MSFT – Nice to see it back above 340. Beautiful chart. Monthly R1 resistance level is at 344.92 which is more or less where MSFT topped out in November. We probably see it churn a little but if market direction is up it will punch through and we are looking at dare I say a 360 target with R2 at 359.24.
