Buyback uptick and Bitcoin purchases face persistent selling pressure

Strategy expanded its preferred-stock and digital credit securities buyback authorization to $3 billion, with $1.16 billion still available, and repurchased $193.1 million in STRC preferred shares below par to cut dividend costs. The company acquired an additional 517 Bitcoin using proceeds from an at-the-market equity sale, bringing total Bitcoin holdings to about 848,517 BTC purchased for roughly $64.02 billion. Cash and USD reserves remained significant after these actions, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Strategy's recent actions as a defensive maneuver to offset elevated risk exposure from aggressive Bitcoin accumulation. He notes that buybacks and preferred share repurchases cut dividend costs, yet actual share price reaction remains negative and volatility stays high. Kharitonov points to mixed technical signals — with oscillators showing both bullish and bearish biases — as evidence that upward momentum is not yet confirmed. Short-term support at $143.42 is fragile, and resilience above this level is not guaranteed if selling persists. "With conflicting technical signals and ongoing reliance on volatile Bitcoin assets, I believe a cautious approach is warranted until the structure proves more robust."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes Strategy’s enhanced buyback authorization and expanded Bitcoin treasury reinforce a bullish institutional thesis. He sees current price weakness as a temporary reaction, given robust reserves and a history of proactive capital management. Macro conditions and continued digital asset integration support further growth, with the bullish structure remaining intact above long-term moving averages. "I expect the market to reward Strategy’s conviction and anticipate a breakout beyond $147.27 soon."

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, notes that sentiment is split after Strategy’s drop, but short-term technicals suggest opportunity for both reactive bulls and agile bears. Momentum remains mixed, with MACD and BBP signaling strength while AO and CCI inject caution. He observes that a clear short-term direction hinges on whether $143.42 holds or breaks. "I see a tradable range in play — wait for confirmation at key levels before taking sides."

Mixed momentum as bullish medium-term trend counters technical divergence

Trading below its 20-day moving average at $153.11, Strategy remains above the 50-day ($137.69) and 200-day ($135.40) moving averages, signaling a bullish structure over the medium and long term despite short-term weakness. The nearest upside resistance is found at the Ichimoku Kijun level ($147.27), with immediate support present at the session low of $143.42. MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX) both indicate bullish momentum, with MACD showing a 'Strong Buy' bias and ADX a 'Buy' forecast. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands neutral-bullish at 54.65 with a 'Buy' signal, while Commodity Channel Index (CCI) and Stochastic RSI remain neutral, highlighting mixed momentum signals. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is firmly positive at 7.32, suggesting a dominance of buyers and an 'Overbought' condition, whereas the Awesome Oscillator (AO) is negative and provides a 'Sell' forecast, underscoring existing divergences and conflicting short-term signals.

Previously it was reported that Strategy’s expanded buybacks and capital allocation actions accompanied mixed technical signals and ongoing volatility. The current review affirms this view with fresh evidence of continued buybacks and Bitcoin accumulation, while highlighting $147.27 as the critical upside resistance level to watch for a potential breakout in the coming sessions.
