xbox’s global branding at a time when personalization and gamer-focused experiences are becoming central to console ecosystems. With Xbox hardware sales stabilizing and Game Pass continuing to anchor recurring revenue, this expansion supports Microsoft’s broader gaming strategy. It also enhances Xbox’s competitive positioning against Sony by offering deeper personalization options and global accessibility. Fundamentally, Microsoft remains a high-margin, high-cash-flow giant with strong performance across cloud, AI, enterprise software and gaming, making this expansion another bullish development. Technically, Microsoft’s stock maintains a long-term bullish structure. Price is currently trading near $505, trading towards $465 support zone after pulling back from the $555 high. The chart shows clean support and resistance levels that act as strong levels. As long as this $465 support holds, the larger bullish structure remains intact. If buyers defend the $640–$660 region, a rebound toward $813 becomes the next upside target. A breakout above that level could lead to fresh all-time highs. If support breaks, next levels sit at the trendline near $600 or deeper support around $550. Overall bias remains bullish.

MSFT: Final Dip Before the Next LeapPrevious Idea: Microsoft (MSFT) shows the stock is enduring a significant correction, which is the final pullback before a massive rally. This phase, labeled wave (4), is expected to find its bottom within a key support area. Traders are looking for this downswing to complete anywhere between the $452 and $492 zones. Hitting this target range would conclude the current multi-month drop and clear the path for the next major advance. Once the correction successfully bottoms out in that crucial support range, the market expects a powerful final bullish surge, known as wave (5), to begin. This next wave is projected to drive the stock significantly higher, easily surpassing the previous all-time high of $555.45 . This bullish scenario will remain valid as long as the stock respects the identified support zone and begins its ascent from that area.

MSFT Bounce or Flush?The daily trend is already broken, but the broader uptrend is intact which often produces a short-term bounce before a larger directional move unfolds Price broke the 50d MA with conviction, attempted to reclaim it & was rejected, so now price is slightly below it around $509-$514 Volume is not confirming that there are strong buyers so the daily trend is weak RSI & stoch both suggest no bullish divergence, or trend reversal This is the kind of bounce typically precedes a continuation down A bearish bias exists; unless, MSFT reclaims $520+ $505 is the first trapdoor & below it, $495-$500, then possibly $480-$485 MSFT is below the 50d MA, trend is weakening, momentum is bearish, but looking at the weekly chart, MSFT is still above it's long-term trend line which means, bounce or flush Quick bounce into the 50d MA ($515-$518), then reject & drop lower (50%) since the daily shows clear oversold momentum, weekly support intact & the 50d MA should be tested (in all sets the typical scenario for a dead-cat bounce) Immediate breakdown below $508 with a slide to $495-$500 (35%) given the RSI <50, weak volume on up days, lower highs & market indecision ahead of NVDA Full reversal, reclaim $520 & retest $530-$540 (15%), but would require a decisive move above the 50d MA & strong buying volume The daily chart is bearish, while the weekly chart shows a big support level is close, so expect a resolution soon on MSFT's directional outcome NASDAQ:QQQ AMEX:SPY

