WTI Crude Oil - bearish ranging within negative support value and 17/19 resistance values; 33.29 is the keys for the daily bullish reversal to be started (based on the article)

WTI Crude Oil daily Ichimoku chart by Metatrader 5

  • "The boom-to-bust oil market is experiencing one of its darkest moments in history. Oil demand is collapsing because of the coronavirus crisis. Supply is shrinking -- but not nearly fast enough. The world is literally running out of room to store unneeded barrels of oil piling up during the coronavirus pandemic. That storage problem is so dire that it caused oil prices to turn negative this week for the first time ever. The crash is forcing a reckoning in the oil industry -- a painful one. Many shale oil producers have canceled drilling plans. Others have been forced to shut down active wells. Some frackers won't survive at all."
  • "OPEC, Russia and a group of other oil-producing countries have already agreed to slash production by a record-setting 10 million barrels beginning in May. Market forces are causing non-OPEC producers, led by the United States, to similarly cut output. The shocking collapse in US oil to $-40 added an exclamation point to the problem facing the industry. Oil futures require that holders of a contract take delivery of barrels when the contract expires. But no one wanted to get crude delivered to them in May when storage capacity may run out. Even if it doesn't run out, storage costs have skyrocketed. "Holders of May contracts were effectively willing to pay someone to get them out of their long positions...to avoid being physically delivered crude oil next month," Goldman Sachs analyst Damien Courvalin wrote in a note to clients Monday."

Apple - the price was bounced from 212 bearish reversal level to above for the primary bullish trend to be continuing(based on the article)

Apple share weekly Ichimoku chart by Metatrader 5

  • "Like most companies this earnings season, it will hardly be news if Apple (AAPL) reports earnings this week that its quarter was a rough and tumble one. The likelihood of bad news has been widely reported about the Cupertino giant, including by the company itself. AAPL withdrew its quarterly guidance—which was arguably rather tepid to begin with—weeks ago. Although, to be fair, the company has a history of being conservative with its guidance. But given a Wall Street Journal story this week that the pandemic has become a double whammy for AAPL’s latest iPhone 11—apparently it’s inhibiting manufacturing across Asia and battering consumer demand around the world—investors and analysts may be tuning in more closely to what’s ahead."

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT): the price is crossing 180 resistance to above for the 190 as a next target (based on the article)

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) share Ichimoku weekly chart by Metatrader 5

  • "Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) shares jumped following a massive revenue and earnings beat for its fiscal third quarter. The stock is trading at its highest level since late February before the coronavirus led sell-off. The biggest problem for Microsoft is its ever-growing earnings multiple, which is making the stock more expensive by the day on both an absolute and relative basis."
  • "Revenue for the company jumped by 15% to just over $35 billion, about 3.9% better than analysts estimates. Meanwhile, earnings surged by almost 23% to $1.40 per share and beat estimates by over 11%. The strong results were fuel by the massive growth in its intelligent cloud business unit, which saw its revenue rise by 27%."
  • "Still, the shares jumped following results to as high as $186.50 in the after-hours trading session on April 29, bringing the shares to within 3% of their all-time highs. However, that region may be tough for the equity to jump over as it currently serves as a level of technical resistance. Additionally, it may serve as a bearish indicator, as the stock retest a recent decline below an uptrend. Should shares fall, the next significant level of technical support would come around $161.75."
