Arthur Hayes attributes the decline to Bank of Japan rate-hike signals affecting yen liquidity during Asia-Pacific trading hours. Nik Algo argues the drop resulted from algorithmic rebalancing at UTC day, week, and month boundaries. Peter Brandt warns the rally structure mirrors historical parabolic cycles that preceded 75% drawdowns.

Saylor's 'Green Dot' Post Fuels MSTR Buyback Talk as mNAV Drops Below 1.0x
Michael Saylor posted a cryptic message on X referencing "green dots" alongside Strategy's bitcoin holdings and equity guidance charts, after the company's market net asset value fell below 1.0x this week. Strategy's published guidance states that when mNAV falls below 1.0x, the firm will "consider issuing credit to repurchase MSTR," prompting speculation the company may shift from bitcoin purchases to share buybacks. Analysts identify $180 as a critical resistance level for MSTR shares, which are currently testing support near $170 following a sharp decline.
