MSFT:


Chart Analysis: 

In my last post on MSFT (14 June), "verdict" is 60% chance it'll decline and it did; tho I recall market might have been bouyant in the first couple of hours and to refrain if so. Nevertheless, it did decline and I'm happy to see some developments for the stock to be worth mentioning again. 

Firstly, to note that candles (see chart above) hit the ceiling of the blue 50 MA, dropped rapidly and reached the bottom of the last bounce. The last candle looks somewhat borderline bullish imo, and it actually 'took out' the last bottom (as if to take out some stop losses (SL) placed by traders). However, there is another slightly lower "bottom" seen at the left side of the chart, which is important to keep in mind. 


Verdict: 

It'll likely do a slight short bounce, regardless whether or not it'll continue upwards or back down, given the highly consistent string of red candles. I did take a look at the daily candles for some additional sensing, even though the weekly candles already contain ample clues (kinda bullish pin + takeout SL pattern). Overall candles look neat too. 

So - small trade for a quick bounce profit and take it and run, thinking of the left side lower bottom that it may be itching to reach. For long term investing, it is a good time to add some shares, given it hit the 200 MA (line not in chart). If the circumstances are not favorable, it might go sideways for awhile or continue the downtrend, despite hitting the famous 200MA. Do note 200 MAs are "super strong" in weekly charts (for certain huge, prominent & successful stocks), so I'll give it a 55-65% chance that it'll go back up in whatever fashion. 

Have a good week ahead :)

US Stock Market Sector (Key Update) - 20 June 2026

 2 Following Tables - 

For week ended 18 June 2026 only (Highest & lowest in red)




Keywords or Headings for the week ended:

1. Oil price sharp decline - eg WTI crude oil price fell below 75 per barrel on 18 June (Fri), from a high of over 80 at the start of the week. 

2. Fed reserve's Hawkish turn + held rates steady at 3.50%-3.75%

3. US-Iran Strait of Hormuz Agreement - MOU signed

Bonus: Nikkei breaches 70,000 for the first time, driven by aggressive interest rate hikes by Bank of Japan & booming demand for AI memory chips -> acting as tailwind for US Tech companies with heavy APAC exposure.

US Stock Chart (MSFT, AMZN) Analysis - 14 June 2026

Hi :)

1. Do keep in mind these are weekly candlestick chart(s).

2. Blue line: 50 moving avg (popular line, imo); Green line: 20 moving avg. 


Microsoft (MSFT) Stock Chart (weekly candles): 

MSFT:

This is a very interesting chart and also challenging to choose the appropriate words for analysis. 

2 big reds - the last one is significantly smaller than the second last -> so a bounce may not be expected yet. Also, noted there is negligible gap between them. 

It bounced away (well) from the 50 MA above, right after a green candle pop; probably to take out some stop losses and the way candles were formed (priorly) it seems that price is paved to go down further more. Keeping the first point in mind above, the way this pans out, to me, it seems like the chart itself 'ain't sure' what's next - probably waiting or already 'ready' for something huge eg news/announcement pertaining to company in session or something else near yet to reveal. I'm just going to focus on the chart. 

Verdict: 

Seeing price is now quite close to horizontal support at the near bottom, 60% chance it'll go further down, significantly. And depending on what's next for the macro/micro factors, it could bounce or go even lower. Super small position if one is taking a quick healthy trade, for min 1.5 week period, with a stop loss of course, above just above the last red bar. Profit (IF) take asap of coz, don't wait. 

Just refrain if the general market is obviously boyuant/very optimistic (wait 1.5 hour, esp if a gradual upslope is observed, must avoid) and is easily link to the fact of some holistic and positive news surrounding the USA (within and externally). Could be fun - do your own due diligence, please. 


AMZN (weekly candlestick): 

AMZN: 

These 2 red bars are quite similar to MSFT's (above). THO, I wouldn't want to trade or do anything with it based on current structure of candles and MAs position. Big no. Just for fun and for conservativeness, I'll say it could go slightly downwards. Big no. 


Have a fruitful week ahead :)

US Stock Chart (AAPL) Analysis & Market Movement - 13 June 2026


Hello. 

1. Do keep in mind these are weekly candlestick chart(s).

2. Blue line: 50 moving avg (popular line, imo); Green line: 20 moving avg. 


Apple (AAPL) Stock Chart (weekly candles): 

AAPL: 

Large (sort of almost overwhelming) red candle after straight series of greens -> highly likely to dip slightly further, first. First test at horizontal level of around $285, before the 2nd test at the green (20MA). 

In my view, this large red, is not that huge with observations of much longer standalone ones that may provide a scenario on eventual further dips. 

So, the price might just bounce (probably weakly) soon, after dipping slightly further. THO, 40% chance it might hit the 50MA blue line. 50MAs are like magnets, unfortunately or not. Heh. 


Verdict: 

Definitely not for trading (coz 20MA is too near) but it may be good for waiting awhile to enter (small position) at sort of a bargain (if you got lucky and it hit the blue line), for a long-term investment. Please do your own due dee. 


Now for some updates in table for the week that ended. Hope this gives some idea of some on-going situations alongside some of the big news out there :) Comparing where the (+) and (-) are, and also noting the largest positive and also negative change helps, I think. 


Top Headings for the week, ended as of 13 June 2026: 

1. SpaceX (SPCX) blockbuster IPO - up by 19.22% (current price: 160.95)

2. Signs of easing US-Iran tensions

3. Hotter-than-expected US Inflation Data


Bonus stuff -> Apple's major upgrade- to deeply integrate advanced machine learning into its consumer ecosystem.

3 US (Tech-related) Stock Charts - Quick Analysis - 3 June 2026

Hi. I was looking at some US stock charts as usual. Crypto is sad. Try not to despair (if any of you guys are deep in the deep) and stay hopeful. I've stopped allocating to crypto some weeks ago. Started to lock-in some tech-related stocks, in addition to current portfolio of S-reits. 

Conversely, my specialty has always been trading short-term. I feel like I need to build nest(s) so. Here goes nothing: 

1. Do keep in mind these are weekly candlestick charts.

2. Apologies that the text at top left corner are blur and my intention is to focus on candlesticks. 

3. Blue line: 50 moving avg (popular line, imo); Green line: 20 moving avg. 


Tesla: 
Optimistic - may go upwards short-term. To be safe, just one nice green one and must take profit before it tops out. In my opinion, it is also a good time to take a small position and keep the share(s) for the long-term (1-3 years). 

Key reason: it has a very nice looking bounce from the 50MA + overall looks of the chart, and of coz it is a great stock imo.  Ps. Do your own due diligence, please.


Nvidia:
No Idea - This is a 50-50 up or down in the next 2 weeks. I don't think it might do the long 'consolidation'. Not touching it. 


Google (Alphabet):

Not looking fine - stock price might go down abit before bouncing anytime, sharply (conjecture). 
Key reason: based on bungee jumping distance to the 50MA + it may bounce at 20MA which coincidentally lines at a horizontal support. 

'Verdict': Good to keep an eye on this chart. 


Needless to say: Anything can happen eg news that brings forth knee-jerk or permanent reaction. If you are trading, stop-loss is a must, especially for hard earned money and for the sake of responsibility. 

I hope the above notes are an easy read and interesting enough. I'll probably do a comparison 1-2 weeks down the road. Have a nice remainder of the week :)
