During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 2.35% from a day low at $413.16 to a day high of $422.86. The price has fallen in 6 of the last 10 days and is down by -2.66% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day by 34 million shares but on falling prices. This may be an early warning and the risk will be increased slightly over the next couple of days.

On Jan 14, 2025, it was reported that Morgan Stanley gave MSFT a "Positive" grade with a "hold" action.

The stock has broken the wide and weak rising short-term trend down. This signalizes a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning about a possible trend shift. Due to the trend being broken there will now be resistance at the bottom line of the trend at $418.78. A reaction back to this level may hold a second chance to get out before further falls.

Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Microsoft stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $439.44 and $434.14. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, and so far it has fallen -7.20%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Volume rose on falling prices yesterday. This may be an early warning and the stock should be followed more closely.

Microsoft finds support from accumulated volume at $410.37 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Therefore, we hold a negative evaluation of this stock.Due to some small weaknesses in the technical picture we have downgraded our analysis conclusion for this stock since the last evaluation from a Buy to a Sell candidate.
