Microsoft shares have consolidated in the $480–$490 range following the late-July fiscal Q4 earnings beat, with revenue reaching $90.01 billion and adjusted EPS of $4.74 against consensus estimates of $87.62 billion and $4.24, respectively, driven by Azure and AI momentum. This performance, coupled with elevated capital expenditure guidance and a subsequent dividend ex-date on August 20, has anchored trader positioning ahead of the August 21 weekly close. With next-quarter results not due until October 28 and no major macroeconomic releases immediately pending, the market-implied odds reflect limited near-term catalysts that could push prices outside the prevailing band absent unexpected shifts in broader tech sentiment or Treasury yields.

If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
Closing prices will be used exactly as published by Pyth, without rounding.
For a standard full trading session, the closing price refers to the Pyth "Close" value of the 1-minute candle corresponding to the final minute of regular trading hours on the primary exchange. If the relevant session is shortened (for example, due to a market-holiday schedule), the Pyth "Close" value of the 1-minute candle corresponding to the final minute of that shortened session will be used.
If the relevant day has no valid Pyth Close value for the 1-minute candle corresponding to the end of regular trading hours on the primary exchange, the market will use the last valid Pyth price achieved during the regular trading hours of the primary exchange as the effective closing price. If no valid Pyth price exists for that trading day due to a system outage, data failure, or other technical disruption, the official closing price published by the primary exchange on which the listed security trades will be used to determine the closing price for that day.
In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, or similar corporate action affecting the listed security during the listed time frame, this market will resolve based on split-adjusted prices as displayed on Pyth. The target price will be adjusted proportionally to reflect any stock splits. Resolution will be based on the historical price data as shown on Pyth after any adjustments have been applied.
The resolution source for this market will be Pyth, specifically the "Close" values for the relevant 1-minute candle for Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) available at https://pythdata.app/explore/Equity.US.MSFT%2FUSD.
