Betting on Pivot with Microsoft. MSFTContracting Elliott triangle done, C Wave of upgoing zigzag done (probably, awaiting confirmation0, so ready for drop in line with the global picture on equities right now. We are not in the business of getting every prediction right, no one ever does and that is not the aim of the game. The Fibonacci targets are highlighted in purple with invalidation in red. Confirmation level, where relevant, is a pink dotted, finite line. Fibonacci goals, it is prudent to suggest, are nothing more than mere fractally evident and therefore statistically likely levels that the market will go to. Having said that, the market will always do what it wants and always has a mind of its own. Therefore, none of this is financial advice, so do your own research and rely only on your own analysis. Trading is a true one man sport. Good luck out there and stay safe.

Microsoft | Fundamental AnalysisThe Nasdaq was down nearly 2 percent Tuesday as e-commerce company Shopify announced a 10 percent layoff to help it deal with lower-than-expected demand for its platform. This spooked investors in tech companies as they wondered what else might be on the horizon this earnings season. Against that backdrop, coupled with an overall tough year for tech stocks, investors were probably hoping for some encouraging news when software giant Microsoft reports earnings Tuesday. Although Microsoft's results, unfortunately, came in below analysts' consensus forecasts on two metrics, there's still plenty to like about the report. But to see the positives, you have to look at the situation from a different angle. For example, the results are good in light of a more conservative valuation of the stock after a 25 percent drop in its price this year. In addition, a close look at the report shows that Microsoft's cloud computing business, Azure, continues to show strong growth. Microsoft's revenues for its fiscal fourth quarter, which ended July 26, rose 12 percent YoY to $51.9 billion. However, in constant-currency terms, revenues were up 16% YoY. Revenue growth was also impacted by YoY comparisons: revenues for the prior period were up 21% YoY. Net income for the period was $16.7 billion, representing earnings per share of $2.23. This key earnings per share figure compare to $2.17 in the year-ago quarter. On a constant currency basis, earnings per share were up 8% YoY. Microsoft's cloud computing business had an outstanding quarter. The company's Azure and other cloud services segment saw revenue grow 40% YoY or 46% in constant currency terms. It's worth noting that this figure isn't too far off from the 49% growth in a constant currency that Azure posted in the period that ended three months earlier. This kind of growth rate is welcomed by investors at a time of heightened global economic uncertainty. There have been occasions in the past when such results might have been worrisome. For example, Microsoft had a price-to-earnings ratio of more than 40 at one point in 2020. Such a high valuation requires not just good, but impressive results. But one of the advantages of the Nasdaq falling 26 percent this year is that the stock is trading at a more reasonable value. Microsoft's fourth fiscal quarter results show that the technology company is performing well in the face of tough YoY comparisons, currency headwinds, and an uncertain operating environment. Moreover, the company's net income margin of 32% is a breath of fresh air as investors struggle with the continued losses of many young tech companies, whose stock prices rose in 2020 and 2021 and then collapsed in 2022. Microsoft's solid earnings and healthy balance sheet are probably more valuable today than they were a few years ago. Thanks to notable performance in tough times, investors should take a closer look at Microsoft to see if it's worth investing in the company while the stock is trading at a very reasonable price.

MSFT Potential for bullish rise | 28th July 2022On the H4, with prices breaking out of the descending trendline and moving above the ichimoku indicator, we have a bullish bias that price would rise to buy entry at 268.70 where the 78.6% fibonacci retracement, 127.2% fibonacci extension, 100% fibonacci projection and swing high resistance are. Once there is upside confirmation that price has broken buy entry, we would expect bullish momentum to carry price to take profit at 278.24 where swing high resistance is. Alternatively, price could drop to stop loss at 246.54 where the overlap support and 78.6% fibonacci projection are.

Where will MSFT go next? Just having fun......First time publisher and amateur trader.......... Its time for MSFT earnings and with the combination of inflation, global economies, ongoing wars, food shortages, recession fears, supply chain issues, new Covid mutants, and regular old P/E predictabilities, it seems like a crazy and unpredictable market, HOWEVER, its fun to play and pretend like I can guess price movement, so I decided to publish my first Idea about MSFT. Any comments or advice is welcome in good taste. Lets pretend for a moment that we did hit some sort of bottom recently............ No Crystal Ball Here! MSFT seems like they are distanced enough from the social media AD pressure + have enough diversity with Azure to dodge the computer sales impacts, BUT I think that the next big price movements will rely on good earnings with positive forecast (obviously). The 10:1 volume for buying last weekwas especially reassuring and I think MSFT will remain in an uptrend for the next couple of weeks. We are right at the 200 day moving average. There is good resistance at $250 and $255 and I think that MSFT will try hard to stay above $250 no matter what. Part of BIG TECH, found in VALUE Etfs, doesn't rely on advertising, and also has a near 1% DIVIDEND. I love MSFT these are my personal ideas. These are just ideas and not professional advice or anything related to advice. Safe trading.

