Microsoft Corp. stock price extended its bullish momentum into Friday’s premarket session, building on Thursday’s breakout that briefly pierced the previous all-time high. The current rally has now lifted Microsoft stock above the $470 psychological barrier for the first time, cementing a new record high and reinforcing the stock’s short-term upward trajectory.
- Microsoft stock hit new all-time high above $470 in premarket session today.
- Stronger-than-expected jobs data and easing U.S.-China tensions fuel bullish tone.
- Weekly gain climbs to 2.2% as RSI stays near overbought and trend eyes $480.
The strong upward push early Friday records a 0.6% premarket gain, which was initially sparked by easing trade tensions between the United States and China. However, the decisive trigger came from the latest U.S. nonfarm payroll report, which showed stronger-than-expected job growth.

The actual figure of 139,000 came in above the forecast of 126,000, although slightly below the previous 177,000. This surprise print lifted market sentiment and supported major U.S. equities, including Microsoft. The stock responded by surging past its Thursday high of $469.6 and above the $470 resistance zone.
Microsoft posts all-time high as RSI flirts near overbought territory
From a technical perspective, Microsoft’s breakout has invalidated the prior ceiling of $468.5 which had capped price action since July of last year. Thursday’s session had already hinted at bullish strength after the stock reversed from a low of $464 to close just under the record level at $467.7. Friday’s move higher confirms renewed buying momentum despite overbought conditions on the daily RSI, which now point to stretched valuations. Yet investor appetite appears undeterred as Microsoft logs its seventh consecutive daily gain.
Market capitalization has now approached $3.5 trillion, temporarily reclaiming Microsoft’s status as the world’s most valuable public company. The seven-day winning streak has also lifted the week-to-date gain to 2.2%, indicating a solid start to the month of June. If the bullish momentum continues, traders could look toward the $480 region as the next target for buyers.
Overall, the combination of improved macro data, positive trade signals, and strong price action above key technical thresholds suggests Microsoft stock is in a firm bullish phase, despite caution signals from momentum indicators.
