Microsoft shares opened the week of August 17, 2026, near $490 after closing at $495.40 on August 14, with intraday trading reflecting heightened volatility following the July 29 fiscal Q4 earnings beat. Revenue reached $90 billion, up 18% year-over-year, driven by 27% growth in Microsoft Cloud, while adjusted EPS of $4.74 exceeded consensus by a wide margin. Traders are monitoring the stock’s proximity to key moving averages and support near recent lows around $480 amid broader tech sector rotation and ongoing capital expenditure commitments for AI infrastructure. No major company-specific catalysts are scheduled this week, though upcoming macroeconomic releases and sector rotation dynamics could influence closing levels relative to any threshold. Market-implied odds incorporate these fundamentals alongside historical base rates for weekly price moves in large-cap software names.

If the two specified prices are exactly equal, this market will resolve to "No".
Closing prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
If Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) does not trade at all during the regular session of the final trading day of the week, the market will resolve 50-50.
For a standard full trading session, the closing price refers to the Pyth "Close" value of the 1-minute candle corresponding to the final minute of regular trading hours on the primary exchange. If the relevant session is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the Pyth "Close" value of the 1-minute candle corresponding to the final minute of that shortened session will be used.
If the relevant day has no valid Pyth Close value for the 1-minute candle corresponding to the end of regular trading hours on the primary exchange, the market will use the last valid Pyth price achieved during the regular trading hours of the primary exchange as the effective closing price. If no valid Pyth price exists for that trading day due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption, the official closing price published by the primary exchange on which the listed security trades will be used to determine the closing price for that day.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed security during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth. The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Pyth after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market will be Pyth, specifically the "Close" values for the relevant 1-minute candle for Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.MSFT%2FUSD.
