Why I Expect $MSTR at $40ish in 8-12 Weeks

*Note: This is my assessment and opinion. I place high probability on this coming to pass, but there's always a chance that it does not.*

While Strategy management is running around like a headless chicken and changing strategies like one changes underwear, I believe $MSTR is lining up for another leg down.

Simply because Strategy's fortunes are tied to those of Bitcoin at the hip, and Bitcoin is showing signs of keeling over:

Both the technicals and liquidity suggest it's time for Bitcoin's next leg down. Perhaps the final leg down, before it starts bottoming. (Yes, these measures are reliable; you can see track record of this [here](https://x.com/NitherDither/status/2073565617399939150) on X.)

Here's a sensitivity table based on BTC price and mNav, given the current balance sheet:

(The negative numbers are mathematical - at that point, MSTR starts being priced like an option.)

Based ON Bitcoin's expected trajectory, I expect MSTR to hit **$40ish** in the next **8-12 weeks**.

Ironically, the saving grace is the $4.65B in **USD** reserves. Without it, MSTR would be in the teens if Bitcoin fell more than half. You can see that effect here:

What invalidates this? Bitcoin finding a bottom sooner, and even starting to move up. Which will happen when Treasury yields fall, and there is a major liquidity pump. Hard to see that without a recession, and there are few signs of that.

So I feel pretty comfortable with this prognosis. At least directionally.

Positions: None yet; will initiate with MSTZ next week.
