MSTRUSDT Perpetual on the 5-minute timeframe shows the current price at ~130.89 USDT (mark price 130.89, last traded 130.92), with a recent -0.93%. This fits perfectly for scalping, as the 5m gives you precision for quick entries, rejections, and micro-movements in such a volatile asset as MSTR (which can easily move 2–5% in minutes when BTC or news drives it).
### Quick analysis of the 5m chart
- Current key zone: The price is consolidating/rejecting around 130.88–132 (dashed line ~132 that was previously support, now near resistance).
- Recent movement: Peak ~136–137, drop to lows ~128, and now partial bounce but with weak momentum (small candles, mix of greens and reds).
- Volume: Lower in this consolidation compared to the previous spike → typical of a pause or possible bearish continuation.
- Real context (Feb 9, 2026):
- Stock spot MSTR ~**128–129 USD** in open market (correcting -4–5% today after the +26% brutal from yesterday Friday).
- BTC ~**69,200–69,800 USD** (bearish -2% approx. today).
- Perpetual MSTRUSDT follows closely (Binance ~131.5, Bitget ~128–129), with some premium/discount.
Bias for scalping now: Neutral-bearish short term on 5m. There is selling pressure post-spike, and without strong bullish volume, the risk of an additional dip towards 128–126 is high. But in scalping, quick bounces or rejections can be hunted.
### Recommended Scalping Setup (based on this 5m)
Main direction: Tactical short – more aligned with the current correction and lack of bullish strength. (Long only on very clear bounces).
Ideal entry for Short (the most precise in 5m):
- 131.20 – 131.80 → Wait for a clear pullback/rejection in the resistance zone ~132 (or just below if it doesn't reach anymore).
- Confirmation: Red rejection candle (shooting star, bearish engulfing), volume increasing on the drop, or rejection of the EMA9/EMA21 in 5m.
- If it has already dropped more (e.g., 130.50), enter on confirmed breakdown of 130.80 with strong red candle.
Stop Loss (tight for scalping – mandatory):
- 132.50 – 133.00 (above the resistance ~132 + cushion for wicks).
- Risk: ~1.0–1.8 USDT (1–1.5% approx. in price).
Take Profits (quick – always close partial):
- TP1: 129.50 – 130.00 → Close 50–70% (quick scalp, +1–1.5%).
- TP2: 128.00 – 128.50 → Close the rest or trailing (recent low zone).
- If it falls hard (BTC dump), aim for 126–127 but move SL to breakeven after TP1.
Minimum Risk-Reward: 1:1.5 to 1:2.5 (sufficient and realistic in 5m scalping).
### Leverage + Isolated (responsible for scalping)
- Leverage: 5x – 8x maximum (ideal 6x). With 10x+ a 2% wick will liquidate you.
- Isolated Mode: Yes or yes, so you only risk what you have in this position.
- Risk per trade: 0.3–0.7% of your total capital (scalping = many trades, do not expose too much per operation).
Practical example (assuming account of 5,000 USDT):
- Risk 0.5% = 25 USDT.
- SL 1.5 USDT away → nominal position ~100–150 USDT with 6x.
- If you win TP1 (+1.2%) → ~90–120 USDT gross profit (less fees/funding).
### Strict rules to not burn yourself in 5m scalping
- Mandatory confirmation: Do not enter without a rejection candle + volume or indicator (e.g., RSI oversold >70 for short).
- Maximum time per trade: 5–15 minutes. If it doesn’t move your way → out manually.
- No more than 3–4 consecutive trades without a break if you lose 2.
- Funding rate: Check if it is positively high (>0.05%) → expensive for shorts, reduce size.
- Monitor BTC: If BTC breaks <68,800, the short gains strength; if it bounces >70k, cancel short and wait for long on dip.
- Daily stop: -1.5% account or +2.5–3% → log out.
### Long Alternative (only if you see clear bullish strength in 5m)
- Entry: Strong rejection of 129.50–130 (big hammer + volume).
- SL: 128.80.
- TP: 131.50 / 132.50.
But right now the 5m chart isn’t screaming long strong; chop or bearish continuation is more likely.
Summary for precise scalping in this 5m:
Short on rejection 131.20–131.80 with 6x Isolated, SL 132.50–133, quick TP 129.50–128. Ultra low risk per trade. Wait for visual confirmation in the 5m candles before entering — discipline is everything in scalping.
