Blow-off continuation reached 466.32 and marked the exhaustion point of the prior advance.
Evidence Gap-up style extension after 05-29 surge, then the following sessions reversed hard and started a sequence of lower highs and lower closes.
382.27 was defended intraday and produced a strong lower-wick rejection, defining the key floor that the market just lost.
Evidence Very small body, long lower wick, and close back near the high of the day after probing below 383.
Bounce high at 401.75 failed to repair structure and became the lower-high pivot before the next leg down.
Evidence Rebound stalled under the 400-402 area and was followed by two bearish sessions, showing weak demand follow-through.
Loss of rebound momentum ahead of support warned that sellers were pressing again into the 382.27 floor.
Evidence Bearish day after the bounce with inability to extend higher and a close back near VWAP, setting up the next session's breakdown.
Wide-range bearish conviction candle closed decisively below 382.27, confirming support failure.

Heavy volume appeared near the first flush into the 390 area, showing active two-way trade and temporary support response.

No position is open and the bucket must enter. The strongest technical evidence favors the short side: MSFT closed at 378.91, decisively below the key 382.27 support, after a weak rebound failed at 401.75. The 06-17 candle was a wide-range bearish conviction bar with almost no upper wick, a close near the session low, below VWAP, and on expanded volume, which supports breakdown acceptance rather than immediate reversal. Although the market is somewhat stretched and could bounce, the provided Stage2 AT snapshot explicitly frames the dominant regime as breakdown and identifies 382.27-390.74 as likely supply unless quickly reclaimed. That makes short the higher-probability forced-entry choice.
Initial stop is set above the broken shelf top at 390.74 to protect against failed-breakdown reclaim. Take profit is set just above the 356.28-365.97 support zone as the nearest logical downside objective.
- 06-17 closed at 378.91, below the key breakdown level of 382.27.
- 06-17 was a bearish conviction candle: open 390.25, high 390.37, low 377.32, close 378.91, with a large body and almost no upper wick.
- The close was near the session low, indicating sellers retained control into the close.
- 06-17 closed below VWAP 383.0388, reinforcing intraday supply dominance.
- The rebound into 06-15 failed at 401.75, preserving the lower-high sequence from the 06-01 climax.
Watch whether any bounce is rejected inside 382.27-390.74. A fast reclaim above 390.74 would weaken the short thesis; otherwise continuation toward 356.28-365.97 remains favored.
