Charting Microsoft’s Journey: Microsoft embarked on its recent uptrend on March 6, solidifying it on March 14 with a higher high. Prior to this, Microsoft meandered horizontally until March 11, hinting at a nascent uptrend within that pattern by carving a higher low at $401.26.

• Today, Microsoft aims to etch a doji candlestick, potentially signaling the peak. A bearish reaction to the Fed’s announcement might nullify the uptrend, birthing a new downturn.
• The bulls’ yearning for Microsoft to ride a bullish wave post the event is palpable. An ascent above the March 14 high-of-the-day would retain the uptrend, eliminating any historical price resistance for Microsoft.
• At present, Microsoft confronts resistance at $427.82 and the psychologically significant $430 level, with support entrenched at $412.65 and $398.01.
