Record bitcoin purchase as preferred equity sale fuels accumulation
Strategy disclosed the acquisition of 4,871 Bitcoin for $329.9 million, bringing its total corporate holdings to 766,970 BTC and further cementing its status as the largest publicly traded Bitcoin holder. This latest accumulation was primarily financed by the recent sale of STRC preferred stock, following the launch of a preferred equity offering that raised over $1.5 billion in March. Additionally, STRC achieved a $5 billion revenue milestone, which was highlighted by the company’s CEO.
Bearish momentum prevails as indicators show fading intraday strength
Momentum indicators confirm a weak trend as the daily MACD remains negative and signals Sell, with ADX at a low 12.65 reflecting weak trend strength and lack of clear direction. RSI is subdued at 42.60, CCI is negative, and Stoch RSI is neutral, while BBP at -2.06 points to ongoing seller dominance. There are divergences where short-term oscillators show minor intraday buy signals, but the dominant daily bias is bearish, aligned with the AO and CCI. The session began with a sharp upward gap from $123.72 to $133.67, but the price now sits mid-range between today's $126.81 and $133.82, illustrating high volatility and fading momentum after the open.
Further declines likely as bearish signals dominate short-term outlook
Looking ahead, the expected volatility band over the next five sessions is $124.75 to $132.60. All key weekly indicators (RSI-W1, ADX-W1, MACD-W1, MA-50-W1) signal a bearish trend, with less than a 20% probability of a rise and further losses considerably more likely. The baseline scenario calls for price consolidation between these support and resistance levels. Should MSTR break above resistance at $134.68, a move toward $132.60 is possible, while a drop below $124.75 would suggest additional downside risk.
Earlier, analysts noted that Strategy’s shares remained under persistent downside pressure despite its leadership in corporate Bitcoin acquisitions. The latest trading confirms the continuation of bearish momentum, making sustained consolidation between $124.75 and $132.60 the prevailing scenario for the near term.
