# Why Is Cipher Digital Stock Surging on Tuesday?

**Cipher Digital Inc** (NASDAQ:CIFR) stock is surging on Tuesday, primarily driven by a massive narrative shift regarding its energy strategy. Cipher Digital said last Thursday that it started developing lateral pipelines across multiple sites. The infrastructure aims to overcome power-grid constraints.

The Nasdaq is up 0.21% while the S&P 500 has shed 0.33% and Technology is gaining 0.61% even as market breadth stays soft.

The pipelines will connect the company’s facilities to nearby natural gas supplies. The infrastructure could support up to 2.5 gigawatts of on-site power generation.

## **Data Center Expansion**

Cipher Digital plans to use the capacity to expand and lease industrial-scale data centers to major tenants. The facilities will support high-performance computing workloads.

The company will work with power providers to develop the required generation infrastructure. Cipher Digital is targeting power availability before the end of 2027.

## **Technical Analysis**

From a trend perspective, CIFR is still in a longer-term uptrend after a powerful 12-month run of 151.68%, but the chart has been working through a mid-cycle reset since the June swing high. The stock is trading 16.8% above its 20-day SMA ($16.62) and 5.5% above its 200-day SMA ($18.40), while still sitting 6.2% below its 100-day SMA ($20.69), which keeps the intermediate trend "in repair" rather than fully cleared.

The moving-average structure is mixed, which helps explain the choppy feel: the 20-day SMA remains below the 50-day SMA (a short-term bearish crossover), but the 50-day SMA is above the 200-day SMA (a bullish longer-term backdrop). That combination often produces sharp rallies and pullbacks as price tries to reclaim the "middle" of the trend stack.

-   **Key Resistance**: $22.50 — Nearby round-number zone where rebounds can stall as traders look to sell into strength.
-   **Key Support**: $16 — Nearby area where buyers previously stepped in, aligning with the recent consolidation zone above the 20-day averages.

**CIFR Stock Price Activity:** Cipher Digital shares were up 9.36% at $19.40 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
