Morgan Stanley stock upgraded to Buy Candidate
(Updated on Jun 23, 2026)
The Morgan Stanley stock price gained 0.158% on the last trading day (Tuesday, 23rd Jun 2026), rising from $25.26 to $25.30. During the last trading day the stock fluctuated 0.396% from a day low at $25.25 to a day high of $25.35. The price has risen in 7 of the last 10 days and is up by 0.4% over the past 2 weeks. Volume has increased on the last day along with the price, which is a positive technical sign, and, in total, 15 thousand more shares were traded than the day before. In total, 96 thousand shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.43 million.
The stockis at the upper part of a narrow and horizontal trend and normally this may pose a good selling opportunity but a break-up through the top trend line at $25.38 will give a strong buy signal and a trend shift could be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect Morgan Stanley stock with a 90% probability to be traded between $25.01 and $25.46 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-PP Signals & Forecast
The Morgan Stanley stock holds a sell signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, there is a buy signal from the long-term average. Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $25.33. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the long-term average at approximately $25.25. A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. 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. 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 Tuesday, June 16, 2026, and so far it has fallen -0.315%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Wednesday, June 10, 2026 in the short-term chart.