MSFT – Price Action Tightening Into a Decision Zone (11/17)MSFT has been trading in a strangely controlled rhythm these last few sessions. It keeps pressing into the same resistance band around 510–513, fails, dips into demand around 498–500, and snaps back with force. When I line up the 1H structure, the 15M flow, and the GEX positioning, it paints a very clear picture: MSFT is preparing for a real move, it just hasn’t chosen a side yet. I’ll walk through how I’m looking at it. 1️⃣ 1-Hour Chart — A Tight Compression Between Two Walls On the 1H, MSFT has been respecting a rising trendline while continuously getting capped under the 510–513 band. Price keeps pushing into that ceiling but never fully breaks through. That alone tells me sellers are defending this zone aggressively. But on the flip side, buyers haven’t stepped away either. Every time MSFT flushes into the 498–500 area, it gets bought almost instantly. It’s almost mechanical. So the 1H picture is simple: * Pressure building under 510–513 * Strong buy response at 498–500 * Trendline rising underneath When you see that combination, it usually means the breakout will be clean once it finally triggers. 2️⃣ 15-Minute Chart — Intraday Rotation Shows Intent The 15M chart adds more detail. Right now, MSFT is trading inside yesterday’s freshly formed supply zone near 512–513, where multiple bearish FVGs stacked together. Price tapped that area and pulled back, but the pullback was shallow and controlled. That’s usually a sign buyers didn’t leave—just waiting. There are also several bullish FVGs layered below: * 506.8 * 504.5 * 501–502 These zones often act like stepping stones if price chooses an upward move. What I like here is that MSFT didn’t give back its entire run. It retraced only to the nearest FVG and held—strong behavior during a potential breakout setup. This 15M structure leans slightly bullish, but it needs confirmation. 3️⃣ GEX Chart — Where MSFT Is Actually Being Pulled This part is where most traders miss the real story. The GEX map shows extremely clear levels that explain why MSFT keeps stalling at the same places: Upside Gamma Levels * 513.49 → strong resistance zone * 520 → 2nd call wall * 525+ → deep positive GEX cluster If MSFT breaks above 513, it has clean air toward 520, and if momentum is strong, 525 becomes possible. These gamma walls often act like magnets once price clears the top. Downside Hedging Zones * 500.00 → primary PUT support * 497.05 → second PUT level * 493.25 → deeper hedge zone This explains why 500 keeps getting defended every time—it’s a real options wall where market makers hedge hard. What I like about this GEX setup is how cleanly it aligns with the levels on your 1H and 15M charts. When price action and dealer positioning line up, the move becomes easier to trust. And yes—if someone hasn’t used GEX before, this is one of those charts that makes them ask, “Why does MSFT bounce exactly there every time?”
That’s where GEX comes in. 🎯 How I’m Planning MSFT for 11/17 🔼 Bullish Plan (Only Above 513) If MSFT manages to break 513 and consolidate above it, the upside can be impressive. Stock Trade Idea: * Entry: 513.20–513.50 * Targets: * 515 * 517 * 520 (GEX wall) * 525 (if SPY and QQQ trend strong) Options Idea: * 515C or 520C * Best entries come after 513 holds * Trim at each major GEX magnet 🔽 Bearish Plan (If 500 Fails) A clean break below 500 flips the structure immediately. Stock Trade Idea: * Entry: 499.20–499.00 * Targets: * 497 * 493 * 490 (extended move) Options Idea: * 500P or 495P * Downside accelerates quickly below 500 because hedging flips direction * Fast scalps toward the PUT wall zones ⚠️ Chop Zone: 506–510 This is where MSFT keeps moving sideways with no conviction.
I’d avoid trading here unless volatility expands. Final Thoughts MSFT is one of those charts that looks boring at first glance but becomes incredibly clean once you stack multiple timeframes with the GEX levels. Both sides have clear control zones, and both sides have a reason to defend. The real trade begins at 513 or 500.

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.

