Analysts warn MSTR could fall to $120 as bearish charts form and Peter Schiff criticizes MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin-focused strategy.

MicroStrategy shares remain under pressure as analysts point to further downside risk.

Bearish technical signals have emerged while criticism of the company’s Bitcoin-focused strategy has intensified. Market participants continue to link the stock’s performance closely to Bitcoin price movements.

Analysts Flag Technical Weakness in MSTR Stock

Several market analysts have identified a bearish setup forming on MicroStrategy’s weekly chart.

Chartered Market Technician Aksel Kibar pointed to a long-developing topping structure. He stated that the pattern suggests further downside continuation.

Based on the chart projection, he estimated a potential move toward the $120 level.

Kibar also noted that the stock has broken below a multi-month support band. Recent price action shows lower highs forming across successive swings.

These technical signals often reflect weakening momentum and reduced buyer participation.

At the time of writing, MSTR was trading near $146, according to TradingView data. The stock rebounded slightly from a recent 52-week low near $143.

Despite the rebound, shares remain down more than 7% year-to-date.

Longer-Term Bottom Still Unclear, Analysts Say

Other analysts have focused on longer-term cycle behavior. Market analyst Ted Pillows observed that MSTR has lost its prior monthly upward trend.

He added that the stock is now trading below key trend and momentum indicators. This positioning suggests limited near-term strength.

Crypto analyst Benjamin Cowen referenced historical cycle data for MicroStrategy. He noted that the previous major cycle required 98 weeks to reach a bottom.

Using a comparative model, he suggested a possible cycle low could form around late 2026 if the pattern repeats.

A trader known as The Great Mattsby identified a nearer technical level of interest around $130.

The zone was derived using Fibonacci retracement levels and horizontal support. Traders continue to watch this area for potential price reactions.

Schiff Criticizes Bitcoin Strategy as Losses Mount

Economist Peter Schiff renewed criticism of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin treasury strategy.

In a post on X, he stated that MSTR shares are nearly 70% below their peak. He attributed the decline to the company’s heavy exposure to Bitcoin.

According to Schiff, the company spent more than $52 billion acquiring over 700,000 Bitcoin.

He cited an average purchase price above $76,000 per coin. Schiff added that the company reported an unrealized loss of $17.44 billion during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Schiff also compared Bitcoin performance with gold. He said the firm’s reported gains from Bitcoin over five years were limited. He argued that gold would have delivered stronger results.

Schiff added that central banks continue to favor gold as a reserve asset, citing its historical role during periods of market stress.

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision

The post Cryptos Signal Divergence Ahead of Fed Rate Decision appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto assets send conflicting signals ahead of the Federal Reserve’s September rate decision. On-chain data reveals a clear decrease in Bitcoin and Ethereum flowing into centralized exchanges, but a sharp increase in altcoin inflows. The findings come from a Tuesday report by CryptoQuant, an on-chain data platform. The firm’s data shows a stark divergence in coin volume, which has been observed in movements onto centralized exchanges over the past few weeks. Bitcoin and Ethereum Inflows Drop to Multi-Month Lows Sponsored Sponsored Bitcoin has seen a dramatic drop in exchange inflows, with the 7-day moving average plummeting to 25,000 BTC, its lowest level in over a year. The average deposit per transaction has fallen to 0.57 BTC as of September. This suggests that smaller retail investors, rather than large-scale whales, are responsible for the recent cash-outs. Ethereum is showing a similar trend, with its daily exchange inflows decreasing to a two-month low. CryptoQuant reported that the 7-day moving average for ETH deposits on exchanges is around 783,000 ETH, the lowest in two months. Other Altcoins See Renewed Selling Pressure In contrast, other altcoin deposit activity on exchanges has surged. The number of altcoin deposit transactions on centralized exchanges was quite steady in May and June of this year, maintaining a 7-day moving average of about 20,000 to 30,000. Recently, however, that figure has jumped to 55,000 transactions. Altcoins: Exchange Inflow Transaction Count. Source: CryptoQuant CryptoQuant projects that altcoins, given their increased inflow activity, could face relatively higher selling pressure compared to BTC and ETH. Meanwhile, the balance of stablecoins on exchanges—a key indicator of potential buying pressure—has increased significantly. The report notes that the exchange USDT balance, around $273 million in April, grew to $379 million by August 31, marking a new yearly high. CryptoQuant interprets this surge as a reflection of…