Insiders Knew Something...(READ CAREFULLY)If you had watched Uber's chart in the past two weeks you have probably realized that it goes one day +5% the other day -5%, next day +4% and again -4% ....; Experienced traders know that's a scary signal that indicates company is running out of money and is scrambling to survive with speculation ! This common phenomenon (+5%, -4%, +4%, -5% ...,) happens just few weeks prior to bankruptcy. Speculation is because of no operating income...!!! Has lost more than 60% in the last year and is taking its last breaths.

Apple Double Topped?We may have seen Apple hit a double-top from May's high of $151, which we hit again today. With a week of earnings, including Apple's earnings on 28th, it could go anywhere. According to their guidance they expected a slowdown, lets see how this plays out for their price. Per economic data, it fully supports a sell off but these big cap names is what is keeping the markets looking nice even though other stocks are down 90% like Carvana. The market doesn't really reflect the true state of the economy, because if it did, markets would be slashed in half. Consumer sentiment, PPI, CPI, jobless claims are all worse than expected, but they like to act like we've hit bottom after a 14-year bull market rally. MACD on the monthly is still very bearish. RSI has room to fall. But, lets see. Today, good news is good, bad news is good and in the face of $90 billion in buy-back from Apple, we can see Apple unrealistically going up.

SPY WHATS NEXT??!!It appears the spy has found a landing zone, and may now be in the accumulation phase, Using the Wyckoff Accumulation method, I analyzed what may occur over the next few trading weeks. In the short term I believe SPY is bullish and looking to retrace to the .618 Fib resistance ($390) within a few days and eventually retracing the .786 fib ($400). After that Based on the wyckoff method, it may breakdown, given the marco-economics of the entire market being bearish , with alot of fear and uncertainty amid a recession on the horizon (if were not already), and the feds hawkish aim to control inflation , we may have a sell off that could lead below previous lows, as highlighted in the chart. Strategy 1: buy $400 calls expiration 8-19-22 Sell: First Target price $390 followed by $400 Startegy 2: If SPY reaches $400, Buy PUT 21 days from expiration ideally strike of $390 Alternatively SPY could break over $400 and continue to rally and possibly reverse to the upside despite macro conditions. DISCLAIMER: I am not a financial advisor, I do not advise anyone to buy or sell anything, these are just my own ideas for my own use, trade at your own risk.

MICROSOFT Targeting $285 short-termMicrosoft (MSFT) is about to hit the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) for the 3rd time since June 27. A new break should be a confirmation of that being the new Lower High rebound. The previous targeted the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, this is now over the Channel Down a little above 285.00. We believe this might be the start to an even bigger and more sustainable rise as certain long-term indicators have been aligned on Support levels: * First, the RSI on the 1W time-frame is on a Bullish Divergence, being on Higher Lows while the price action was on Lower Lows. * Second, the 1W MACD inevitably will form a Bullish Cross, the first since October 27 2021. * Third, the 1M MA30 (yellow trend-line) supported the previous Low, right on the Higher Lows trend-line that started back in September 18 2020. As mentioned the 285.00 is just below the 0.618 Fib, where the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) might be by the time it tests it, for the ultimate Resistance test. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, subscribe and share your ideas and charts with the community! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apple rebounding 1D Apple has rebounded on a maxi support ($ 125 - $ 140) which originated in August 2020 (as resistance) until July 2021 where the price passed $ 140. It currently appears to anticipate the market by breaking a Falling Wedge with a rising low on a daily chart. Now we can trace the first FIbonacci Extension which will designate precisely the extent of this bounce. Apple is in a rebound phase even if it has to beat the 3 resistances in place (red rectangles). However, it is too early to assess whether the bear market is over. The market needs confirmation on the weekly chart and the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 Index still have a long way to go to be able to tell if the market has entered a bullish phase.
