Is the 'Tail' Wagging the 'Dog'?
In the world of investing, there's an old saying about the tail wagging the dog. In this case, the tail seems to be MicroStrategy (MSTR), and the dog is Bitcoin (BTC). We've noticed a significant shift: MSTR's key level breaks are now preceding Bitcoin's. This suggests that understanding MSTR's movements could provide valuable insights into where Bitcoin is headed.
MSTR's Critical Level to Watch: $330
MSTR is currently hovering just above a crucial medium-term support level at $330. If this level breaks, it could signal a much larger downside risk. Recently, Bitcoin followed MSTR's lead after its last key level break, and we believe there's a strong chance it will do so again if MSTR falls below this next critical point.
The Broader Economic Picture
It's not just about technical levels. The macro environment is also playing a major role. The market has recently priced in one fewer interest rate cut from the Fed for 2025. Fewer cuts, or the risk of more hikes due to persistent inflation, pose a significant threat to non-yielding assets like MSTR and Bitcoin. This makes it even more important to monitor their key lower levels for potential weakness.
What is a 'Slice' Break?
For us, a 'slice' break is the confirmation we need. A slice break is when a key level is decisively breached, offering a clear warning of a likely continuation in the direction of the break. When we see a slice break on MSTR's chart, it's a strong signal that further downside could be ahead for both MSTR and Bitcoin.
