Expanded trading access and partnerships as price faces selling pressure

Coinbase launched stock and ETF trading for all users in the United States, allowing 24/5 access to both traditional and digital assets in a single app and adding research and trading through a partnership with Yahoo Finance. The company is advancing its position as a multi-asset exchange infrastructure provider. Separately, expectations of higher revenue from its partnership with Circle on USDC reserves were reported in connection with new federal stablecoin legislation, and CEO Brian Armstrong publicly opposed proposed UK regulations to cap stablecoin holdings, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent weakness in Coinbase. He points to the stock’s inability to reclaim the MA-50 and MA-200 as a sign of structural vulnerability. Despite recent efforts to diversify into stocks and ETFs, sentiment has not improved, and legislative headwinds persist. Short-term support is likely to be tested if sellers remain dominant. "I expect selling pressure to remain — there is little to suggest sustained recovery given current price action."

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, believes Coinbase is laying strong foundations for growth. He sees the launch of stock and ETF trading as a transformative step that broadens user adoption and strengthens its multi-asset profile. The company’s deepening partnerships in digital assets highlight a bullish structure that remains intact. While recent price weakness is notable, forward-looking opportunities are considerable. "I expect further growth as the market digests these developments and Coinbase’s multi-asset platform unlocks new revenue streams."

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, sees mixed signals for COIN. The technical setup points to short-term strength, but momentum is constrained by the MA-50 and Ichimoku Kijun. He notes regulatory news may create volatility without a clear long-term trend. "If price breaks above $187.13, a tactical breakout setup could emerge, but below recent support, further downside risk would materialize."

Bullish momentum limited by resistance at Kijun and MA-50

At $179.77, COIN is trading above the MA-20 ($170.63) but below both the MA-50 ($211.91) and MA-200 ($288.46). This setup points to short-term bullish momentum but continued medium- and long-term pressure from sellers, with the nearest dynamic resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun ($187.13) and MA-50 acting as further upside barriers.

In the latest session, Coinbase Global Inc. (COIN) surged over 14%, trading above its 20-day moving average and showing strong intraday momentum despite remaining below key medium- and long-term moving averages. Momentum and oscillator readings reveal a mixed technical picture, as overbought conditions and persistent bearish daily signals highlight ongoing volatility and suggest near-term caution is warranted.
