Chart Shows $167 Is Make-Or-Break Level

MSTR gained 3.43% in the previous session and is extending higher in premarket trade near $163.60 (+4.10%), stabilizing after a brutal 66% drawdown from its July high around $473.

The stock is testing critical support at $160 while trading below all major EMAs: 20 EMA at $167.63, 50 EMA at $211.77, 100 EMA at $248.24, and 200 EMA at $279.26.

The Supertrend at $181.47 represents immediate overhead resistance.

Recent consolidation near $150-$160 and today’s gap-up premarket action hints at potential exhaustion of selling pressure.

Upside targets: Reclaiming $167 (20 EMA) +6% would signal first reversal signs, targeting $181 (Supertrend). Beyond this, $200-$212 (50 EMA) represents major resistance.

Downside risks: Failure below $150 accelerates toward $140, then $120-$130 catastrophic zone (which is 24% down from lower).