Global Trade Imbalance1. Why Do Trade Imbalances Occur? 1.1 Differences in Savings and Investments A fundamental reason for trade imbalance is the difference between a country’s savings and investment levels. Countries like China, Germany, and Japan tend to save more than they invest domestically. The excess savings flow into international markets and allow these countries to run large surpluses. Countries like the United States, the U.K., and India generally invest more than they save, leading to deficits. In simple terms: A country with low savings must borrow from abroad, financing imports and creating a trade deficit. This relationship between savings, investment, and trade is at the heart of global imbalances. 1.2 Cost Competitiveness and Productivity Differences Countries with high productivity, strong manufacturing bases, and efficient logistics tend to export more. For example: China has a massive manufacturing ecosystem, leading to high export capacity. Vietnam and Bangladesh excel in low-cost manufacturing such as textiles. Germany dominates premium engineering goods like automobiles and industrial machinery. Countries that cannot compete in global manufacturing rely on imports, causing deficits. 1.3 Exchange Rates and Currency Policies Exchange rates influence trade flows significantly. If a country’s currency is undervalued, its exports become cheaper and more competitive, boosting surpluses. If a country’s currency is overvalued, imports become cheaper and exports fall, increasing deficits. Some countries intentionally manage their currencies to maintain export competitiveness. For instance, China has often been accused of keeping the yuan undervalued in the past to support exports. 1.4 Global Supply Chains Modern production is globally fragmented. One product may involve dozens of countries. Example: An iPhone assembled in China contains parts designed in the U.S., Japan, Taiwan, Korea, and Germany. The final assembly stage inflates China’s export numbers even though value is created elsewhere. This creates distorted imbalances, where the country doing final assembly appears to run a huge surplus, even if the true value-added is smaller. 1.5 Commodity Dependency Countries that rely heavily on imported commodities (oil, gas, metals, food) often run deficits. India imports crude oil, gold, and electronics, contributing to its trade deficit. Saudi Arabia and UAE export oil and run large surpluses. Commodity price swings can dramatically shift trade balances. 2. How Trade Imbalances Persist Trade imbalances are not always corrected naturally. Several mechanisms reinforce them. 2.1 Capital Flows Countries with deficits attract foreign capital to finance them. The U.S. attracts investment due to its dollar dominance and strong financial markets. Developing countries attract foreign investment when their markets offer higher returns. These capital inflows allow deficits to persist for decades. 2.2 Reserve Accumulation and Export-Led Growth Surplus countries sometimes accumulate massive foreign exchange reserves to stabilize their currencies and maintain export competitiveness. China and Japan hold trillions of dollars in foreign reserves. This allows them to keep exporting and running surpluses without strong currency appreciation. 2.3 Structural Economic Factors Long-term differences in: demographics technology industrial structure labor productivity consumption patterns can keep trade imbalances persistent. For example, aging populations in Europe and Japan reduce consumption and increase savings, maintaining surpluses. 3. Effects of Global Trade Imbalance 3.1 Currency Pressure Large deficits tend to weaken a country’s currency over time. Weak currencies make imports more expensive and exports more competitive, which eventually corrects imbalances—but often slowly. Surplus countries face pressure for their currencies to appreciate, reducing competitiveness. 3.2 Debt Accumulation Countries with long-term trade deficits may accumulate foreign debt. The U.S. is the world’s largest debtor, financing its trade deficit through global capital inflows. Some developing countries face crises when deficits become unsustainable, leading to IMF bailouts. 3.3 Global Financial Instability Large imbalances can contribute to global economic crises. Example: Before the 2008 financial crisis, the U.S. ran huge deficits while China, Japan, and oil-rich nations accumulated surpluses. The recycled surplus money flowed into U.S. financial markets, creating bubbles. 3.4 Trade Wars and Protectionism Persistent imbalances can lead to political and strategic tensions. The U.S.–China trade war was partly driven by the U.S.’s large deficit with China. Tariffs, quotas, and trade barriers are often introduced to address imbalances, but they may worsen global growth. 3.5 Impact on Employment and Manufacturing Large deficits can result in: loss of manufacturing jobs deindustrialization unemployment in certain sectors widening wage inequality Meanwhile, surplus nations often experience booming export industries and rising employment. 4. Are Trade Imbalances Always Bad? Trade imbalances can be harmful or perfectly healthy, depending on their nature. Healthy Imbalances Fast-growing countries import more machinery and capital goods. Countries with young populations naturally consume more. Surplus countries save more due to aging demographics. Unhealthy Imbalances Caused by currency manipulation Resulting from weak domestic demand Leading to excessive indebtedness Triggering geopolitical tensions The key is whether the imbalance is sustainable. 5. Solutions to Reduce Global Trade Imbalances 5.1 Exchange Rate Adjustments Allowing currencies to move freely can naturally reduce imbalances. 5.2 Increasing Domestic Consumption in Surplus Countries Surplus economies like China and Germany can: strengthen social welfare systems encourage investment reduce reliance on exports 5.3 Boosting Domestic Production in Deficit Countries Deficit nations can: invest in manufacturing support high-tech industries reduce import dependency 5.4 Balanced Global Financial Flows Reforms in global financial markets can reduce unnecessary capital movements that fuel imbalances. 5.5 Trade Agreements and Cooperation Fair trade rules, tariff reductions, and collaboration through bodies like the WTO can help ensure more balanced trade. Conclusion Global trade imbalances are a natural part of the international economic system, but large and persistent imbalances can create economic, political, and social challenges. They reflect deeper structural factors like savings levels, competitiveness, exchange rates, demographics, and financial flows. While not inherently harmful, imbalances must be managed carefully to avoid instability, reduce inequality, and sustain long-term global growth.

