Morgan Stanley’s multi-timeframe squeeze after earnings beat
Hey Gang,
You know what?
I’m looking at Morgan Stanley right here around $140-141, and man, this thing just looks really, really good to me.
I think everyone’s either avoiding financials or they’re chasing the obvious plays, and MS just sits here after delivering a solid earnings beat with these beautiful squeezes building all over the place.
And I’m like, okay, this is exactly what I want to see.
What’s Got My Attention
So MS has got fresh squeezes firing from the 10-minute all the way up to the 78-minute charts.
Plus we’ve got a brand new daily squeeze that just triggered. And when I see multiple timeframes all squeezing at once, I think that’s when you get the really explosive moves, you know?
It’s like having springs compressed at every level – when they all start releasing in the same direction, that’s usually when you get something really nice.
But here’s what really gets me excited – we’ve got stacked EMAs on both the daily and weekly.
That tells me institutional money is positioning for higher prices. When you see EMAs stacked like this, it means the trend structure is healthy and there’s momentum building underneath.
I think this is exactly the kind of setup I love to find.
The Earnings Beat Nobody Cares About
And here’s what kills me – MS just reported better than expected results. Wealth management added $59 billion in net new assets, $43 billion in fee-based flows. Total client assets hit $8.2 trillion.
That’s real money flowing into their wealth management business – the sticky, high-margin stuff that drives these banks higher long-term.
But the stock barely moved.
It’s just consolidating right here while building this perfect technical setup. I’m like, okay, this is where I want to be positioned.
Why I Think This Works
Look, I get it – financials aren’t the sexy trade right now.
Everyone’s sitting on the sidelines waiting for perfect clarity or they’re chasing momentum somewhere else. But I think that’s exactly why MS works here.
When you’ve got solid fundamentals meeting clean technical momentum and nobody’s paying attention, that’s usually when the best moves happen.
The earnings beat gives institutions a reason to add exposure. The multi-timeframe squeezes tell me price is ready to move. And those stacked EMAs? That’s smart money already positioned.
I think this is what I mean when I say the market’s cooperating – you just have to be methodical about finding the opportunities.
Your Action Plan
I’m watching for MS to break above this $141 level with volume. Those compressed timeframes suggest energy is building, and when this thing starts moving on the technical momentum, I think that earnings story becomes the narrative that drives follow-through.
This is exactly the kind of setup I’ve been finding while everyone else waits for perfect conditions.
Speaking of earnings, we just had Google and Tesla report. I didn’t trade them ahead of the announcement, but I might trade them this morning.
If I do, I’ll be utilizing this strategy.
