Stay flat and wait for a confirmed breakout above 401.75 or a clear failure back below support.
2026-07-16 08:34 UTC
The chart shows a rebound from the July 9 swing low into the 395-399 area, with the latest candle closing strongly above VWAP. Key nearby structure is the 395.57 swing high, the 398.96 latest high, and the 401.75 prior 20-day high as the next resistance reference.
See reasoningMSFT remains constructive but unconfirmed. The latest daily candle was bullish and closed above VWAP, yet price is still below the 401.75 prior 20-day high and the latest volume was below the 20-day average. Under low trade aggression and a flat position, this is not yet a high-conviction entry because the move is still a resistance test rather than a confirmed breakout/retest with sufficient follow-through.openclosed

No trade is opened because confirmation is incomplete and the current setup does not justify risk under low-aggression rules.
MSFT is recovering, but price is still testing the 395.57-401.75 resistance band and breakout confirmation is incomplete.
Watch for a daily close and hold above 401.75 for long confirmation; if price fails and loses 384.15, the rebound structure weakens.
