Market Drivers: Bernstein reiterated Microsoft's AI upside, noting valuation remains below historical levels with potential 30%+ upside. OpenAI's new Private Safety Processing preview keeps Microsoft-backed AI narrative hot despite token-price competition.
Technical Analysis: Volume of 28.69M shares vs. 1.43 volume ratio signals robust participation. RSI(6) at 77.56 enters overbought, while RSI(12) at 71.36 confirms bullish momentum. MACD remains negative (-6.65) but DIF (19.92) is curling toward DEA (23.25), hinting at an early bullish crossover attempt. KDJ shows J-value at 103.68, extremely stretched.
