Today is Wednesday, March 18, 2026, a FOMC meeting day. Despite macro headwinds from Middle East tensions and surging oil prices, plus negative corporate news regarding Microsoft's potential lawsuit against Amazon/OpenAI (which was likely priced in during Wednesday's session), technical indicators suggest the Nasdaq and MSFT are stabilizing at key support levels. Analysts forecast that the 'bull trend is ready to resume.' Typically, the day after a FOMC meeting (Thursday) favors a continuation of the rebound or relief rally unless the Fed is unexpectedly hawkish. With bad news largely absorbed and technicals tilting bullish, the probability of Thursday's close being higher than Wednesday's is slightly above 50%.

Movers
March 18, 2026: MSFT experienced volatility after the Financial Times reported that Microsoft is considering legal action against Amazon and OpenAI for breaching exclusive cloud agreements, raising concerns about Azure's future growth; volatility was further amplified by pre-FOMC jitters.
March 16-17, 2026: MSFT price rebounded slightly from recent lows as technical support held at the 200-week EMA, and sentiment across the AI sector was lifted by the Nvidia CEO's comments on a new AI project (OpenClaw).
Divergence
Mainstream media and technical analysts currently lean towards a 'buy the dip' and 'trend resumption' bullish view, treating geopolitical and legal disputes as short-term noise. However, if the prediction market pricing reflects a 50/50 or more pessimistic sentiment (due to War/Oil fears), a divergence exists. The market may be underestimating the likelihood of a Thursday rebound given the underlying fundamental and technical resilience.
