MSFT Elliott Wave weekly hour chart 03.30.2025
The current analysis suggests that Microsoft stock is undergoing a correction in the form of an Elliott Wave Zig Zag Pattern. We can count 5 waves from the peak so far. That implies the pullback is incomplete at the moment — we expect more short-term weakness, another leg down ((C)) black toward the Blue Box.
Our analysis calls an extension toward the extreme zone at the 355.33 area, where we are looking to re-enter as buyers. We recommend members avoid selling MSFT, as the main trend remains bullish. We anticipate at least a 3-wave bounce from this Blue Box area. Once the price touches the 50% fib level against the ((B)) black connector, we’ll make positions risk-free, set the stop-loss at breakeven, and book partial profits.
Quick reminder on how to trade our charts :
Red bearish stamp+ blue box = Selling Setup
Green bullish stamp+ blue box = Buying Setup
