Morgan Stanley stock extends weekly losses with sellers in control amid oversold conditions
Morgan Stanley slides 3.97% today

Morgan Stanley addresses the ongoing pressures in the world’s energy market in a new episode of its 'Thoughts on the Market' podcast.

Highlights

  • Morgan Stanley trades well below key short- and medium-term moving averages, signaling strong downside momentum despite a preserved long-term uptrend.
  • Bearish momentum dominates with multiple technical indicators in deeply oversold conditions and sellers driving prices to the bottom of the weekly range.
  • The expected price range for the coming week is $192.00 to $210.00, with high probability of a rebound if $200.00 support holds.

Head of Commodity Research Martijn Rats and Global Head of Fixed Income Research Andrew Sheets appear on the program. They discuss factors driving energy market pressures beyond renewed tensions in the Middle East.

Downside pressure dominates as price nears key support boundaries

Morgan Stanley is trading at $203.19, which is well below the MA-20 ($217.71) and MA-50 ($213.41), but remains significantly above the MA-200 ($183.60), signaling strong short-term and medium-term downside pressure yet preserving a long-term uptrend structure. The Ichimoku Kijun level on D1 is $219.49, which sits above the current price and should be considered immediate resistance; near-term support is found at MA-50 ($213.41) and key support at MA-200 ($183.60), with immediate resistance at MA-20 ($217.71) and key resistance reinforced by the Ichimoku Kijun ($219.49).

Persistent oversold conditions amid consecutive weekly declines

Momentum has shifted negative, with both MACD and ADX on D1 pointing to neutral to weak momentum, while RSI (44.64), Stoch RSI (3.31), CCI (−100.26), and BBP (−2.53) all flag an oversold market with sellers firmly dominating intraday. The Awesome Oscillator also confirms a bearish tilt. Morgan Stanley has fallen $11.23 (5.24%) over the past week, trading at $203.19—down from a prev_week_close of $214.42—positioned at the very bottom of its weekly range. Weekly volatility stands at 5.84%, reflecting a steady decline from the weekly high. In today’s session, the stock is sharply lower by 3.97%, extending this recent weakness.

Strong rebound likelihood as technicals favor limited downside

For the coming week, the expected price range is $192.00 to $210.00—anchored comfortably above the 52-week low ($136.17) and below the 52-week high ($232.25). Given a "Buy" for all W1 indicators (RSI, ADX, MACD, MA-50), the probability of a price rebound is very high (more than 80%), with downside risks less likely. The baseline scenario sees the price consolidating between $192.00 and $210.00. A bullish scenario could develop if resistance at $213.00 is broken, pushing towards $217.00–$220.00, while a bearish scenario unfolds if support at $200.00 fails, opening room to retest $192.00 and possibly MA-200 at $183.60.
