Strategy’s stock MSTR printed one of the rarest bullish reversal signals in technical analysis, the “Abandoned Baby,” on its daily chart, hinting that a brutal downtrend may be running out of steam.
Key takeaways
- MSTR’s rare reversal pattern suggests rising odds of a sharp rebound.
- Bitcoin volatility remains the key downside risk.

Why is Abandoned Baby turning MSTR bullish?
Abandoned Baby forms after a sharp downtrend and consists of three candles: a long bearish candle, a small indecision candle that gaps lower and a strong bullish candle that gaps higher, leaving the middle candle “abandoned.”

“Studies and big quant firms show it’s one of the most reliable reversal signals available. In simple terms: it’s the market’s version of a unicorn.”
How high can MSTR prices go next?
MSTR charts displayed the Abandoned Baby pattern after witnessing a multimonth downtrend, during which its rates plunged by around 66% from their 2025 peak, reaching $155.61 on Monday.

The macro backdrop strengthened the bullish case for MSTR, with traders pointing to multiple technical confirmations.

On Wednesday, analyst Lark Davis highlighted the appearance of a hammer candle near the lows and an oversold relative strength index (RSI), both of which typically signal seller exhaustion and a shift in risk-reward back to the buyers.

He added:
“MicroStrategy has finally reached a level where the risk-to-reward is starting to lean heavily to the upside. Lots of bearish sentiment surrounding this name lately, which could provide an opportunity when many are scared.”

Downside risks remain if Bitcoin turns volatile again, particularly if spot ETF inflows cool or December rate-cut expectations fade, a setup that would likely hit MSTR harder.
