For a company like $MSFT , I'm willing to take a long position on days when the market dips.
It’s not that just because it dropped -4.47% I’m ready to jump in.
When this stock dips to the top of the perpetual leaderboard, I actually take a closer look.
Right now, the perpetual price is $411.33, with an intraday high of $431.14 and a low of $407.3, meaning it’s been getting tossed around all day.
Yet the funding rate is still +0.0000%, and the open interest is just 17,287 contracts.
In my eyes, that doesn’t signal panic; it feels more like someone is using the pullback to rotate positions.
As for $MSFT, I'm not in it for just a quick bounce.
From what I gather, it’s still one of those big platform companies, deeply rooted in its business with strong customer retention. Once the market starts to favor names that can consistently tap into corporate spending, it’s tough for them to get completely tossed aside.
Especially now, the market’s expectations for tech stocks are pretty straightforward: you can be pricey, but you need to keep bringing fresh narratives.
And as for $MSFT , it touches on cloud, software, and AI, so even if some expectations are already priced in, at least it’s not living off just one concept.
There's one more thing I’m keen on.
Today, it still ranks
#8 on Binance’s perpetual gainers list, and
#29 on the trading volume list, with a 24-hour volume of $15.54M USDT.
While it's pulling back, there are still folks trading actively, which indicates it’s not a forgotten name in the market.
That kind of attention is crucial for my trading gut feel.
Of course, being bullish doesn’t mean I’m diving in blindly.
The drop from $431.14 back to $411.33 shows there’s genuine selling pressure up top, and the market hasn’t loosened its grip on valuations for big stocks.
If it turns into a situation where only the contract traders are hyping it up and the spot market can’t keep up, this kind of position can still be a grind.
But if you ask me if I’d just cut it off during this pullback, I won’t.
If it were me, I’d rather treat it as a "strong stock worth tracking further," rather than passing judgment based on one bearish candle.
The market is always shifting; what’s true today might not hold for tomorrow. $MSFT #USStocks
