But is a practical short-selling opportunity on the horizon?
Microsoft remains in a downtrend and has been making lower highs and lower lows since late 2021. If you exclude the rally in late March/early April, Microsoft hasn’t been able to eclipse its 50-day moving average for much of 2022. So with $279.68 the line in the sand (which is only 2.6% above the June 7 close of $272.50) are Microsoft’s days numbered?
If so, the April 2021 highs and the June 2022 lows of roughly $263.32 are next-level support. And if that breaks, the February 2021 highs and the May 2022 lows of roughly $246.77 are next in line. Interestingly, Microsoft has also recorded a “death cross” where its 50-day MA has crossed its 200-day MA from above. Moreover, it’s the first time the ominous pattern has shown a material gap since 2015.
Should we expect a reversal near the 50-day MA? Or is Microsoft poised for a bullish breakout?
Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
