Analysts Split on MSTR: Will It Drop to $120 or Soar to $750 on BTC Strength?

BTC-1,58%
  • MSTR fractals show past support near $120 and corrective bounces, hinting at recurring trader behavior patterns.

  • Losses are largely non-cash; $50B in bitcoin vs $8.2B debt shields MSTR from balance sheet stress.

  • Analysts target $750 upside if bitcoin climbs, while rallies often act as seller reloads amid volatile swings.

Strategy MSTR stock surged 26% in a single session, climbing from $107 to $135, marking a decisive rebound after recent weakness. Intraday momentum pushed the stock near its session high of $135.67.

Analysts note this rally aligns with fractal patterns observed in MSTR’s previous cycles, hinting at key support near $120.

Fractal Patterns in MSTR Stock

The weekly chart for Strategy MSTR stock displays a familiar structure from prior cycles. The current setup mirrors a past parabolic rise followed by a distribution phase at the highs.

Traders observe that previous support levels have shifted into resistance, acting as a trapdoor for price action. In the last cycle, once MSTR broke below its range floor, downside momentum accelerated.

If this fractal continues to play out, Strategy $MSTR could soon rebound to $260 before rolling over toward $120. https://t.co/hwQ5zMu9BM pic.twitter.com/Vg4ZaPGHHP

Volatility expanded, and price bounces became corrective. Sellers actively defended prior support zones. Current behavior appears similar, suggesting recurring market psychology.

Recent attempts to rally near the $170–$180 range resemble a “dead-cat” bounce. Buyers briefly entered, but supply regained control quickly.

Fractals indicate patterns are driven by trader behavior rather than identical candle formations.

Balance Sheet Strength Amid Losses

Strategy reported a $17.4 billion operating loss and a $12.6 billion net loss in Q4. These losses are primarily non-cash mark-to-market accounting charges due to bitcoin’s price decline.

Benchmark analysts state true balance sheet stress would only occur if bitcoin fell below $8,000 for several years. Management confirmed that none of the debt carries covenants tied to bitcoin prices.

TD Cowen highlighted that MSTR was designed to amplify bitcoin volatility with equity trading around 1.5 times bitcoin swings. Staggered debt maturities and cash reserves reduce near-term forced selling risk.

Analyst Perspectives and Market Sentiment

Analysts from TD Cowen and Benchmark maintain buy ratings for Strategy MSTR stock. TD Cowen views MSTR as one of the most efficient methods for gaining leveraged bitcoin exposure outside ETFs.

The company’s preferred equity business and liquid STRC preferred stock offering an 11.25% dividend also support positive sentiment. Market reactions have shown volatility in response to Q4 earnings.

MSTR shares fell approximately 17% after the report but rebounded 21% as bitcoin moved from $60,000 back above $70,000. Analysts agree that rallies currently serve as opportunities for sellers to reload rather than new uptrend signals.
