Morgan Stanley Stock Forecast

Hold candidate since Jun 18, 2026

The Morgan Stanley stock price gained 0.160% on the last trading day (Thursday, 18th Jun 2026), rising from $25.03 to $25.07. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.319% from a day low at $25.02 to a day high of $25.10. The price has been going up and down for this period, and there has been a -0.04% loss for the last 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 157 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 195 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $4.89 million.

The stock is moving within a narrow and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Morgan Stanley stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $24.62 and $25.23 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-PI Signals & Forecast

The Morgan Stanley stock holds buy signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a positive forecast for the stock, but the stock has a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections down, there will be some support from the lines at $25.04 and $25.07. A breakdown below any of these levels will issue sell signals. 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. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Monday, April 27, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.437%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is currently a sell signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Thursday, May 21, 2026 in the long-term chart.

Golden Star Signal is when the short-term moving average, the long-term moving average, and price line meet in a special combination. This combination is very rare and often followed by long and strong gains for the stock in question.

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 22nd we expect Morgan Stanley to open at $25.06, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $25.01 and $25.13, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.118 (+/-0.47%) up or down from last closing price.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $25.06 (0.04%) than the resistance at $25.10 (0.12%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