MSFT at a Turning Point – Key Levels to Watch for Nov. 201-Hour Outlook MSFT has been in a clean down-channel, but today's late-session recovery finally broke above the short-term lower trendline. Price is now pushing into a critical resistance zone around $502–$505, which has rejected multiple times this week. Key levels from the 1-hour structure: * First resistance: $498.50 * Main rejection zone: $502–$505 * Bull breakout confirmation: $510 → opens $513–$515 * Downside support: $490, then $485 Momentum is improving — MACD is curling up and the candle structure is shifting away from heavy sell pressure. But MSFT still needs to reclaim $502.50 with conviction before bulls gain control for tomorrow. 1-Hour Bias:
Cautiously bullish if above $498.50, but still inside a larger downtrend unless $502–$505 breaks. 15-Minute Outlook (For Traders) Short-term price action shows MSFT breaking out of a wedge and retesting the breakout cleanly around $493–$494. Strong impulsive candles came in after the retest. What matters for tomorrow: * As long as MSFT holds above $493–$494, buyers can push into $498–$500. * A clean move through $500 → $502.50 would trigger momentum traders. * If MSFT rejects early at $498–$500, expect a pullback to $490–$492. 15-Min Trading Thoughts: * Bull setup: Pullback to $494–$496 with bounce confirmation → targets $500 / $502. * Bear setup: Rejection at $502–$505 → targets $492 then $488. Momentum is stronger on the 15-min chart than the 1-hour, which means MSFT has room to squeeze early but may struggle at $502–$505 unless volume shows up. How GEX Supports the Levels From the GEX (Gamma Exposure) chart: Bullish elements: * Highest positive call interest sits above $510–$515, meaning if MSFT breaks $505, market makers hedge by buying → upward acceleration. * Light resistance around $500–$502, so price can push into that zone easily. Bearish elements: * Strong negative GEX / put support at $485, acting as the floor for the week. * Heavy put walls between $480–$485, making breakdowns less likely unless market-wide selling hits. GEX Summary: * Break $505 → path to $510–$513 opens quickly. * Lose $490 → hedging pressure drives it toward $485. Option Trading Suggestions Based on GEX For tomorrow's session: Bullish Idea If MSFT breaks and holds over $502.50: * Consider 505C or 510C, same-week expiration. * Safer choice: Next-week 510C (less decay). Reason: GEX shows low resistance between $505 → $510. Bearish Idea If MSFT rejects $502–$505 early: * Consider 495P or 490P. * Conservative approach: next-week 490P. Reason: Price tends to fade back into the $492–$488 pocket when the breakout fails. Final Thoughts MSFT is at a key pivot zone. Both 1-hour and 15-minute charts show recovery momentum, but the chart won’t turn fully bullish unless $502.50–$505 breaks. Expect volatility around that zone tomorrow.

