Morgan Stanley Stock Forecast

Buy or Hold candidate since Jul 01, 2026 Gain 0.20%

The Morgan Stanley stock price gained 0.118% on the last trading day (Monday, 13th Jul 2026), rising from $25.15 to $25.18. It has now gained 3 days in a row. It will be exciting to see whether it manages to continue gaining or take a minor break for the next few days. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.159% from a day low at $25.14 to a day high of $25.18. The price has risen in 6 of the last 10 days but is still down by -1.1% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 99 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 133 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $3.35 million.

The stock is at the lower part of a narrow and horizontal trend in the short term, and normally this may pose a good buying opportunity, though a breakdown through the bottom trend line at $25.11 will give a strong sell signal and a trend shift may be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Morgan Stanley stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $25.18 and $25.57 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and stocks seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. Stocks turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.

MS-PF Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, and so far it has risen 0.319%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Morgan Stanley stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $25.31. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $25.15. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD).

Support, Risk & Stop-loss for Morgan Stanley stock

Morgan Stanley finds support from accumulated volume at $25.14 and this level may hold a buying opportunity as an upwards reaction can be expected when the support is being tested.

Trading Expectations (MS-PF) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Tuesday 14th

For the upcoming trading day on Tuesday, 14th we expect Morgan Stanley to open at $25.17, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $25.15 and $25.21, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.0571 (+/-0.23%) up or down from last closing price. If Morgan Stanley takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.23% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $25.22 (0.14%) than the support at $25.14 (0.16%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
