Micron set to report earnings, here is the chart analysis

Gareth Soloway Verified Investing

Micron Technology (MU) is set to report earnings after the bell today, March 18th, 2026. Analysts are expecting earnings of $8.81 on revenue of $19.15 billion. However, the “whisper number” (the number investors are expecting and is priced in) is $9.70 in earnings per share (EPS).

Micron is trading at all-time highs. Just in the last two weeks, MU has spiked 30%. This means the expectations are sky high for earnings, as seen by the whisper number. While Micron will likely hit that number, maybe even beat it, investors will be watching guidance closely, as well as margins.

Based on technical analysis, Micron has minimal upside. After closing yesterday at $461.69, the stock is now trading pre market at $473. There is major resistance at $480, an ascending trend line that goes back to June 2024 and connects through the January 2026 pivot high.

As a technical trader, this is the major resistance level. While earnings are likely to be spectacular, my guess is we hit $480 and reverse, or MU has an Oracle-type bigger pop, but then it puts in a multi-year high. Either way, I am bearish once $480 is tagged.

EUR/USD looks consolidative around 1.1460

EUR/USD stages a modest rebound after slipping to a three-month low below 1.1420 at the end of the week.

Gold slips back to six-day lows, targets $4,100

Gold retreats for the third consecutive day on Friday, eroding gains seen in the first half of the week and approaching the key $4,100 mark per troy ounce.

Breaking: Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz amid ceasefire deal violation

The Iran war didn't break the US economy, but what happens next?

Nearly four months after the start of the Iran war, the US economy remains remarkably resilient. While the conflict initially triggered a severe disruption to global energy markets and a sharp rise in Oil prices, recent diplomatic progress between Washington and Tehran has eased concerns about a prolonged supply shock.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
