MSTR is trading below its 200-day MA ($143.95) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 71.7, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of -64.7% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 85.2%). The current 67.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
