Back in the black: Strategy’s returns to profit on bitcoin holdings after $76,000 surge
Bitcoin climbs above its 100 day moving average, while Strategy moves back above its 200 week trend level.
What to know:
- Bitcoin’s move above $76,300 marks its first decisive breakout since the early February selloff, with price now firmly above its 100 day moving average.
- Strategy is back in profit on its bitcoin holdings and trading above its 200 week moving average, for the first time since February, signaling improving long term momentum
- Nasdaq 100 has closed higher for twelve consecutive sessions.
Bitcoin briefly traded as high as $76,700 on Feb. 4 before continuing lower. A later recovery attempt on March 17 also stalled at $76,013, making the current breakout above $76,300 more notable.
The breakout also carries positive implications for Strategy (MSTR), the largest publicly traded holder of bitcoin. The company is now back in profit on its bitcoin holdings, with an average purchase price of $75,577.
MSTR is also trading above its 200-week moving average, a long term trend indicator that smooths price data over roughly four years and currently stands at $151.
Meanwhile, broader equity markets have been on a strong run. The Nasdaq 100 has risen for twelve consecutive trading sessions, from March 31 through April 16, pushing both the Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500 to new all time highs.
