Trading in UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) was quiet Monday. This comes after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/04/44869920/unitedhealth-ceo-says-high-cost-of-us-health-care-simply-not-sustainable">Friday's drop of more </a>than 20%. The company reduced its annual guidance to $26.00 to $26.50 per share. The previous guidance was close to $30.00 per share.
But the selloff may soon end. This is why our team of traders has made UH our Stock of the Day.
&#8220;Buy at former bottoms&#8221; is an old expression on Wall Street. It refers to how, sometimes, when a stock drops to a price level that had previously been support, there is a good chance that it will find support again. There is also a good chance that a rally follows.
You can see on the chart that since January 2022 UnitedHealth has dropped to the $435.00 level seven times. Each time it found support and each time was followed by a move higher.

Now the stock is closing in on this important level again.
If a stock is trending lower, it is because there are more shares for sale than there are to be bought. Investors and traders who wish to sell are forced to push the price lower if they want to draw buyers in from the sidelines.
This price action results in a downtrend.
Support is a price level or zone where there is a large amount of buy interest. There are as many, or possibly even more shares to be bought as there are for sale. This is why downtrends pause or end when they reach support.
At times, those who created the support with their buying become concerned that others who wish to buy will be willing to pay a higher price than they are. As a result, they increase their bid prices. Other concerned buyers see this and raise their bid prices as well.
It could result in a bidding war that forces the stock into an uptrend. This may be about to happen once again with UnitedHealth.

Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) has acquired an additional 6,556 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) for approximately $555.8 million, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44563102/strategy-acquires-22048-more-bitcoin-for-1-92-billion-bringing-total-holdings-to-528185-btc">according to a new SEC filing</a>.
The <a href="https://assets.contentstack.io/v3/assets/bltf8d808d9b8cebd37/blt0d37b0481a7a31df/6805a9fd4851b5fb07d317dd/form-8-k_04-21-2025.pdf">purchase</a> was made between April 14 and April 20, at an average price of $84,785 per Bitcoin including fees.
The move brings MicroStrategy's total Bitcoin holdings to 538,200 BTC, acquired for a combined cost of $36.47 billion at an average price of $67,766 per coin.
The acquisition was funded via proceeds from the company's ongoing at-the-market equity sales programs, raising $547.7 million through its MSTR common stock and $7.8 million through its STRK preferred stock. 
The purchase comes amid renewed institutional interest in Bitcoin, particularly from Japan. 
On Monday, publicly listed Metaplanet (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTPLF#OTC">MTPLF</a>) added 330 BTC to its treasury, taking its total holdings to 4,855 BTC, currently valued above $420 million.

This marks the company&#8217;s third Bitcoin purchase in April, reinforcing its position as the tenth-largest public BTC holder.
In a similar move, Japanese fashion company ANAP Holdings revealed it had acquired approximately 16.6591 BTC last week, valued at around $1.4 million. 
The investment will be managed through its subsidiary, ANAP Lightning Capital, and will be revalued quarterly on the company's books. 
ANAP reported a 12.1% Bitcoin yield so far this quarter, with a striking 95% yield in the previous quarter, calculated by its proprietary "BTC Yield" metric.
Despite global macro headwinds, including U.S. equity markets losing $5.4 trillion after Trump's tariff announcement, Bitcoin has remained resilient. 
While the Nasdaq fell 11% in early April, Bitcoin's drawdown was limited to 6%, reinforcing its role as a potential hedge during financial stress.

Roadzen Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDZN#NASDAQ">RDZN</a>) ("Roadzen" or the "Company"), a global leader in AI-driven mobility and insurance technology, announced today that it has filed a lawsuit in Florida against Meteora Capital Partners, LP ("Meteora") and affiliated entities, alleging willful breach of contract and conduct that has damaged Roadzen and its public market value. The lawsuit is pending in Palm Beach County, Florida, Case Number 50-2025-CA-003675-XXXA-MB.
The lawsuit stems from a Forward Purchase Agreement (FPA) signed in August 2023, under which, as stated in the complaint, Meteora acquired 5 million shares in Roadzen at effectively a zero-cost basis. In exchange, Meteora agreed to remit proceeds from the sale of those shares to Roadzen under specific, clearly defined contractual mechanisms.
Roadzen alleges that, despite negotiated safeguards, Meteora sold over 1.8 million shares without honoring its payment obligations or providing the required notices under the FPA. Roadzen is pursuing a contractual claim of approximately $19.5 million plus additional damages.

What to Expect from Baker Hughes's Earnings

<a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/eu-vs-china-the-new-great-game-for?r=3nmatg">Central Asia has again </a>emerged as a center of geopolitical rivalry between great powers competing for natural resources and political influence.
Instead of Great Britain and Russia vying for control of trade routes and territory in the 19th century's "Great Game," the European Union (EU) and China are currently courting the region's leaders. Both seek access to the region's vast oil, gas, and mineral wealth.
Central Asia holds massive <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/04/04/eu-seals-new-central-asia-partnership-deal-as-debut-samarkand-summit-ends">deposits of raw materials</a>. The region has 38.6% of the world's manganese ore, 30% of chromium, 20% of lead, 12.6% of zinc, and 8.7% of titanium.
<a href="https://x.com/eurocapinsights/status/1914255132641861790">As China expands</a> its footprint in the region, the EU seeks to increase its influence in Central Asia. Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan are critical for the bloc's energy supplies and green transition.
"Central Asia is becoming a magnet for global powers," Mehmet Fatih Oztarsu, a Senior Researcher at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in Seoul, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://cepa.org/article/eu-seeks-to-match-chinese-influence-in-central-asia/">wrote</a> for the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA).

