The MSCI World Index gained nearly 24% in 2023, and so far in 2024, it has returned an average of 18.86%. The MicroStrategy stock has surged 220.64% year-to-date.
The stock’s Relative Strength Index, orRSI, was just above 70 as of this writing, as per Trading View, suggesting overvaluation. Interestingly, Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE:WFC), which is also part of the index, had a higher RSI of 76.13.
This prediction comes in the wake of Schiff’s earlier suggestion to MicroStrategy’s founder, Michael Saylor, to purchase the large quantity of Bitcoin that the U.S. government planned to sell. Schiff’s recommendation was made in jest, following the U.S. government’s decision to liquidate 69,370 BTC it had seized from the dark web marketplace, Silk Road.
