Microsoft hits new all-time high of $481 ahead of Juneteenth
Microsoft hits all-time high at $481 as investors bet on AI growth
Microsoft stock reached another milestone on Wednesday, climbing to a fresh all-time high at $481 per share, slightly above the earlier week’s peak of $480.7.
The upward movement came on the back of rising volume and a resilient broader market response to macroeconomic and corporate developments. While early trading saw a slight dip to $474.5, the dip was quickly bought up, as the market absorbed news about Microsoft's strained relationship with OpenAI and turned its focus toward macro drivers.
Highlights
-Microsoft hit a new all-time high at $481 before retreating into a narrow range
-Bullish structure is intact as 50 EMA and higher lows continue to support the trend
-Investor focus is on macro resilience and AI-driven growth rather than OpenAI tensions
One of the most impactful developments was the Federal Reserve’s hawkish pause, which strengthened the dollar and initially introduced some tension to equity markets. However, major tech stocks, including Microsoft, managed to advance, indicating investor confidence in large-cap balance sheets and continued growth prospects even in the face of tighter monetary policy. Microsoft stock rallied by 1.35% off the low, extending its bullish streak, before profit taking caused price to pull back into a narrow five-day range just above 473.3 support.
Microsoft stock price dynamics (June 2025)
Technically, the stock is still forming higher highs, and the series of higher lows remains intact, supported by the 50 EMA on the 1-hour chart. This pattern confirms a steady upward trend structure despite the consolidation. The rally's pause on Wednesday likely reflects short-term exhaustion rather than a reversal, especially given that volume increased during the push to new highs.
Microsoft stock extends higher lows pattern as 50 EMA supports upside trend
Today, being the June 19 Juneteenth holiday, U.S. equity markets are closed. However, the broader setup for Microsoft continues to favor further upside once trading resumes. The short-term RSI sits in bullish territory, and the rising EMAs across intraday timeframes continue to offer a supportive structure.
Investor sentiment appears to have shrugged off Microsoft’s internal tensions with OpenAI, placing more weight on the company’s market leadership and ongoing AI-driven revenue growth prospects. If momentum carries forward into the next session, another attempt at clearing resistance above $481 could open the door to new price discovery.
Microsoft hit a record high at $480.8 before sellers locked in gains near resistance. Concerns over OpenAI ties triggered a 0.9% drop as price slid toward the 50 EMA support.
