MicroStrategy (MSTR) bearish shift: The case for further weakness

Strategy Inc (NASDAQ: MSTR), formerly known as MicroStrategy,  remains Bitcoin’s largest corporate holder. However, a stark divergence has emerged throughout 2025. While Bitcoin consistently notches new all-time highs, MSTR stock displays persistent weakness and failing momentum. This disconnect signals underlying technical damage.

Today, we analyze the bearish Elliott Wave sequence explaining this underperformance. Our analysis outlines the critical support levels and downside targets if this corrective phase continues.

Elliott Wave analysis

A clear positive correlation linked MSTR and Bitcoin since November 2022. However, this relationship fractured after two years. MicroStrategy peaked at $543 in November 2024. Subsequently, it entered a sideways trend. Meanwhile, Bitcoin continued climbing to new highs. Furthermore, MSTR made new yearly lows. In contrast, Bitcoin held firmly above its April 2025 low.

Chart

The MSTR daily chart shows a confirmed bearish sequence. Since the November 2024 peak, the stock has broken below the February 2025 low. This action confirms a larger double three correction is now in progress.

It completed wave “w” in February 2025. Then, wave” x” bounced higher. Currently, wave “y” remains in progress. Wave ((W)) reached the 61.8-76.4% Fibonacci zone. Consequently, a three-wave bounce in wave ((X)) is likely soon. However, the downtrend should then resume.

Ultimately, the equal legs target lies at $138 – $63. Once this buying area is reached, expect a strong reaction higher. Therefore, investors will likely position for the next uptrend. Ideally, this new rally will begin next year.
