Hey Traders,
Just when Microsoft (Ticker: MSFT) looked like it was ready to really pull back, off a double top at $351.50, it took off and traded up twenty bucks!
So as you know, old resistance is now new support.
That makes the $351.50 level a support area now which it traded back down to yesterday.
Here is the close up:

Where does it go from here you ask?
According to my trusty pitchfork, which MSFT has followed along pretty well since the last time it traded $350 on November 22, 2021, it looks like it wants to trade up to $374:

Now if it decides to trade below that $351 support level, I’m seeing the next level of support coming in at $341.
A lot will be happening in MSFT with the rebalance on Friday and earnings being reported on Tuesday – it could quite possibly trade $341 and $374!
It will certainly be fun to watch.
Thanks for Reading … See You Next Tuesday,
Licia Leslie
