Microsoft pops as Q4 results top estimates; Azure tops $100B in revenue
Microsoft's Q4 earnings exceeded market expectations, with Azure revenue surpassing $100 billion. Following the earnings announcement, the stock price surged, creating strong momentum.
This is a point where positive earnings news and a technical rebound coincide. Over the past 7 days, the stock has shown a volatility of -3.0%, forming a pullback; however, with the earnings announcement, the stock price has surged, increasing the likelihood of breaking through resistance levels. The fact that the RSI is in a normalizing range is also a positive sign.
If the stock price breaks through the resistance level of 400 and continues to rise, it is expected to reach the profit target of $410.0. Conversely, if it falls below the support level of 385 and reaches $380.0, we will cut our losses.
The RSI(14) is at a neutral level of 50.2, and the moving averages are in a non-aligned state. The trading volume was somewhat low at 0.68 times the 20-day average.
Past similar success case: On 2026-07-31 at 03:27:52, MSFT recorded a return of 15.5% (News: Microsoft pops as Q4 results top estimates; Azure tops $100B in revenue)
It achieved a remarkable 15.5%, significantly higher than the forecasted return of 6.2%. Although the strong upward momentum driven by positive performance was underestimated, the overall direction was accurately predicted.
Considering the strong volatility and momentum immediately following the earnings announcement, it is necessary to adopt a practice of setting target returns more aggressively by reflecting the trend strength in response to news more sensitively than simple technical indicators.
