Dow Jones Software Giant Microsoft, AI Leader Palantir Eye Latest Entries

Major stock indices experienced modest declines during Tuesday's trading session, but several prominent tech and software leaders continue to set up actionable technical patterns near key chart buy points. Microsoft slipped 1.3% during the session, trading roughly 2% below its recent shelf entry level of 513.73. The cloud giant continues to benefit from strong fundamentals, reporting a 27% increase in Microsoft Cloud revenue to $59.3 billion and commercial remaining performance obligations surging 84% to $678 billion, alongside over 30 million paid Microsoft 365 Copilot seats. Other notable software and growth names under watch include ServiceNow, Shopify, and Palantir Technologies. ServiceNow fell 3.5% back into its 5% buy range above a cup-base entry of 139.20. Shopify declined nearly 4% as it builds a cup-with-handle base with a 158.87 trigger. Meanwhile, Palantir held firm above a secondary buy point at 182.44 following an earlier breakout. Market strategists recommend an equity exposure level between 60% and 80%, advising selective allocation toward high-conviction breakouts amidst overall market stability.
