Morgan Stanley Stock Forecast

Hold candidate since Jul 10, 2026

The Morgan Stanley stock price gained 0.281% on the last trading day (Friday, 10th Jul 2026), rising from $24.88 to $24.95. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.301% from a day low at $24.89 to a day high of $24.96. The price has fallen in 5 of the last 10 days and is down by -0.4% for this period. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 8 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 69 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $1.73 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 $24.74 and $25.03 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

There are mixed signals in the stock today. The Morgan Stanley stock holds sell signals from both short and long-term Moving Averages giving a more negative forecast for the stock. Also, there is a general sell signal from the relation between the two signals where the long-term average is above the short-term average. On corrections up, there will be some resistance from the lines at $24.97 and $25.04. A break-up above any of these levels will issue buy signals. A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Wednesday, July 08, 2026, and so far it has risen 0.281%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal.

Trading Expectations (MS-PI) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 13th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 13th we expect Morgan Stanley to open at $24.93, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $24.88 and $25.02, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.141 (+/-0.57%) up or down from last closing price. If Morgan Stanley takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 0.57% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the support from accumulated volume at $24.92 (0.14%) than the resistance at $25.00 (0.20%), our systems sees the trading risk/reward intra-day as attractive and believe profit can be made before the stock reaches first resistance..
