MicroStrategy Price Levels to Watch After Monday’s Surge

10 minutes ago

MicroStrategy (MSTR) shares were slightly lower this morning after jumping more than 10% on Monday.

Shares in the company, which is the world’s largest corporate holder of bitcoin, received a boost after a regulatory filing on Monday revealed that the software firm had purchased an additional 6,911 bitcoins between March 17 and March 23, taking its holding to over 500,000 BTC. MicroStrategy’s accumulation of the digital currency, which began in 2020, has shown no signs of slowing.

Shares of MicroStrategy, which does business under the name Strategy, have gained 16% since the start of the year as of Monday’s close and have more than doubled over the past 12 months as investors turn to the stock as a leveraged Bitcoin bet.

After retracing to the closely watched 200-day moving average, MicroStrategy shares traded sideways for several weeks before finding renewed buying interest. More recently, the stock closed above the 50-day MA on Monday, potentially setting the stage for a continuation of the stock’s longer-term uptrend.

Meanwhile, the relative strength index flashes a reading above 50 to signal bullish price momentum, but also sits below overbought levels, providing the stock with ample room to test higher prices.

Investors should watch major overhead areas on MicroStrategy’s chart around $383, $543, and $870, while also monitoring key support levels near $232 and $180.

The stock was down 0.5% at $334 in recent premarket trading.
