隨着標準普爾500指數在200日簡單移動均線(SMA)附近交投，看漲的交易員希望該指數能在未來幾天和幾周內確認其熊市週期已經結束。然而，蘋果和亞馬遜的疲軟應該會讓看漲的交易員猶豫不決，因為它們的走勢沒有與標準普爾500指數同步。

The Microsoft Chart: Microsoft has been trading in an uptrend since Nov. 4, making a consistent series of higher highs and higher lows on the daily chart. Microsoft's most recent higher high was formed on Thursday at $256.12 and the most recent confirmed higher low was printed at the $238.21 mark on Tuesday.
微軟排行榜：自11月4日以來，微軟一直處於上行趨勢，在日線圖上連續出現了一系列更高的高點和更高的低點。微軟最新的高點是週四形成的256.12美元，而最近確認的更高低點是在週二的238.21美元關口。
- Over the last three trading days, Microsoft may have printed a bull flag pattern, with the pole formed on Wednesday and the flag forming on Thursday and Friday. If the pattern is recognized and the stock breaks up bullishly from the flag, the measured move is about 6.7%, which suggests Microsoft could climb up toward $266.
- If Microsoft breaks up from its bull flag, the stock will also print another higher high to confirm the uptrend is still intact. If the stock continues to trend lower within the flag and loses support at the eight-day exponential moving average, the bull flag will be negated.
- Microsoft has multiple gaps above on its chart, with the first gap falling between $260.40 and $265.16. Gaps on charts fill about 90% of the time, which makes it likely the stock will rise up to fill the empty trading range in the future.
- Microsoft has resistance above at $256.84 and $263.19 and support below at $249 and $243.
- 在過去的三個交易日裏，微軟可能印製了牛旗圖案，旗杆在週三形成，旗幟在週四和週五形成。如果這種模式被識別出來，並且股價從旗幟上樂觀地反彈，那麼衡量後的走勢約為6.7%，這意味着微軟可能會攀升至266美元。
- 如果微軟脱離牛市旗幟，該股還將再創新高，以確認上漲趨勢仍完好無損。如果該股繼續在旗幟內走低，並在8天指數移動均線切入位失去支撐，牛旗將被否定。
- 微軟在其圖表上有多個缺口，第一個缺口在260.40美元至265.16美元之間。圖表上的缺口填補了大約90%的時間，這使得該股很可能在未來上漲，以填補空白的交易區間。
- 微軟在256.84美元和263.19美元上方有阻力，下方支撐在249美元和243美元。
