Bottom line
MSTR Technical Analysis Summary
MSTR remains in a pronounced downtrend on the weekly chart, trading below its SMA20, SMA50, and SMA200 with weak momentum and a negative MACD histogram. The daily chart shows a rebound attempt: price has reclaimed the SMA20 and the MACD histogram has turned positive, but the stock still trades below the SMA50 at 107.43 and the SMA200 at 153.92. After falling roughly 77% from its 52-week high of 414.36, MSTR sits near the bottom of its 52-week range at 4.52% of that range. Key support is at 89.21 (20-day low) and 81.81 (60-day and 52-week low). Resistance is at 104.60 (20-day high), 107.43 (SMA50), and 193.00 (60-day high). Elevated volatility driven by Bitcoin price correlation remains a defining feature of the stock.

Daily (August 6, 2026)
- Trend
- Neutral to Bearish. Price at 96.85 holds just above the SMA20 (96.13) after the recent rebound, but remains below the SMA50 (107.43) and well below the SMA200 (153.92). The stock has bounced off the lows, yet the longer-term downtrend structure from above 400 to near 82 is still intact.
- Momentum
- Neutral. RSI14 at 46.82 sits in the middle of its range. The MACD line at -2.85 is still below zero, but the histogram has turned positive at 1.39, signaling that downside momentum is slowing and a base may be forming.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 6.21 equals 6.41% of price, reflecting the high volatility typical of MSTR, driven by its correlation with Bitcoin. Bollinger Bands (90.83 to 101.44) are wide, and price is trading in the upper half of the bands after the recent rebound.
- Volume
- Below average. Latest volume of 9,995,021 is 67% of the 20-period average of 14,897,316, showing little accumulation pressure on the latest pullback.
Assessment
The daily chart shows a rebound from the 52-week low zone. Price has reclaimed the SMA20 and the MACD histogram has turned positive, but the stock still trades below the SMA50 and SMA200, and the longer-term trend structure remains damaged. A close above the SMA50 at 107.43 would strengthen the recovery case, while a break below the 20-day low at 89.21 would put the 81.81 support back in play.
Weekly (July 27, 2026 week)
- Trend
- Bearish. Price at 93.28 is below the SMA20 (131.17), SMA50 (184.28), and SMA200 (159.72). The weekly structure remains in a clear downtrend after the sharp decline from the 60-week high of 457.22.
- Momentum
- Bearish. RSI14 at 33.96 is weak and approaching oversold territory. The MACD line at -25.26 sits below the signal at -23.60, with a negative histogram of -1.66 confirming downside momentum.
- Volatility
- Elevated. ATR14 at 22.87 equals 24.51% of price, reflecting very wide weekly ranges during the decline.
- Volume
- Below average. Weekly volume of 79,380,500 is 83% of the 20-week average of 95,561,635, consistent with low participation in the recent bounce.
Assessment
The weekly chart keeps a bearish posture. Price is below every key moving average, RSI is weak, and the MACD histogram is negative. The 20-week return of -33.21% and the 60-week return of -75.09% show the scale of the drawdown, while the 5-week gain of +13.33% reads as a rebound within the downtrend. The weekly picture does not confirm a bottom yet; a sustained move back above the SMA20 near 131 would be needed to change the structure.