New Energy Market Trading: The Future of Global Energy Dynamics1. What Is the New Energy Market? The new energy market refers to the ecosystem of production, trading, and consumption centered on renewable and low-carbon energy sources. Unlike traditional energy markets dominated by coal, oil, and natural gas, new energy markets include solar, wind, hydro, hydrogen, nuclear, geothermal, and bioenergy. They are also closely linked to carbon trading, battery storage systems, and green technology innovations. The transition toward these clean energy systems is being driven by: Climate change concerns and global carbon neutrality goals. Rapid declines in renewable energy costs. Technological advances in energy storage and smart grids. Policy support and government incentives promoting clean energy. Growing investor interest in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) sectors. This transformation is not only about producing cleaner power but also about creating a new kind of trading ecosystem that is transparent, digitalized, and globally connected. 2. Structure of the New Energy Market Much like traditional commodity markets, the new energy market also has key components — generation, trading, and consumption. However, what sets it apart is the integration of digital platforms, data analytics, and environmental accountability. a. Generation: Energy generation now comes from decentralized sources — solar farms, rooftop panels, offshore wind turbines, hydro plants, and hydrogen fuel cells. Many households and businesses have become “prosumers” (both producers and consumers), generating energy and selling surplus power back to the grid. b. Trading: Energy trading involves buying and selling electricity or related instruments through exchanges or contracts. In the new energy market, trading platforms are increasingly digital, automated, and blockchain-based, ensuring transparency and traceability. Traders deal not only in electricity but also in carbon credits, renewable energy certificates (RECs), and power purchase agreements (PPAs). c. Consumption and Distribution: Smart meters, grid management systems, and AI-based forecasting now help optimize consumption patterns. The focus is on efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness, ensuring that renewable energy is delivered reliably even when sources like wind or sunlight fluctuate. 3. The Role of Technology in Energy Trading The rise of the new energy market is inseparable from technological advancement. Digitalization has transformed how energy is traded and monitored. Blockchain and Smart Contracts: Blockchain ensures transparent and tamper-proof energy transactions. Smart contracts allow automatic execution of trades once conditions are met, reducing human intervention and improving efficiency. Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI predicts energy demand and supply trends, enabling traders to make better decisions. It also helps forecast weather patterns, which influence solar and wind energy outputs. Internet of Things (IoT): IoT sensors collect real-time data from grids, solar panels, and turbines. This data feeds into trading algorithms, improving decision-making accuracy. Energy Storage Technologies: The growth of batteries and hydrogen fuel cells has made renewable energy more reliable. Traders can now hedge or arbitrage based on stored energy availability, making storage a valuable trading asset. 4. Key Trading Instruments in the New Energy Market Energy trading has evolved beyond simply buying and selling electricity. Several instruments have emerged to facilitate complex trading strategies: Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs): Each REC represents proof that one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity was generated from renewable sources. Companies buy RECs to offset their carbon footprint or meet sustainability targets. Carbon Credits: Carbon trading allows companies with lower emissions to sell their surplus allowances to those exceeding emission limits. It encourages decarbonization while creating a new financial market. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs): Long-term contracts between energy producers and consumers that lock in prices. These agreements stabilize revenue for renewable energy projects and attract investors. Energy Futures and Options: Similar to commodities, futures contracts allow traders to hedge against price fluctuations in electricity, carbon, or renewable energy instruments. 5. Global Energy Exchanges and Hubs New energy trading is facilitated through various global and regional exchanges, including: European Energy Exchange (EEX) – major hub for carbon and electricity trading in Europe. Nord Pool – focuses on renewable power trading in Nordic and Baltic countries. Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) – leading platform for power and green energy trading in India. China’s National Carbon Market – one of the world’s largest carbon trading systems. US-based Nodal Exchange – specializes in renewable power futures and environmental contracts. These exchanges have become the backbone of transparent, regulated, and digital energy trading systems worldwide. 