Microsoft just did what every impatient trader hates… after a massive rally, the candles are shrinking, emotions are rising, and here comes the correction everyone said ‘couldn’t happen.’ Today I’ll show you—using pure supply and demand—why MSFT is being magnetically pulled back into the monthly demand imbalance like a toddler to a candy shop. No fundamentals, no drama… just price action, imbalances, and patience. Let’s dive in.
After Apple’s strong monthly correction setup, Microsoft (MSFT) is showing the exact same pattern — but even cleaner.
This is what I love when I teach traders to learn to trade stocks using pure price action and supply and demand imbalances. You don’t need news, earnings, or any guru opinion — everything is already priced in at the higher timeframes. Just like I explained in the Supply and Demand Free Course , the bigger timeframes tell you what the professionals already did months ago.
Let’s break it down.
Microsoft printed a new monthly demand imbalance of around $402.
From that level, price exploded with huge, wide-bodied candles — the classic footprint of institutional accumulation. No retail trader buys like that. That’s pure, clean imbalance.
You could almost hear the buyers saying:
“Move out of the way… we’re taking this to the sky.”
And they did.
Fast-forward to mid/late 2025:
This is classic momentum decay. This is exactly when most traders start acting emotionally:
But price action never lies — we’re simply seeing exhaustion after a massive markup.
Microsoft is now dropping as expected. The magnetism of demand is pulling price back toward the $402–$345 area — the fresh monthly imbalance displayed on the chart you provided.
This is the same pattern as Apple:
This is textbook Set & Forget methodology.
Price is simply returning home. And home is the imbalance.
Demand is not in control on the big picture, but we’re in the retracement phase.
That means:
Let price come to the monthly demand imbalance.
We wait.
We observe.
We don’t chase.
This is why I always say trading is an exercise in patience, not intelligence.
Based on pure supply and demand:
✔ Price continues correcting lower
✔ Retraces to the monthly demand around $402
We don’t care about AI hype, Copilot, OpenAI deals, earnings, or inflation. Price action already priced all of that in when the monthly imbalance was created.
