I have done in the past used the MACD of the weekly chart of any chart.
The cross of the signal line can give reasonable indication of a change
of trend. Of course nothing is perfect, but I consider that it is useful
enough. This is just from visual observations as I have never tested it
by back test.
Sorry I do not know what MSFT or INTC are.
Cheers,
Graham

Shall I understand from your reply that you speak for individual
weekly MACD, ie you watch MSFT weekly MACD to investigate the MSFT
trend and a separate weekly MACD for INTC and so on?
I try to speak gor the Market trends, in general.
