MSTR stock price forecast: $145 support in focus as MSTR slides 4.97%
Strategy Incorporated (MSTR, formerly MicroStrategy) stock is trading at $151.18, down 4.97% on the session. The price remains well below its key moving averages, reflecting sustained pressure from sellers across both short- and long-term horizons.
Highlights
- Strategy executed its first Bitcoin net sale since 2022, liquidating 32 BTC for $2.5 million to fund preferred stock dividends.
- The company increased liquidity by raising $128.3 million through an at-the-market equity offering, resulting in shareholder dilution and reduced Bitcoin holdings to nearly 843,700 BTC.
- MSTR trades below key moving averages with short- and long-term indicators confirming a bearish trend; expected range is $144.00–$162.00, with higher probability of further decline or consolidation.
Share dilution and first bitcoin sale as liquidity and dividend needs grow
Strategy completed its first net sale of Bitcoin since 2022, selling 32 Bitcoin between May 26 and May 31, 2026, for proceeds of about $2.5 million in order to fund upcoming preferred stock dividends. This period also saw the company raise approximately $128.3 million by selling over 800,000 shares through its at-the-market equity program, further increasing liquidity but diluting existing shareholders. As a result, Strategy's total Bitcoin holdings fell to nearly 843,700 BTC, while the cash dividend rate for STRC preferred shares remains at 11.5% with the next ex-dividend date set for June 15, 2026.
Oversold momentum deepens as technical resistance exceeds current price
MSTR is trading just below its 50-day simple moving average ($155.78), with additional resistance marked by the Ichimoku Kijun level at $170.65 and the 20-day and 200-day simple moving averages well above the current price at $173.58 and $207.70, respectively. The nearest support is defined by the lower end of the recent intraday range at $144.95. Momentum indicators show subdued activity: ADX signals a lack of trend, and MACD remains neutral on the daily timeframe. Oscillators highlight oversold conditions, with RSI at 45.80, Stochastic RSI at 19.92 (oversold zone), and CCI at -99.78, while Bull/Bear Power sits at -2.27, underscoring significant seller dominance. The Awesome Oscillator continues to align with selling pressure, and today’s price action includes a gap down open, with the stock recovering somewhat toward the session's end amidst high volatility.
Downside risk heightened as price eyes support in tight range
Over the next five trading days, MSTR is expected to fluctuate within a $144.00–$162.00 volatility band relative to current levels. The likelihood of a sustained upward breakout above resistance at $170.65 remains very low, under 20%. The baseline scenario anticipates price consolidation, with a pronounced risk of further decline if selling momentum persists, particularly if the stock breaks below the $145.00 weekly support.
Previously it was reported that Strategy executed its first publicly disclosed Bitcoin sale signaling a shift in the company's treasury approach amid ongoing preferred stock obligations. With the recent combination of equity dilution and continued selling pressure on the stock, traders should monitor for a potential retest of the $145.00 support, as further weakness could drive accelerated downside in the short term.
