It remains substantially lower than its all-time high of $545.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeking Alpha data shows that more investors are shorting the company, hoping to benefit from its crash. The company\u2019s short interest rose to 12.6%, much higher than last year\u2019s low of 5%.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Short-sellers likely see the stock having numerous red flags. The first major one is the fact that Bitcoin (BTC) could be at risk of dropping to $50,000 in the coming weeks. It has formed a bearish pennant pattern, and the ongoing war in Iran has pushed investors to dump risk assets.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, while Strategy has continued to buy Bitcoin, it has done so by selling its common stock, a move that has led to substantial dilution. Its outstanding shares have jumped to over 310 million from less than 80 million a few years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Strategy has also lost the premium it had a few years ago, with the net asset value falling below 1. At the same time, analysts have continued to pare back their estimates. Mizuho slashed the target from $403 to $320, while BTIG moved it from $630 to $250.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MSTR stock price chart analysis<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Strategy stock chart | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The 12-hour chart shows that the Strategy share price has wavered in the last month. By so-doing, the stock has formed a symmetrical triangle pattern, while the volatility has dropped. The Average True Range, which measures volatility, has continued falling.<\/p>\n<p>A keener look shows that the two lines of the triangle pattern are nearing their confluence. Therefore, this triangle pattern mean that the stock is about to have a big move in either direction in the near term.<\/p>\n<p>In case of a bearish breakout, the stock will likely retest the year-to-date low at $104, followed by $100. On the other hand, a strong bullish breakout may see it jump to the psychological point at $150 and above.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The price of MSTR stock has remained within a narrow range since early February, closely tracking Bitcoin\u2019s performance, which has stagnated between $60,000 and $70,000.
