MicroStrategy Scoops Up $4.6 Billion of Bitcoin, Buy Opportunity?

MicroStrategy (MSTR), the world’s largest corporate Bitcoin (BTC) holder, once again gathered significant attention from crypto enthusiasts. On November 18, 2024, Michael Saylor, the founder and chairman of MSTR made a post on X (formerly Twitter) that the firm had acquired a significant 51,780 BTC, worth $4.6 billion.

MicroStrategy’s $4.6 Billion Bitcoin Purchase

This acquisition took place when BTC was trading near $88,627. As of now, MicroStrategy’s BTC holding increased to 331,200 with an average price of $49,874.

MicroStrategy’s recent acquisitions will potentially attract whales, investors, and retailers, as they presented a potential buying opportunity despite BTC’s price.

At press time, BTC is trading near $89,770 and has experienced a price drop of over 1.10% in the past 24 hours. During the same period, its trading volume increased by 22%, indicating heightened participation from traders and investors despite the price consolidation.

Bitcoin Technical Analysis and Upcoming Level

According to expert technical analysis, BTC has been consolidating in a very tight range between $86,000 and $91,870 for the last six days. However, technical indicators such as the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) and Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggest a potential upside rally in the coming days.

Based on recent price action, a breakout from the consolidation zone will determine BTC’s direction in the coming days.

If the asset breaches the upper level of the consolidation zone and closes a daily candle above the $91,870 level, we may see notable upside momentum. Conversely, if BTC breaches the lower boundary of the consolidation zone and closes a daily candle below the $86,000 level, we may see a price decline to $80,000 or even lower.
