3 US Crypto Stocks to Watch Today

US crypto stocks are showing renewed momentum as Bitcoin broke above the $94,000 mark, lifting sentiment across the sector. Riot Platforms (RIOT), Core Scientific (CORZ), and MicroStrategy (MSTR) have all posted strong gains in recent days.

While each faces its own technical hurdles and broader market challenges, their recent price action suggests growing bullish interest. With earnings reports on the horizon and BTC at new highs, these three names are worth watching closely today.

Riot Platforms (RIOT)

Riot Platforms (RIOT), one of the leading Bitcoin mining companies in the U.S., was yesterday’s best-performing crypto stock, gaining 5.34% ahead of its upcoming earnings report on May 1.

However, it’s currently trading down 1.20% in the pre-market, reflecting some investor caution. The recent bullish action is notable but comes within a broader downtrend, as RIOT remains 26.5% lower year-to-date in 2025.

The company operates large-scale Bitcoin mining facilities.

Technically, RIOT has recently shown some strength, climbing 14.5% over the past five days and breaking through resistance at $7.25, now acting as its nearest support level.

Despite this momentum, the EMA lines remain bearish—short-term averages are still trailing below the long-term ones, suggesting the broader trend hasn’t reversed yet. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 58.57 signals that RIOT isn’t overbought yet but is approaching more bullish territory.

Meanwhile, the Average Directional Index (ADX) is 17.94, indicating weak overall trend strength. While there’s been a short-term bounce, RIOT may still be in a fragile technical position unless stronger buying volume or a fundamental catalyst, like a positive earnings surprise, emerges.

Core Scientific (CORZ)

Core Scientific (CORZ) finished yesterday at 2.89% and is currently the only major U.S. crypto stock trading in the green during the pre-market session, at 0.98%.

While that’s a sign of relative strength in the short term, the stock remains down a staggering 49% year-to-date in 2025.

Core Scientific is one of the largest Bitcoin miners in North America. It operates data centers that provide infrastructure for both self-mining and hosting services.

On the technical side, CORZ has recently broken above a key resistance level at $6.79, putting its next target around $7.99.

However, its EMA lines are still bearish, with shorter-term averages sitting below the long-term ones, signaling that the overall trend hasn’t yet turned in its favor. The RSI at 51.14 suggests neutral momentum—neither overbought nor oversold—while the ADX at 13.80 points to weak trend strength.

This combination indicates that although the stock has made a short-term breakout, it may struggle to maintain upward momentum without stronger buying volume or a fundamental catalyst to push it higher.

Strategy Incorporated (MSTR)

MicroStrategy (MSTR) is the best-performing U.S. crypto stock in 2025 so far, with an impressive 19.3% gain year-to-date.

The company, led by executive chairman Michael Saylor, is best known for its aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy, which effectively transformed it into a hybrid software firm and a BTC holding vehicle.

The company is set to report its Q1 2025 earnings on May 1. The stock closed up 0.79% yesterday, although it’s slightly down 0.27% in the pre-market today.

Technically, MSTR is consolidating between a support level at $343 and a resistance level at $356. A break above that resistance could open the door for a move toward $383, which may act as the next psychological and technical target.

The RSI at 66.39 signals that bullish momentum is strong but not yet overheated, while the ADX at 25.79 confirms the presence of a solid uptrend.

With the upcoming earnings release as a potential catalyst and an overall bullish setup, MSTR appears poised for another breakout.
