Coinbase Stock Price Faces Breakdown Towards $141-$145
Coinbase's stock price (COIN) has been stuck at $149.73 for some time, pinned below various moving averages. The technical setup suggests a breakdown towards $141-$145 is likely, with a 65% probability.
The price action is characterized by a lack of conviction and exhaustion, with the MACD flatlining near zero. The on-chain liquidity is also leaning towards selling, indicating that the market is in favor of bears.
The immediate support level at $149.14 is not as significant as the level at $148.54, which marks the beginning of a potentially large drop. Below $148.54, there's no meaningful technical structure until reaching the lower Bollinger Band at $141.11.
The derivatives positioning reveals a crowded long position, with 71% of retail participants and 76.3% of top traders being long. However, this alignment is not bullish but rather a coiled trap that can lead to a cascade of selling if the price breaks below $148.54.
