MSFT Elliott Wave Forecast For April 15, 2024
Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), often considered one of the “magnificent 7” tech giants, has demonstrated remarkable resilience amidst the recent market volatility. Over the past two months, MSFT has outperformed its peers, managing to maintain a relatively stronger position.
However, despite its robust performance, there are still key levels and patterns to watch for in Microsoft’s price action. The worst-case scenario for MSFT would be a retest of the 416 level, aligning with the anticipated ABC Zigzag target. A breach of this support level could signal further downside potential and a more prolonged consolidation phase.
Conversely, for MSFT to exhibit bullish momentum and potentially embark on a significant uptrend, it’s imperative for the stock to hold firm at the 416-418 support range. If MSFT can consolidate around this level and subsequently break the resistance at 428, it would pave the way for a powerful 3rd wave rally.
The Elliott Wave Theory suggests that 3rd waves are typically the most dynamic and extended waves in a five-wave pattern, often resulting in substantial price gains. Therefore, should MSFT manage to clear the 428 resistance level decisively, the subsequent 3rd wave could indeed be a “monster,” driving the stock price significantly higher.
From a long-term perspective, my forecast for MSFT remains bullish, with a target range of 680-700. This target is derived from the Elliott Wave principles and represents a potential significant upside from the current levels.
In summary, while MSFT has demonstrated commendable resilience and strength in the face of market volatility, it remains crucial to monitor key support and resistance levels for potential trading opportunities and to manage risk effectively. A successful hold above the 416-418 support and a subsequent break above 428 could set the stage for a formidable 3rd wave rally, aligning with a long-term bullish outlook with a target range of 680-700.
As always, it’s essential to combine technical analysis with prudent risk management and stay abreast of market developments to make informed trading decisions.
