Narrative

4h trend is clearly down: lower highs, lower lows, and the Feb gap-down/high-volume break shifted MSFT into a weaker structure. On the 1h, recent bounces have been shallow and repeatedly sold from lower levels, with price now pressing back under the 390 pivot after failing to reclaim the 398-400 supply zone. 390 is the immediate breakdown area; a clean trade is short at/just under that level, with the thesis wrong on a reclaim above 395-396, where the latest intraday breakdown leg would be negated. First target is the next support around 382.5, near the late-Feb swing area. Options flow leans net bearish overall, which supports but does not drive the setup.

Put Spread: Bearish continuation setup with defined risk. Buying the 390 put and selling the 380 put in the April 10 expiry gives two extra weeks for swing follow-through into the next support zone while reducing premium outlay versus a naked put.

Long Put: Simpler bearish expression if expecting a sharper flush through 390 and into the low-380s. April 10 gives enough time for a swing move without the immediate decay of front-week contracts.
