Analytics

Crypto analyst IncomeSharks believes shares of Strategy (MSTR) could see a major rebound this year after their historic price collapse.

He argued for a potential move toward $200 in what the analyst describes as a ‘worst-case scenario.’

According to the analysis shared on X, the stock appears to be forming a base after a prolonged downtrend. For context, MSTR traded as high as $457 in July 2025. With the price at $134 today, it has fallen by more than 70% from its peak.

Key Points

Analyst IncomeSharks says Strategy (MSTR) could rebound toward $200 as the stock attempts to stabilize after a steep decline.
MSTR has fallen over 70% from its $457 peak in July 2025, but strong support around the $110–$120 range remains intact.
The analyst believes a Bitcoin rebound toward $80K could improve sentiment and trigger a sharp recovery in MSTR shares.
If momentum returns, MSTR could rally toward the $230–$240 resistance zone, implying roughly 70% upside.

Strategy (MSTR) Recovery Prospects

IncomeSharks’ chart highlights a key support zone near the $110–$120 range, where the price bounced in August 2024. The rebound from that level sent MSTR to its 2025 all-time high. Notably, the price touched the $110 range in early February 2026 before slightly recovering to its current position around $134.

Specifically, a move back to $200 from there, as IncomeSharks projects, would represent a sizable recovery of nearly 50% for the Bitcoin-focused company.

Key Resistance Around $235

The chart also points to a major resistance area near $230–$240, marked by a blue horizontal line. IncomeSharks suggested that if momentum returns, MSTR could rally toward that level, which would represent roughly 70% upside from the current price region.

This level previously acted as support during earlier consolidation phases in 2025 before the stock broke down during the broader crypto market decline.

Bitcoin Recovery Could Drive the Move

The analyst tied the potential recovery largely to the outlook for Bitcoin. If Bitcoin rebounds toward $80,000, sentiment around crypto-linked equities such as Strategy could improve quickly.

Strategy is widely viewed as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure because the company holds a large amount of $BTC on its balance sheet under the leadership of Michael Saylor. Notably, the company holds 738,731 $BTC as of today, worth over $51.42 billion.

At press time, Bitcoin trades at $70,010, and a recovery to $80,000 would require just over a 14% price increase.

Notably, like MSTR, Bitcoin is also trading at a steep discount from its 2025 peak. After falling 44%, market watchers believe a rebound is possible, but ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East could delay that prospect.

Regulatory Developments Also in Focus

IncomeSharks also referenced the possibility of the Crypto Clarity Act passing in the United States. Clearer regulatory rules could boost institutional confidence in the crypto sector and increase discussion around initiatives such as a Bitcoin strategic reserve.

The analyst speculated that if regulatory clarity arrives and Bitcoin recovers, the probability of such a reserve concept emerging could rise to around 50% by 2027.

Ultimately, the chart suggests that MSTR may be attempting to stabilize after months of decline, with the $200 level seen as a realistic upside target if crypto market momentum returns.