They are concerned that Trump's economic policies could further disrupt global supply chains.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">China Chips Away At EU's Role in Central Asia</h2>
While the EU is the region's main investor, China is chipping away at that lead. Beijing has<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.ituc-csi.org/IMG/pdf/belt_and_road_initiative_in_central_asia.pdf"> invested heavily</a> in the region as part of its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). It has poured vast sums of funding into infrastructure projects, surveillance systems, and military assistance.

China accounts for roughly 22% of <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://foreignaffairs.house.gov/china-snapshot-project-central-asia-2/">Central Asian exports </a>and 37% of their imports. This trade grew to $89 billion in 2023, representing a 27% increase from the previous year.

Along with closer ties, though, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan now owe nearly half of their sovereign debt to China.

China's financing aims to expand its geopolitical influence, secure trade routes, and build large-scale infrastructure. In comparison, the EU instead offers loans designed" to accelerate economic transformation, adaptation to a free-market economy, and promotion of human rights," Oztarsu wrote.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Beijing Makes Political Overtures in Central Asia</h2>
Beijing has made political overtures in the region. President Xi Jinping visited Kazakhstan for the fifth time in July last year since assuming power in 2012.
Apart from Russia, this fact marks Kazakhstan as one of the Chinese leader's most frequently visited nations, alongside the US and France. President Xi has visited Russia more frequently, nine times, according to the <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://carnegieendowment.org/posts/2024/07/what-does-xi-jinping-want-from-central-asia?lang=en">Carnegie Endowment for International Peace</a>.

China's Central Asian push has not gone unnoticed in Brussels.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EU Maneuvers To Offset China's Expansion</h2>
EU representatives and the five former Soviet republics of Central Asia met on <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2025/04/04/joint-press-release-following-the-first-eu-central-asia-summit/">April 4</a> to strengthen their strategic partnership. The first <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-7745-2025-REV-1/en/pdf">EU-Central Asia Summit</a> in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, focused on expanding trade and EU investment.
"After years of successful cooperation it is time to take our partnership with Central Asia to the next level, deepening trade, strengthening regional collaboration and expanding people-to-people ties," António Costa, President of the European Council, said. "The EU remains a reliable forward-looking partner for Central Asia, investing in its long-term sustainable development for mutual, long-lasting benefit."
The delegations discussed the contemporary developments of the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route (TITR). It connects the two regions via Central Asia, the Caspian Sea, the South Caucasus, and Turkey.
Its freight transportation volume increased by <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://caspiannews.com/news-detail/trans-caspian-international-transport-route-sets-new-record-in-2024-2024-12-18-27/">63% to 4.1 million tons</a> in the first 11 months of 2024. The <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://caspiannews.com/news-detail/trans-caspian-international-transport-route-sets-new-record-in-2024-2024-12-18-27/">TITR Coordination Center</a> aims to enhance its competitiveness by reducing the transit time between Europe and China to under 15 days.
Bypassing Russia, the TITR has also become an alternative to China's BRI. The corridor became more critical for China and Europe after Russia invaded Ukraine. The sanctions imposed on Moscow exposed the EU to global supply chain disruptions that drove eurozone inflation to 10.6% in October 2022.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EU Boosts Investments In Central Asia</h2>
The European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, pledged EU investments of €<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/04/04/eu-seals-new-central-asia-partnership-deal-as-debut-samarkand-summit-ends">12 billion</a>. The bloc allocated €3 billion for transportation and €2.5 billion for raw materials projects, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://x.com/vonderleyen/status/1907803357252624762">von der Leyen</a> said.
The EU will also provide €6.4 billion for water, energy, and climate protection. It pledged an additional €<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2025/04/04/joint-press-release-following-the-first-eu-central-asia-summit/">10 million</a>&nbsp;to enhance Central Asia's connectivity.
"Countries in the region –particularly Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan – have become more significant partners for the EU and its member states," Marcin Popławski, a research fellow for the Centre for Eastern Studies,<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.osw.waw.pl/en/publikacje/analyses/2025-04-09/eu-central-asia-summit-samarkand-economy-comes-first"> wrote </a>on April 9. That is "due to increased exports of oil and uranium, a shift facilitated by their cautious stance on the war in Ukraine," Popławski added.
In the first quarter of 2024, Kazakhstan supplied 10.9% of the EU's petroleum oil imports, as reported by <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/ddn-20240701-1">Eurostat</a>. Kazakhstan, the largest economy in the region, supplies 19 of the EU's 34 critical raw materials, according to Eurostat.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">European Companies Have Presence in Central Asia</h2>
European companies have significant interests in the region. France's TotalEnergies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTE#NYSE">TTE</a>) holds <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://totalenergies.com/kazakhstan">a 16.8% stake</a> in the North Caspian Project consortium to develop the Kashagan oil field.
Dutch Shell plc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHEL#NYSE">SHEL</a>) <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://reports.shell.com/investors-handbook/2011/upstream/asia/kazakhstan.html">has a 16.8% stake </a>in the Kashagan oil field, one of the world's largest offshore fields. Shell also holds a 5.4% interest in the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which exports production from western Kazakhstan to the Black Sea.
To support European corporate interests, the EU has started to focus more heavily on trade. This approach aligns with the expectations of the Central Asian states, according to Popławski.
"The relationship now focuses on targeted cooperation, particularly in areas such as raw materials and transport," Poplawski said. This has expanded "since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine," he added.
