Highlights

Microsoft and OpenAI revised their partnership with a $38 billion cap on total revenue shares, ending OpenAI’s exclusive Azure requirement.
OpenAI can now partner with other major cloud providers while Microsoft retains a 27% equity stake, altering their long-term strategic alignment.
MSFT trades under key moving averages with mixed momentum signals, showing a higher likelihood of further decline within a $393–$419 expected range.

AI venture reshaped as exclusivity ends amid selling pressure

Microsoft and OpenAI finalized an updated partnership agreement on May 12, 2026, implementing a $38 billion cap on total revenue-sharing payments. The renegotiated contract removes the exclusivity requirement for OpenAI to use Microsoft Azure, giving OpenAI the ability to collaborate with other major cloud providers such as Amazon and Google. Microsoft has maintained its 27% equity stake in OpenAI, while the new terms adjust the long-term operational and financial structure of the AI partnership, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Mixed momentum persists as technical signals diverge below averages

MSFT is currently trading below both its MA-20 at $418.20 and MA-200 at $464.62, while remaining just above MA-50 at $398.68. The Ichimoku Kijun on the daily chart stands at $400.13, providing immediate support. Indicators show mixed momentum: MACD on D1 signals a Strong Buy, whereas ADX is low at 16.99, indicating a weak trend. Daily RSI has fallen below 50 and gives a Sell signal. Stoch RSI and CCI are oversold, accompanied by a deeply negative BBP, indicating sellers dominate intraday momentum. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral, not confirming any direction. After opening with a small gap down from $407.71 to $401.50, intraday trading ranged between $401.36 and $402.89.

Downside risk prevails as rebound probability remains limited

In the coming week, MSFT is expected to fluctuate within a typical volatility band from $393 to $419. The probability of a price increase is low, currently estimated below 20%, making further downside more likely. The baseline outlook is for sideways movement between immediate support and resistance levels. A sustained move above $419 could trigger a rebound toward higher targets, whereas a break below $393 may accelerate declines, reflecting ongoing medium- and long-term weakness.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Microsoft as technically weak with price action below key moving averages. He believes the capped $38 billion revenue-sharing deal and reduced Azure exclusivity bring more stability, but also limit upside for Microsoft in AI infrastructure. Indicators show mixed signals, with momentum skewed negative and intraday sentiment favoring sellers. "Until MSFT sustains a move above $419, the downside risk prevails from both a technical and structural perspective."

Earlier, analysts noted that growing regulatory scrutiny and changes in Microsoft's partnership with OpenAI had introduced new uncertainties for its AI and cloud growth outlook. The latest technical signals and the finalized OpenAI agreement reinforce downside risk, making it critical for traders to monitor the $393 support level as a breach could intensify selling pressure in the near term.
