Microstrategy

BTC = Bout To Collapse I'm not trading bitcoin, but I trade the highly correlated stock Microstrategy. This is a pristine setup before the Asian session punishes Bitcoin for that faux breakout we saw into market close. The downtrend on the daily chart is the dominant trend on BTC right now, and cracked the whip anytime Bitcoin even thought about crossing that downtrend. BTC hit massive daily resistance. Asia rarely breaks resistance overnight. Max pain favors a move DOWN, not up. Dealers are short gamma into the strike zone you’re playing. Your deltas (–0.41) will explode to –0.55 to –0.70 on a gap-down. IV crushed today → will expand tomorrow morning, benefiting you. MSTR ALWAYS overreacts to BTC. Strong Open Interest build at 185, 180 and 175 - temporarily OTM ;) Max pain sits well below current price on MSTR of $186 at $175 Market Makers hedge delta, not max pain The largest Open Interest of call options sit at $190. My prediction for Bitcoin and MSTR for 12/5: BTC opens below 91,400 and MSTR opens below $183 Under $183, Market Makers hedge mildly bearish Under $181, MM's hedge strongly bearish (accelerating fall similar to what we saw today around 2-2:45pm) Under $179, Gamma Squeeze in control - move down accelerates Under $177, MMs forced to short to $175 (current max pain level) Under $175, Max pain magnet realized. If we hit $175 - expect price to be pinned by MMs. Options are pricing in a big downward movement for the overnight session pointing at a 65-70% likelihood of a big selloff.

STRATEGY Mirror crash with 2022 to $60 has started.Michael Saylor won't like this. But the chart is what it is and that's an objective dynamic. ** The 5-year Channel Up and Bear Cycle ** Strategy (MSTR) has been trading within almost a 5-year Channel Up since the February 2021 Top of its previous Cycle. Within this lines, it has had its latest top (Higher High) on the week of November 18 2024 and since then it has been on a structured strong decline. This decline has gotten even stronger once the price broke below its 1W MA50 (blue trend-line). So far, the 2025 correction is mirroring the 2021 one, which was the start of a 2-year (2021/21) Bear Cycle. ** The three Stages ** Based on that, we have valid reasons to expect that 2026 will also mirror the past Bear Cycle. What stands out on this analysis is that we have classified the whole Bear Cycle into three Stages. Based on that, we have now already entered Stage 2 as the price has broken below its 1W MA50 (and should stay as the Resistance for the remainder of the Cycle) and almost touched its 1W MA200 (orange trend-line). When that happened in January 2022, the market rebounded towards the 1W MA50 where it was rejected and when it broke below the 1W MA200 as well, Stage 3 started. This Stage made the Bear Cycle bottom on the 1M MA250 (red trend-line) after a -90% decline in total. It was completed when the price broke above the 1W MA50 again, essentially confirming the start of the new Bull Cycle. ** Where is the bottom now? ** As a result, we may now see a short-term rebound, limited by the 1W MA50, which after it gets rejected and breaks below the 1W MA200, Stage 3 may start. If this Bear Cycle also crashes by -90%, we should then be expecting a bottom at $60 (at least), supported by the 1M MA250 again. Notice also the striking symmetry among the 1W RSI patterns of the two Cycle fractals. The 1W RSI has currently hit the 30.00 oversold barrier (similar to Jan 2022) and it was a second break and then a Higher Lows Bullish Divergence that confirmed the bottom of the Bear Cycle, essentially turning Strategy Inc. into a long-term buy opportunity again. --- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

