Will MSTR Stock Price Rally as Bitcoin Nears $74,000?
Highlights
- The MSTR stock has rallied alongside Bitcoin today, recording a gain of over 5%.
- Analyst James Van Straten indicated that the stock could still see another leg as it faces a key test at the 200 WMA.
- MSTR may also need to reclaim the $160 level before a bullish reversal occurs.
The MSTR stock price is up today, rising as much as 5% as Bitcoin approaches the psychological $74,000 level. Amid the stock’s rally, experts have provided analysis on whether it is likely to sustain this momentum or could see another leg down.
Will The MSTR Stock Sustain This Rally?
In an X post, market analyst Cole said that MSTR’s daily trend may flip starting today and through the rest of the month. He noted that this is “insanely bullish” because this trend indicator hasn’t flipped since July 2025.
The analyst added that if the MSTR stock price can get a clean retest of $141 to $142 from its current level, it could create a massive launchpad to $165 to $170 over the next 45 days. His analysis comes amid a rally for the crypto stock today.
TradingView data show that MSTR is trading at around $144, up over 5% today, and reached an intraday high of $149 earlier today. The stock is mirroring Bitcoin’s performance, with the leading crypto rising to almost $74,000, up over 3% today.
Despite today’s rally for the MSTR stock price, market analyst James Van Straten suggested that the stock isn’t yet in the clear and could still see another leg down. He noted that the stock looks to be facing another rejection at the 200-week moving average at $148. He added that MSTR may need one or two more attempts to break through this resistance.
The analyst had previously noted that MSTR stock tested the 200WMA three times in 2022 over five months before decisively breaking through that level. It is worth noting that Bitcoin continues to face resistance at the $70,000 range, and so, another decline for the leading crypto could drag the stock lower.
MSTR Showing Strength
Market analyst Luca noted that the MSTR stock price has broken above the 1D Bull Market Support Band, which has been a strong reversal point over the last couple of months and is a clear sign of strength. However, the analyst remains cautious, stating that the best approach at the moment is to maintain a more defensive stance until the stock reclaims $160, the lost high-timeframe support level.
The analyst noted that if the price manages to break above this lost high-timeframe support range, the most likely outcome would be a continuation to the upside. His accompanying chart suggested that the Strategy stock could rally to at least $200 if it reclaims this $160 range.
In the meantime, Michael Saylor’s Strategy continues to increase its Bitcoin exposure, despite currently sitting on an unrealized loss of almost $3 billion, with the company’s average buy price at $76,000. Short interest in the MSTR stock has surged as investors continue to bet against this BTC strategy.
Market analyst Yimin noted that the MSTR stock price is currently facing resistance near its 50-day moving average. However, he added that it could break this level and rise to $180.
