MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) Elliott Wave technical blueprint

Elliott Wave Forecast Team ElliottWave-Forecast.com

MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) remains Bitcoin’s largest corporate holder, driving its stellar performance. Yet while BTC tests all-time highs, MSTR trails 20% below its peak – creating a compelling divergence.. In today’s article, we explore MSTR’s Elliott Wave blueprint and outline the bullish paths that may unfold next.

The correlation divergence

MSTR typically outperforms Bitcoin’s moves, offering traders leveraged BTC exposure. Yet recent months revealed troubling divergence. The chart below shows this decoupling clearly.

Two factors could explain the underperformance:

1. Equity risk premium – Macro concerns weighed on stocks.

2. Liquidity shifts – Capital rotated to pure-play crypto ETFs.

The key metric to watch: 30-day correlation coefficient (currently 0.82 vs. 0.93 historic average).

Elliott Wave structure

MSTR completed a zigzag correction from November 2024, hitting the $240-$192 Blue Box target. The subsequent 5-wave advance into July marked Wave ((1)), establishing $231.51 as critical support. Now, any 3/7/11-swing pullback should complete Wave ((2)) before the next surge.

Aggressive traders note August’s dip may have already finished Wave ((2)). A break above July’s $457 peak confirms Wave ((3)) toward $590-$644.

The key question: Will Wave ((3)) restore MSTR’s leverage advantage?

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