6. Drivers of Growth in the New Energy Market Several factors are propelling the rise of new energy trading: Global Climate Commitments: The Paris Agreement and national net-zero goals have forced countries to adopt renewable energy and carbon pricing mechanisms. Falling Renewable Costs: Solar and wind energy are now cheaper than many fossil fuel sources, making renewables an economically sound choice. Corporate ESG Mandates: Companies are under pressure to report and reduce their carbon footprints, increasing demand for renewable power and RECs. Energy Security: The Russia-Ukraine conflict and oil supply disruptions have encouraged nations to diversify energy sources, boosting renewables. Innovation in Storage and Distribution: Battery costs have dropped by over 80% in the past decade, making renewable energy more viable for large-scale trading and storage. 7. Challenges in the New Energy Market Despite its rapid growth, the new energy market faces significant hurdles: Intermittency of Renewables: Solar and wind energy depend on weather, leading to supply fluctuations and price volatility. Grid Infrastructure Limitations: Many countries still lack the smart grid systems needed for efficient renewable integration. Regulatory Uncertainty: Policies on carbon pricing, renewable incentives, and energy trading differ across countries, complicating cross-border trading. Data and Cybersecurity Risks: As trading becomes digital, protecting energy data and transactions from cyber threats is a major challenge. Market Fragmentation: The lack of global standardization in REC and carbon credit systems can lead to inefficiencies and price discrepancies. 8. The Future of New Energy Trading The coming decade will likely see the new energy market evolve into a unified global ecosystem. As digitalization deepens, trading will become more automated and accessible, allowing individuals, corporations, and even AI-based systems to participate directly. Key future trends include: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Energy Trading: Households will trade surplus solar energy directly with neighbors through blockchain platforms. Integration of Carbon and Energy Markets: A single, synchronized system could link electricity, carbon, and renewable credit trading globally. Hydrogen and Bioenergy Expansion: Green hydrogen could become a major traded commodity by 2030, rivaling oil and gas. Decentralized Autonomous Markets: AI-driven, self-regulating energy trading systems will balance supply and demand instantly, without intermediaries. Conclusion The new energy market trading system represents one of the most transformative shifts in global finance and sustainability. It is not just an evolution of the energy sector but a revolution in how the world values and trades energy. With technology, sustainability, and economics converging, this market promises cleaner power, smarter trading, and a greener planet. However, success will depend on coordinated policy efforts, robust digital infrastructure, and investor confidence. As renewable energy becomes the backbone of the global economy, those who understand and adapt to this new market will be the true winners of the 21st-century energy revolution.

Microsoft on the Edge — Double Top or Beginning of a Rebound?The daily chart of Microsoft (MSFT) shows that the stock is moving within a horizontal range between approximately 495 and 540 dollars, with a potential bearish Double Top pattern forming. The price is currently testing a critical support area that could determine the next major move. Structure and Trend Analysis After a strong rally from early 2025, Microsoft entered a consolidation phase with sideways movement. Two clear peaks near 540 dollars indicate a possible Double Top pattern, which is often a signal of a trend reversal. The 50-day moving average, located around 488 dollars, has started to flatten, confirming the loss of short-term momentum. At the moment, the price is trading slightly above the key horizontal support at 495 dollars, which aligns with previous reaction lows. Bullish Scenario If Microsoft can hold above 495 dollars and bounce from this level, it will likely retest the upper boundary of the range near 540 dollars. Final confirmation comes if the price breaks above 540 with strong momentum. In this case, the short-term target would be between 525 and 540 dollars, and the mid-term target between 565 and 580 dollars. A reasonable stop loss for this setup would be a close below 490 dollars. A rebound from this area would indicate accumulation and the potential continuation of the long-term uptrend. Bearish Scenario If the price breaks below 495 dollars with increased selling volume, the Double Top pattern would be confirmed. In that case, the price could fall toward the 430 to 440 dollar range. The short-term target would be around 465 dollars, and the long-term target near 430 dollars, while the stop loss would be set above 510 dollars. A decisive close below the support zone would confirm a change in direction and could trigger a deeper correction. Timeframe Outlook In the short term, over the next one to three weeks, the stock may continue moving sideways between 495 and 520 dollars as traders wait for a breakout or breakdown signal. In the medium to long term, over the next two to four months, a breakout above 540 dollars could lead to a rally toward 580 dollars, while a breakdown below 495 dollars could open the path to 430 dollars, aligning with the Double Top pattern’s projected target.