Why We Loaded $MSTR at $169 (5:1 Risk/Reward to $355)Have you ever watched a stock pull back 65% and wondered if it was opportunity or disaster? Have you ever missed a major setup because fear told you to stay away? This analysis breaks down why NASDAQ:MSTR at $169 presented a textbook geometric retracement opportunity with exceptional risk/reward asymmetry. Hello ✌️ Spend 3 minutes ⏰ reading this educational breakdown of structure-based position entry. 🎯 Analytical Insight on MSTR MicroStrategy pulled back from $543 to $169 a 65% retracement that brought price directly into a major accumulation zone. This wasn't random. It aligned perfectly with: Fibonacci retracement from 2020 lows to 2024 highs A long-term ascending trendline dating back to 2020 The monthly $112 support zone that held as a floor Our position entry: $169 Our invalidation level: $131.80 (below structure) Our first target: $360 (previous resistance zone) Risk: $37.20 per share Reward: $191 per share Ratio: 5.13:1 This setup didn't require predicting the future. It required identifying where risk was defined and reward was probable based on historical price structure. 📚 Educational Section: Why Geometric Retracements Work The Psychology of Pullbacks When price drops 65%, most traders experience: Fear that it will continue falling forever Doubt about whether the trend is still valid Paralysis from watching others panic sell Professional traders see the same chart differently: Defined risk at structural support Historical patterns of mean reversion Favorable asymmetry when risk is small relative to potential reward The majority fears what professionals buy. 📉 Understanding Market Structure Markets don't move in straight lines. They: Trend in one direction (impulse) Retrace to gather liquidity (correction) Resume the primary direction (continuation) The 0.618 to 0.786 retracement zone historically shows the highest probability of reversal in trending assets. Why? Early sellers have exhausted Value buyers recognize the discount Risk can be defined tightly below support At $169, MSTR offered: Clear invalidation below $131.80 Multiple timeframe confluence Structural support from prior consolidation 🎯 Why This Entry Made Sense Risk Was Defined Below $169, the next logical support was $131.80. If price broke below that level, the bullish structure would be invalidated. This gave us a clear exit point before entering. Reward Was Probable The previous resistance zone at $360 represented a 113% gain from entry. Even a conservative 50% retracement would target $220+, still offering excellent reward. Structure Aligned Monthly support held Trendline from 2020 intact Retracement zone tested multiple times Volume showed exhaustion, not acceleration 📊 Tools Used for This Analysis Fibonacci Retracement Identified the 0.786 level as a deep pullback zone where buyers historically step in. Trendline Analysis The ascending line from 2020 provided dynamic support that price respected. Volume Profile Showed accumulation at lower levels with decreasing selling pressure. Horizontal Support Zones The $105-110 monthly level acted as a psychological floor, preventing further collapse. Risk/Reward Calculator Entry: $169 Stop: $131.80 Target: $360 Result: 5.13:1 asymmetry 🛡️ Risk Management Framework Stop Loss Below Structure Our stop at $131.80 was placed below the invalidation point. If price reached that level, our thesis would be wrong and we'd exit with controlled loss of $37.20 per share. Position Sizing Based on Risk With $37.20 risk per share, position size was calculated to risk only 1-2% of total capital. This meant even if wrong, the account remained intact. Target Based on Structure, Not Hope $360 wasn't arbitrary. It represented previous resistance where sellers had historically appeared. We planned to reduce exposure at that level. 🧠 Trader Psychology: Why Most Miss These Setups Fear of Catching a Falling Knife After a 65% drop, the brain assumes it will continue. But without defined support, there's no knife just falling into the void. At $169, support was visible and the stop at $131.80 was clear. Recency Bias The most recent price action (the drop) feels like it will continue forever. Historical structure suggests otherwise, but emotions overpower data. Herd Mentality When everyone is bearish, contrarian positions feel uncomfortable. But the best risk/reward setups rarely have crowd consensus. Waiting for Confirmation Many traders wait for price to "prove" itself by moving higher first. By then, risk has expanded and reward has diminished. Entry at $169 with $37.20 risk is superior to entry at $250 with $118.20 risk to the same stop level. 📌 Proper Entry Execution We didn't enter the entire position at once: First third at $169 (initial position) Second third at $155 if support retested (average down if structure held) Final third reserved if $140 tested (closer to stop but maximum opportunity) This scaling approach: Reduced emotional pressure Improved average entry if structure tested Maintained discipline through volatility 🏆 What Professionals Do Differently They Don't Chase Momentum Entry at $543 (the top) felt safe because price was rising. Entry at $169 felt dangerous because price was falling. Professionals understand that perceived safety is often maximum risk. They Define Risk First Before asking "how much can I make," they ask "how much can I lose." The $131.80 level answered that question clearly. They Accept Being Wrong If MSTR broke $131.80, the position would be exited without hesitation. No hoping, no averaging down into a broken structure. Wrong is wrong. They Journal Every Decision Entry logic, risk parameters, and target zones were documented before entry. This removes emotion from exit decisions later. 🎯 Key Takeaways ✅ Risk/reward asymmetry matters more than being right: A 5:1 setup allows you to be wrong multiple times and still profit overall if position sizing is consistent. ✅ Structure defines opportunity: Random entries have random outcomes. Entries at defined support with clear invalidation have statistical edges. ✅ Emotions are the enemy: When $169 felt scary, that was the signal. When $543 felt safe, that was the warning. ✅ Patience beats prediction: We didn't predict $169 was the bottom. We identified it as a zone where risk was small ($37.20) and reward was large ($191). That's enough. ⚠️ Important Disclaimers This analysis is educational and reflects a specific position entry based on technical structure. It is not financial advice or a recommendation to buy or sell MSTR or any security. Position entries, stop losses, and targets are shared for educational purposes to demonstrate risk management principles. Your risk tolerance, timeframe, and capital allocation should differ based on your individual circumstances. Past price structure does not guarantee future performance. MSTR could have broken $131.80 and invalidated this setup entirely, resulting in a controlled loss. Not all setups work, which is why risk management exists. Always conduct your own analysis, consider your risk tolerance, and consult with a financial professional before making investment decisions.

