- Marathon Digital (MARA) stock sprints to the close on Tuesday.
- Crypto stocks boosted by the rise in Bitcoin above $50k.
- MARA stock surges over 10% as retail traders are back.
Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) stock surged on Tuesday as a double tailwind produced impressive results for the stock. The negativity in recent days, which has spread to most sectors of the market, took a break with a bounce for the major indices. The Nasdaq was the biggest gainer, closing up 1.4%, but all stock indices were higher on Tuesday. Added to this for crypto names was the performance of cryptocurrencies after Bitcoin, the crypto leader, breaking and holding above $50,000. This set crypto stocks on a surge with many closing up 5% or more. MARA stock was possibly the most impressive with its 10.59% gain.

Marathon (MARA) stock forecast
$37.72 is the recent high from September 23, and we would really like to see this taken out soon. Otherwise, this has just been another failing spike. MARA did find support at the combination of the 200-day moving average, the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) for the year, and the 100-day moving average. All of these converged around $30, making it a very strong support point to buy dips. Crypto stocks will obviously be subject to moves in the underlying prices of cryptocurrencies and, in particular, Bitcoin, but Bitcoin holding above $50,000 is certainly bullish.
FXStreet View: Neutral, bullish above $38.
