MSTR climbs nearly 6% after bolstered liquidity and steady Bitcoin holdings
Strategy Inc. (MSTR, formerly MicroStrategy) rose 5.62% after the company’s ATM equity offering and preferred stock buyback increased its cash reserves, bolstering balance sheet flexibility. The rebound looks limited, with Strategy trading above the 20-day moving average but still well below its 50-day and 200-day levels, pointing to ongoing medium- and long-term selling pressure.
Highlights
- Strategy Inc. maintained its Bitcoin holdings at 843,775 BTC, opting not to add for five consecutive weeks.
- The company boosted its cash reserves to $3.75 billion, supporting about 2.1 years of preferred dividend obligations and increasing liquidity.
- While shares attempted a minor rebound, prevailing technical signals remain bearish, with a high probability of a move toward the $89.41–104.23 range over the next five days.
Liquidity position strengthens as equity inflow offsets Bitcoin purchase pause
Strategy Inc. did not purchase additional Bitcoin for five consecutive weeks. Between July 20 and July 26, 2026, the company raised about $544.5 million via its at-the-market equity program and allocated $25 million to repurchase its STRC preferred stock. USD cash reserves climbed to $3.75 billion, now covering roughly 2.1 years of preferred dividend payments and enhancing liquidity. Bitcoin holdings stood unchanged at 843,775 BTC as of July 26, 2026.
Sustained downside risk as technical momentum and resistance persist
Strategy is trading above the 20-day moving average at $94.89 but remains well below both the 50-day at $120.57 and 200-day at $163.44, indicating short-term stabilization with persistent selling pressure on the broader horizon. The immediate resistance stands at $98.52, while support is seen at $94.89. A bearish configuration between the 50-day and 200-day moving averages suggests sustained downside risk. Technical signals remain weak: the MACD highlights strong selling pressure, the ADX shows an absence of a clear trend, and both RSI (39.14) and CCI (-58.16) indicate the asset is not oversold but leans bearish. The Bull/Bear Power reading of -2.87 reveals intraday seller dominance with an oversold bias. Stochastic RSI and Awesome Oscillator remain neutral. Strategy changed hands between $94.39 and $98.52 within the day, and intraday volatility reached 4.38%. While recovery attempts were visible, predominant momentum remains bearish, and short-term oscillators warn of increased uncertainty.
Earlier, analysts noted that Strategy’s improved liquidity and prudent capital management were providing reassurance amid a period of market volatility and technical uncertainty. The current analysis reinforces this outlook, but with technical momentum still decisively bearish, traders should watch for a potential downside break below $89.41 as the key risk in the days ahead.
