Microsoft spent the last two days of the week churning a weak ‘mechanical’ buy signal. It is considered weak because the pullback to the green line where we typically do our buying followed a high along c-d that barely reached the midpoint Hidden Pivot, let alone the ‘sweet spot’ midway between p and p2.  How the stock treats the signal has consequences for the broad averages, since the company trades with a value of around $3.6 trillion. If MSFT dips below c=464.89 without punching through p, that would add to the evidence that stocks are in a bear market.
