The week that preceded the buy looked different. Bitcoin surged from $67,500 on April 8 to $73,800 by April 10 thanks to Iran-US ceasefire talks, with the rising 50 SMA tracking the rally from below and providing the floor across three sessions.
April 12 ended that. The sharpest red candle of the week printed on the heaviest sell volume since the rally began, breaking price back below the 50 SMA in a single session. The average that had been rising throughout the rally is now curling downward at $71,710, sitting $853 above current price as resistance, not support.
That is the level Strategy needs to reclaim to break even on this tranche.
The RSI bottomed near 28 on April 12, the most oversold reading of the move, and has recovered to 42.43, with the signal line trailing at 40.08. RSI above its signal line is the early shape of stabilization. But 42 with a falling SMA directly overhead is not a recovery setup. It is a market that stopped selling without finding a reason to buy.
Price has since compressed into a $500 range around $70,500–$71,000. Volume has dropped off. The chart is waiting for a catalyst the RSI cannot supply.
If buyers step in or good news on Iran war appear and price reclaims $71,710 with conviction, the compression of the last 24 hours starts to look like accumulation. The RSI has room before overbought. Strategy’s latest tranche moves back to breakeven and the falling SMA becomes a resolved problem rather than an open one.
If the SMA holds as resistance and price breaks below $70,000, a level untested in this move, Strategy’s $59 billion book faces its deepest drawdown since the buying program began. The RSI structure would reset, and $70,000 becomes the new ceiling rather than the floor.
The evidence leans cautiously toward stabilization. The RSI recovered from 28 without retesting the low. Volume dried up rather than accelerating. Compression after a sharp drop more often precedes a retest upward than a continuation downward. But the 50 SMA at $71,710 is not a small ask, it needs to be reclaimed, not just approached.
