The company’s founder, **Michael Saylor**, announced on social media that they will closely monitor this technical indicator and price deviations while managing a reserve of **843,775 BTC**, valued at approximately **$53 billion**. This move is considered a significant signal of institutional-level confidence in the **Bitcoin (BTC)** price. Used in technical analysis to determine long-term trends, this average is known as a support zone where Bitcoin’s (BTC) price has historically remained above it 92% of the time. According to current data, this level is around **$63,770**, while the Bitcoin price is trading at the **$63,000** level, slightly below this average—placing it in a discounted zone. ### A Historical Buying Opportunity for Bitcoin? According to **Kraken** analysts, purchases made when the Bitcoin (BTC) price trades below this average have historically yielded a median return of **113%** in 12 months and **313%** over two years. While the failure to include the **Clarity Act** on the Senate agenda has put pressure on the price in the short term, **MicroStrategy’s** adoption of this metric with its massive reserve could be a harbinger of a potential buying wave. The company’s use of this level as an indicator proves that institutional investors maintain their long-term bullish expectations and view current prices as an opportunity.
