Morgan Stanley reports that Europe's equity rally has surprised many investors.

The firm's Europe Head of Research Product Paul Walsh and Chief European Equity Strategist Marina Zavolock explore potential outcomes of the broadening market. Listeners are encouraged to tune into the latest Thoughts on the Market.

Highlights

  • Morgan Stanley maintains a medium- to long-term bullish structure, despite short-term selling pressure and recent underperformance versus the prior week's close.
  • Major trend indicators on the weekly chart, including MACD and ADX, signal high probability of continued upside momentum.
  • Expect Morgan Stanley to trade between $206.00 and $220.00, with a bullish breakout above $216.16 potentially targeting $222.00 and downside support near $202.00.

Bullish long-term trend as short-term resistance caps gains

Morgan Stanley ($211.72) is trading below the MA-20 ($216.16), indicating short-term selling pressure, but still above the MA-50 ($202.04) and well above the MA-200 ($177.34), which underpins a medium- to long-term bullish structure. The Ichimoku Kijun level on D1 is at $209.99, now acting as immediate support, while near-term resistance is found at the MA-20 ($216.16) and key resistance at the MA-5/MA-10 cluster ($221.21–$220.71). Key supports are the Kijun ($209.99) and MA-50 ($202.04).

Mixed momentum signals as recent decline tests intraday buyer control

MACD on D1 suggests strong upward momentum, while ADX also signals a firm trend, but oscillators present a mixed picture: Stoch RSI is oversold, RSI sits neutral at 50.06, and CCI remains near neutral. BBP on D1 shows overbought conditions, but the forecast remains that buyers hold the upper hand intraday. Awesome Oscillator sits neutral and does not confirm directional trend here. Over the past week, Morgan Stanley is trading at $211.72, just below last week's close ($212.05), reflecting a 0.16% decline at the very bottom of the weekly range. Weekly volatility stands at 7.76%. The tone has been a steady decline from the week’s highs.

High upside probability as major weekly trends favor bulls

For the coming week, the expected trading range is $206.00 to $220.00, remaining well above the 52-week low ($135.26) and within reach of the 52-week high ($229.88). With all W1 major trend signals (MA-50, RSI, ADX, MACD) forecasting "Buy", the probability of a further rise is very high (more than 80%), making a decline much less likely. The baseline scenario is for sideways movement between $206.00 and $220.00. A bullish breakout above MA-20 could trigger a push toward $222.00 and challenge the yearly highs, while a bearish break below immediate support ($210.00) could open the way toward the MA-50 near $202.00.
