The Nasdaq is down 0.79% while the S&P 500 has shed 0.22%. **• Mastercard stock is moving in positive territory. What’s driving MA shares up?** ## **Shift Toward Core Traditional Equities** An August 2026 financial disclosure reveals that over 1,000 high-volume securities transactions worth between $78.1 million and $263.1 million were reported for June alone. For Mastercard, three June purchases totaled an estimated $1.2 million to $5.5 million, based on the transaction ranges disclosed in the filing. **Read Also: Memory Stocks Slide as Trump Threatens 50% Tariffs on Canadian Autos, Steel in 2027: Stock Market Today** ## **Trump Accounts Buy Large-Cap Stocks** Trump’s investment accounts made sizable purchases of **Berkshire Hathaway Inc** (NYSE:BRK), **Visa Inc** (NYSE:V), **Mastercard Inc** (NYSE:MA) and **Cintas Corp** (NASDAQ:CTAS) in June. Meanwhile, the largest single transaction reported in the disclosure was a sale of between $5 million and $25 million of the **Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF** (NYSE:VIG). Trump reported over $2 billion in total business income for 2025. ## **MA Technical Setup: Overbought RSI Near 52-Week High** The chart remains firmly bullish: Mastercard is trading above all major moving averages, including about 4.5% above its 20-day SMA ($570.48) and about 12.8% above its 200-day SMA ($528.64). That spacing matters because it signals buyers have been willing to pay up on pullbacks rather than waiting for deeper mean reversion. Momentum is the main near-term watch-out: RSI is 72.60, which puts the stock in overbought territory and raises the odds of a pause or shallow pullback even if the primary trend stays intact. The bigger-picture trend backdrop is still constructive after the golden cross in August (50-day SMA above the 200-day SMA), and price is now hovering just below the 52-week high of $601.77. - **Key Resistance**: $598.50 — Nearby pivot just under the 52-week high zone where breakouts can stall. - **Key Support**: $556 — Prior demand area that also sits closer to the rising short-to-intermediate trend structure. **MA Stock Price Activity:** Mastercard shares were up 2.69% at $596.25 at the time of publication on Monday, according to Benzinga Pro data. **Read Also: The 10-Year Treasury Has A 5% Ceiling – 'Go Long SOXX', Analyst Says** *Photo: rblfmr/Shutterstock* ### Related Stocks - [MA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MA.US.md) - [BRK.A.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRK.A.US.md) - [BRK.B.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRK.B.US.md) - [BRKU.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRKU.US.md) - [BRKC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRKC.US.md) - [BRKW.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BRKW.US.md) - [07777.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07777.HK.md) - [.IXIC.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.IXIC.US.md) - [.SPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/.SPX.US.md) - [V.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/V.US.md) - [CTAS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CTAS.US.md) - [VIG.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/VIG.US.md) - [SOXX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SOXX.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Mastercard Incorporated $MA Stock Holdings Lifted by Oregon Public Employees Retirement Fund](https://longbridge.com/en/news/296677766.md) - [Mastercard Incorporated $MA Shares Purchased by Perryman Financial Advisory Inc.
