Strategy’s Stock At Risk With Bitcoin’s 200-Day MA Below $50,000

In an X post, Tony Severino revealed that every Bitcoin bear market touched the 200-week Moving Average. He further stated that the 200-week MA is currently at $47,000.

Following its latest purchase of 13,390 Bitcoins, Strategy holds 568,840 BTC, which it bought for $39 billion at an average price of $69,287, well above the 200-week MA at $47,000

He indicated that this price decline was almost impossible, which is why he is confident that Saylor’s company won’t have to liquidate its holdings anytime soon

However, experts like renowned economist Peter Schiff have remained critical about Strategy’s non-stop Bitcoin purchase. In his latest criticism, Schiff noted that the company’s next buy would likely put its cost average above the $70,000 mark. He remarked that this isn’t good considering how much they have borrowed to buy BTC. In line with this, the economist warned that paper losses could soon become real losses
