The post Coinbase Faces Challenges as Bitcoin Slips: Is a Reversal Near? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Amid the ongoing crypto correction, led by Bitcoin (BTC), Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN), the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States by registered users and daily average traded volume, has been forming a possible reversal pattern. Having risen to a local top around $272 last month, COIN shares have been trapped in a falling trend in the past two weeks.
Recent data shows that COIN shares have dropped more than 20 percent over the last two weeks, trading around $218 in Friday’s pre-market session. This sharp decline highlights the current struggles of the stock.
From a technical perspective, COIN shares are showing a potential double top pattern on the weekly chart, along with a bearish divergence on the Relative Strength Index (RSI). This suggests that if Bitcoin’s price continues to fall, COIN shares might experience even more significant losses soon.
