Chart targets
Support at the Ichimoku Kumo top (~ 7.40 – 7.50) on 1 H & daily – this is your “buy zone.”

Initial upside to 8.10–8.30 — where yesterday’s 5 min candles peaked and the daily cloud resistance sits.

Secondary target ~ 9.00 — prior swing high from last December.

CSP entries (May 16)
Sell the 7.50 puts CSP's

Only do this if MSTU holds 7.40–7.50 on an intraday pullback.

Keep a stop if price closes below 7.30 on 30 min.

Alternatively, stagger 7.25 & 7.00 strikes to pick up extra premium if you want deeper support.

MSTR (MicroStrategy) – Earnings on May 1
Date: May 1, 2025

Street consensus: +$0.06 EPS vs prior miss of –$3.03.

Social sentiment: extremely polarized – Bitcoin bulls are hopeful a beat will turbo-charge the stock, but skeptics point to ongoing cash burn and debt load.

Plan:

Stay size-light into the print.

Look for a volatility crush post-earnings to sell short-dated calls (or buy deep ITM CSP) if you’re neutral-to-bullish.

If they beat and BTC holds above 95 K, MSTR could rip back toward its January highs near $540 – but that’s a multi-day swing, not today’s game.

Risk Management:

MSTU CSP: don’t sell more than 1/2 your normal size—earnings skew implied vol across the board.

News watch: any Tweet from Michael Saylor or a surprise Bitcoin ETF update can blow these levels out in minutes.