Saylor’s Master Plan at Risk? MSCI Drops the HammerMSCI May Exclude Crypto-Heavy Companies: What It Means for MicroStrategy and the Market MSCI recently published a proposal that could dramatically reshape how global indices treat companies with large crypto exposure. According to the framework, companies holding more than 50% of their market capitalization in digital assets may be excluded from national and international indices. This sounds technical - but the consequences are huge. What This Means in Practice If the rule is implemented, companies like MicroStrategy, Bitfarms, Marathon, Hut8, Coinbase, or any firm holding a large percentage of crypto on their balance sheet, may: be excluded from major indices, lose exposure to institutional investors, be off-limits for pension funds, insurers and conservative hedge funds, face reduced liquidity and forced selling. This is not a small development. This is a structural shift. 🧩 Why MicroStrategy Is the Most Exposed MicroStrategy’s business model has been extremely straightforward: issue new shares raise debt (including convertible notes) use the proceeds to buy Bitcoin rising BTC → rising MSTR rising MSTR → more borrowing capacity A perpetual loop. But if MSTR gets excluded from key indices, the loop breaks: passive funds must sell institutional investors face compliance risk liquidity dries up volatility increases borrowing costs rise And remember: MicroStrategy currently trades below the fair value of its Bitcoin holdings. A forced outflow amplifies the structural imbalance. ⚠️ Why Institutions Bought MicroStrategy Instead of Bitcoin Many funds legally cannot buy Bitcoin. They also cannot buy high-risk crypto exchange stocks like Coinbase. But they can buy: reputable corporate debt convertible notes equity from a listed U.S. corporation Michael Saylor gave them a regulatory loophole: “Want Bitcoin exposure? Buy my convertible debt. If BTC rises, convert the notes into shares.” This workaround is now cracking. Convertible Debt Holders Are in a Tough Spot If MSTR is excluded from indices: index funds sell → share price drops falling price → convertible notes lose value institutions holding the debt face losses the balance sheet risk increases This is why regulatory decisions matter so much. Insider Selling: VP of Bitcoin at MicroStrategy Sells ~$19.7M Worth of Stock The timing is… interesting. Started selling on September 18 Sold options-based shares in multiple lots Continued selling until November 14 Total realized profit: ~$19.69M Selling into regulatory uncertainty is not random behavior. It’s a signal. Key Takeaways 1. MSCI’s proposal changes the rules: companies with >50% crypto exposure may become “non-indexable”. 2. MicroStrategy’s core model—borrowing to buy BTC—depends on institutional inflows. Index exclusion disrupts it. 3. Convertible note investors may face severe pressure. 4. Insider selling suggests internal awareness of structural risk. 5. If MSTR is removed from indices, forced selling could create significant downside pressure. 📉 Conclusion MicroStrategy has long been a “Bitcoin ETF before ETFs existed”. Institutions bought MSTR because they couldn’t buy BTC directly. But now: Bitcoin ETFs exist, regulations are tightening, index providers are updating risk frameworks. MicroStrategy may become a victim of its own success strategy. Best regards EXCAVO

Strategy: Downward Pressure Intensifies Strategy has continued to develop downward pressure as anticipated since our last update, bringing it closer to the targeted low of the turquoise wave 2. Our alternative—and now grayed-out—Target Zone has been breached to the downside, allowing us to remove the alternative scenario of a premature breakout to the upside. Investors who speculated on this alternative and entered within the alternative Target Zone with a stop 1% below the lower edge have likely been stopped out by now. For now, we are still allowing some room for turquoise wave 2 to move lower; however, it should find its bottom above the support at $102.40 to set the stage for wave 3 to advance further above the resistance at $674.18.

$MSTR bounce above $300 before falling further?Ever since Early October, MSTR has been falling. We've now reached the bottom of a flag structure and I'd expect a bounce here before we fall further. I think the most likely path from here is that we see a rally into the $300 zone, however, it's possible that we can go up to the top of the flag before falling further. That said, if we get a rally, it'll be a rally you want to sell because eventually I think we're heading down to the $100 level before you want to become a long term buyer. I've marked off key resistances on the path up to take profits on a long, should the rally play out from here.

