Shares of Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) ramped on Tuesday, reaching the highest level since November of last year. Gains came as the stock broke through its 200-day moving average, causing some technical traders to take notice.

Traders also noted a high level of correlation with shares of Intel (Nasdaq: INTC), as the chip maker followed Microsoft higher. Both companies are set to report earnings later this month, Microsoft on April 18th and Intel on April 16th.

This morning analyst at MKM put out a bullish note on Intel, claiming the market has already discounted a soft PC market and a low bar for sales.

Microsoft is higher by 3.8 percent. Intel is up close to 3 percent.