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 Is Finishing Wave 4 CorrectionMicrosoft is in a wave 4 correction, and once it's fully completed, it can extend the rally within wave 5 from a technical point of view and according to Elliott wave theory. Microsoft is a global technology company founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in 1975. It’s best known for its Windows operating system, Microsoft Office suite, and cloud platform Azure. Over the years, Microsoft has expanded into gaming (with Xbox), professional networking (LinkedIn), and AI (through partnerships like OpenAI). Today, it’s one of the world’s most valuable and influential companies, shaping software, hardware, and cloud computing industries. Microsoft reported earnings last Wednesday after the close, with the price turning lower after reaching new highs. The structure still appears to be a wave four in progress — a flat correction where the current drop likely represents wave C. Wave C often stabilizes near wave A levels, suggesting support around 492 and 468 (the former 2024 high). Holding this zone could set up the next rebound into the final higher-degree wave five. Highlights: Trend: Corrective phase, wave C of flat in progress Potential: Rebound toward new highs once support holds Support: 492 / 468 Invalidation: Below 394 Note: Watch for stabilization at support before potential wave five continuation

MICROSOFT may fall to $450 if this Support breaks.Microsoft (MSFT) has been trading within a 4-year Channel Up since the November 22 2021 High. Last week it got rejected exactly on its July 28 2025 Resistance (which was a Higher High for the Channel Up) and formed a Double Top, which continues to decline this week as well. With its 1W RSI also displaying a Bearish Divergence (since the July High) similar to past sell alerts within this Channel Up, it is possible for the stock to correct to at least $450, which represents the 0.5 Fibonacci level where the previous July 2024 - March 2025 correction found Support. That was just above the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line), which also priced the bottom of the October 31 2022 Low but that correction was -38.69%, considerably stronger that -26.54%, which is also plausible if 2026 is a Bear Cycle. The level that has confirmed those two correction Sell Signals within this Channel Up has been the 1D MA150 (red trend-line). On both occasions, Microsoft closed a 1W candle below the 1D MA150 and confirmed the correction, something that hasn't happened at any other time during these 4 years. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

MSFT — Daily & Weekly Structure Check (20 Nov 2025)Context Price failed to clear $554–$555, the 1:1 measured move from the May flag. A bearish double top formed on the daily; the downswing was kicked off by an island reversal. Daily Structure Today price lost $493–$492 (valley/neckline), confirming the double-top breakdown. Volume confirms: heavier on down days, lighter on bounces. Price is below the 5-day MA; the 21-day MA is acting as dynamic resistance. The 50-day and 100-day MAs have also been lost, reinforcing intermediate weakness. Weekly Context The major trend remains intact above the longer MA, but the 21-day MA is now broken, aligning the weekly picture with daily weakness. Key Levels Resistance: $493–$492 (now breakdown/neckline); $554–$555 (measured-move cap). Supports on the path lower: intermediate help from the 50/100-day MAs; the 200-day sits beneath the gap. Target on confirmation: $430–$429 (top of the FVG) via a 1:1 measured move from the double-top. Scenarios Bearish continuation (primary): A weekly close below $493–$492 keeps momentum pointed to $430–$429. Expect potential pauses at the 50/100-day MAs; failure there leaves the FVG magnet in play with the 200-day below. Bullish repair (secondary): A swift reclaim of $493–$492 followed by acceptance back above the 21-day MA would neutralize the breakdown and defer the measured-move path. Triggers Downside trigger: Friday close < $493–$492 → activates the 1:1 toward $430–$429. Upside repair trigger: Daily close back > $493–$492 and back over the 21-day MA → negates immediate breakdown risk. Risk & Invalidation Bearish view invalidates on sustained closes back above $493–$492 with the 21-day MA reclaimed as support. Until then, trend-following bias favors lower highs / lower lows on the daily. Summary Rejection at $554–$555, a double-top breakdown through $493–$492, confirming volume, and loss of the 5/21/50/100-day MAs all align bearish in the intermediate term. The weekly trend is still up overall, but breaking the 21-day brings it into agreement with the daily. Watch $493–$492 into the weekly close; it’s the pivot between a measured-move drive to $430–$429 and a repair back into range.