Microstrategy is who Satoshi warned us about. MSTR has broken below the 50 day moving average and is now at 52 weeks low. All while they hold the most bitcoin they ever have, now at 641,000 BTC. Some would even say they are trying to corner the market, using debt - while they claim they will never sell, but also they are not even earning any yield on their holdings. They will owe over $600 million in dividend payments next year. You simply can not create value out of thin air. NASDAQ:MSTR

Strategy's Premium is Gone. Time to Load? 4 months ago, I posted that NASDAQ:MSTR premium was unsustainable and the stock price would drop. Since then, the price dropped by 50%!! Now, Strategy's is close to zero, and I flip my views on it. If you like this kind of trade, it might be a good time to start DCA'ing it. Note that Strategy continues to be a highly volatile stock, more volatile than Bitcoin itself. Finally, the stock is now at a technical resistance level. You can keep an eye on the premium/discount of this stock by looking at my 2 indicators: Market to NAV Premium Arbitrage Alpha Indicator , and Asset Premium/Discount Monitor

Strategy Inc (MSTR) – High-Beta Bitcoin Proxy at Key SupportStrategy Inc NASDAQ:MSTR has delivered another strong quarterly report, underscoring its continued commitment to aggressive Bitcoin accumulation. With over 158,000 BTC on the books, MSTR has firmly positioned itself as a leveraged proxy for Bitcoin, offering equity traders indirect crypto exposure. This bold balance sheet strategy has also pushed MSTR into alignment with S&P 500 inclusion criteria — a potential catalyst if index inclusion materializes. Technically, the stock is now retesting a key support zone between $228 and $233. This level has historically held well and may offer a high-conviction entry for those anticipating a BTC rebound. Should Bitcoin aim for new highs, MSTR could respond with outsized upside, though traders must account for the volatility and downside risks that come with crypto-correlated equities. 🎯 Trade Setup: Entry Zone: $228 – $233 Take Profit Targets: $360 and $535 Stop Loss: $198 This setup offers a high-risk, high-reward opportunity. As always, manage position size carefully and watch BTC price action for confirmation.

MSTR still in wave 4 rangeNASDAQ:MSTR Price is still in a wave (IV) which are expected to be long and drawn out, yet shallow which is what we have here. I don’t expect wave (V) to kick in until Bitcoin moves. Wave (V) has an expected of the R3 daily pivot at $1039 but will overextend if Bitcoin does. Price has fallen out of the lower channel boundary and sitting at the weekly pivot, still above the weekly 200EMA so the outlook us bullish. wave (4) may complete at the 0.236 Fibonacci retracement at $203. For now I am waiting to see what happens before entering but believe good opportunities are setting up. Safe trading

MSTR Hidden Leverage: What Happens When the Cycle Turns?When a company builds its balance sheet around Bitcoin, it becomes more than a software firm — it turns into a leveraged bet on BTC itself. That’s exactly what MicroStrategy (MSTR) has done. And while this strategy paid off massively during Bitcoin’s uptrend, the same dynamic could become a serious liability when the cycle shifts. 1. The Amplified Correlation MicroStrategy’s market cap is now deeply tied to the value of its Bitcoin holdings. As BTC rallies, MSTR tends to outperform — sometimes doubling the percentage moves of Bitcoin itself. But this also means that during downtrends, the drawdowns can be brutal. In previous cycles, MSTR lost more than 80% of its value as BTC corrected. 2. The Nature of Hidden Leverage Unlike traditional leverage through debt or derivatives, MSTR’s “leverage” comes from balance-sheet exposure. The company has repeatedly issued convertible debt and used the proceeds to buy more Bitcoin. In other words, the stock is effectively a leveraged vehicle on BTC — but with all the operational and financing risks of a public company layered on top. 3. When Sentiment Shifts During bull markets, investors pile into MSTR as a regulated way to gain exposure to Bitcoin. But when risk appetite fades, the same crowd exits just as fast. That double pressure — falling BTC and capital rotation out of crypto — can trigger violent selloffs. MSTR’s liquidity amplifies this volatility even further. 4. The Structural Risk At current levels, MSTR’s valuation is heavily dependent on BTC maintaining or expanding its price range. If Bitcoin consolidates or enters a deeper correction, the company’s debt-fueled exposure could start to weigh heavily. This is where the “hidden leverage” shows its downside. Leverage without leverage only works… until the market reminds you that it’s still leverage.

