Microsoft: Daily Read | 2026-10-20

Microsoft (MSFT) closed the last session near $533.52, 0.8% higher and holding in the upper half of its one-month range. The one-month average sits near $521.82, and price is above it, so that line is the pivot the two-way traffic keeps returning to. Momentum has firmed over the last two weeks, roughly 1.6% up, leaving the structure as a clean uptrend, price above both its one-month and longer averages. The levels that matter are $551.15 overhead, the past month’s swing high, about 3.3% above here, with $491.10 below as the shelf that has held, roughly 8.0% down; the $540.00 and $530.00 round numbers are the nearer handles. Zoom out and the last three months have ranged between $373.28 and $551.15, which frames the bigger picture. For now the tilt is bullish: a close above $551.15 would open room toward $561.15, while losing $491.10 would put $373.28 back in view.

Key levels: support $491.10 (8.0% below), resistance $551.15 (3.3% above), one-month average $521.82, three-month range $373.28 to $551.15.
