Microsoft: Daily Read | 2026-10-21

Microsoft (MSFT) closed the last session near $531.87, 0.3% lower and holding in the upper half of its one-month range. The one-month average sits near $523.51, and price is above it, so that line is the pivot the two-way traffic keeps returning to. Momentum has gone quiet over the last two weeks, roughly 0.5% 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 3.6% above here, with $491.22 below as the shelf that has held, roughly 7.6% 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 mixed: a close above $551.15 would open room toward $561.15, while losing $491.22 would put $373.28 back in view.

Key levels: support $491.22 (7.6% below), resistance $551.15 (3.6% above), one-month average $523.51, three-month range $373.28 to $551.15.