BTC — Bitcoin: Macro x ETFs x Hashrate → Real Flow, Real Volatil⭐️ BTC — Bitcoin: Macro x ETFs x Hashrate → Real Flow, Real Volatility Buy/Hold bias long term; short-term: correction likely in September (seasonality), with bear target ≈ $88,000 in my playbook. 🔥 Latest headlines (spot check) 🔸BTC back near $111K as risk assets bounce to start September. 🔸Hashrate sets a fresh record (~1 zettahash/s 7-day avg); a >7% difficulty hike is expected within days. Network is the strongest ever, but miner margins tighten. 🔸U.S. spot BTC ETFs show renewed net inflows (e.g., +$333M on Sep 2 across funds). Flows remain a key daily demand gauge. 🔸MicroStrategy (now “Strategy”) bought more BTC last week (~4,4k coins; holdings ≈ 636.5k BTC)—ongoing corporate bid. 🔸Europe angle: a Winklevoss-backed bitcoin treasury firm plans an Amsterdam listing, signaling appetite for listed BTC exposure in the EU. 🗓 Near-term event & data catalysts (September) 🔸Fri, Sep 5 — U.S. Jobs (NFP, Aug) at 08:30 ET. Labor softness would bolster rate-cut odds and risk appetite; a beat could do the opposite. 🔸Wed, Sep 11 — U.S. CPI (Aug) at 08:30 ET. Inflation surprise drives real-rate expectations → BTC beta. 🔸Tue–Wed, Sep 16–17 — FOMC + press conference. Policy path & dot plot = macro volatility for BTC. Fri, Sep 26 — Options/Derivs expiry: • Deribit monthly BTC options expire 08:00 UTC (last Friday rule). • CME Bitcoin monthly options settle Sep 26 as well. These expiries often amplify gamma flows and spot-vol. Early Sept — Next difficulty adjustment likely >7% up (tightens miner economics short-term). Medium-dated overhang Mt. Gox creditor deadline: Oct 31, 2025. Any schedule/details update could swing “supply overhang” narratives. 📈 Flows & on-chain/market structure 🔸ETF flows remain the cleanest real-time demand proxy; watch daily creations/redemptions. 🔸Sustained positives tend to align with spot strength; outsized outflows can weigh on price. 🔸Network health is stellar (ATH hashrate), but rising difficulty + a softer tape can pressure high-cost miners → potential miner selling into weakness. 🔸Corporate treasuries (e.g., Strategy/MSTR) keep adding on dips—bullish signal for supply absorption on red days. 🧠 Seasonality & tone check September is historically a weak month for BTC (average ~−3% to −4% since 2013), which fits the current “pullback/mean-revert” setup. 📣 Social/flow buzz (signals, not noise) 🔸ETF flow posts (Farside, Bloomberg desks) are getting traction again—watch after U.S. close for prints. 🔸Saylor/Strategy buying headlines keep the “corporate bid” narrative front-and-center. 🧭 Levels & plan (author’s framework) 🔸Bias: Long-term constructive; near-term: correction mode likely extends through September (seasonality + event risk). 🔸Bear target: $88,000 (where I’d expect volatility to attract responsive buyers). 🔸Invalidation for bears (tactical): A strong reclaim/close above ~$113K–$115K with improving 🔸ETF inflows would weaken the pullback thesis. 🔸Sizing: Respect macro data days (NFP/CPI/Fed) and options expiry week—expect higher realized vol. 🗺 What to watch next (checklist) 🔸Daily U.S. spot BTC ETF flows (post-close updates). Momentum if creations persist; caution on redemptions clusters. 🔸Sep 5 — NFP (Aug) 08:30 ET. Risk-on if soft; risk-off if hot. 🔸Sep 11 — CPI (Aug) 08:30 ET. Headline/core surprises steer the FOMC tone. 🔸Sep 16–17 — FOMC + presser. Watch guidance on cuts, balance sheet, and growth. 🔸Sep 26 — Deribit & CME monthly expiries. Positioning/“max pain” dynamics into that Friday. Difficulty adjustment (early Sept). If >7% up as projected, monitor miner behavior/sell pressure.

MSTR: Trend ContinuesSince our last update, MSTR extended its sell-off. We still expect the low of this wave to form above the support level at $153.49. Once wave 2 is complete, we anticipate a strong wave 3 rally pushing above resistance at $674.18. Our alternative scenario assumes a different wave count: in this case, price may currently be developing the magenta wave alt. to the upside (probability: 30%). This count would be confirmed by a direct move above resistance at $430.50.
