Microsoft Corp | MSFT

Daily Technical Analysis of Microsoft Corp

Microsoft hasn't moved too much today but is slightly down, it has lost -0.01% since yesterday. It looks like MSFT may be interacting with a slightly angled support line. This area could represent a pivot point that it moves up from. In addition to being near an angled support line MSFT is near a weak support line. We'll see if it bounces off or heads lower. MSFT hasn't established a very clear directional momentum over the last few months. So it's not clear if it has the energy to get a very good bounce at this point or not.

If the price bounces off of the support and moves up it'll probably head up to the $415.235 level, at which point it may hit some selling pressure. There aren't very obvious support levels beneath this point. So put those stop losses on, this thing has room to fall if buyers don't come in at this level.
