Price Action Despite some low-time-frame volatility, BTC is broadly flat on the week, down just 1.5% versus this time last week. Figure 1: BTC price has ranged this past week This shows the level of indecision and lack of catalysts in the market currently to move the price in either direction. Over the past 12 months, BTC is now down -14.71% as we approach the year-end. Figure 2: BTC past 12 months. From a technical perspective, although the support level we highlighted several weeks ago has continued to hold (green zone on the chart below), the bounce from that level has been somewhat lackluster to date. A price return to that support level at $85,000 would not be a bullish sign. Figure 3: 1-year moving average target. For bullish conditions to return, the target remains $100,000, where the 1-year moving average is sitting. The 200-week moving average continues to climb up and is now at $56,400. This should provide a strong area of support if price were to drop to that level. The Big Story: Strategy Pushes Back on MSCI Rules Strategy has formally challenged MSCI’s proposal to exclude digital asset treasury companies from global equity indices if digital assets exceed 50% of total holdings. In a letter to MSCI’s Equity Index Committee, the firm warned that the rule would misclassify operating companies as investment vehicles and distort index neutrality. The company argues that digital asset treasury firms operate more like capital markets businesses than passive funds, actively managing assets to generate shareholder returns through equity and debt instruments. Strategy also cautioned that a rigid asset threshold could introduce index instability, forcing companies in and out of benchmarks due to price volatility rather than business fundamentals. Strategy remains by far the biggest public company holder of bitcoin and has continued to add to its stack over time. Their lead in the market can be seen on the Treasury Tracker chart: Figure 4: Strategy (black line) leads bitcoin holdings by some distance. The firm highlighted parallels with other asset-concentrated industries such as energy, real estate, and commodities, noting that these sectors are not penalised for holding dominant asset classes. Analysts cited by Strategy estimate potential forced outflows of up to $2.8 billion should the proposal proceed. The debate comes as Bitcoin briefly slipped below $88,000 over the weekend amid renewed macro uncertainty. Despite the pullback, Strategy chair Michael Saylor hinted at further Bitcoin accumulation, reinforcing the company’s long-term conviction. The pullback in Strategy’s stock price means that since adopting a Bitcoin standard, Nvidia’s stock price has outperformed Strategy’s. However, Strategy is still clocking in a very impressive gain of 1,327%. Figure 5: Strategy performance since adopting bitcoin strategy. With digital assets increasingly referenced in government policy and corporate balance sheets, Strategy urged MSCI to allow the market structure to evolve rather than impose premature constraints on a developing sector. The outcome of this debate could send shockwaves through the market and potentially impact Bitcoin price performance over the coming months. This is definitely a story to follow closely as it unfolds. The Bitcoin Magazine Pro Team.
