The first sign that Coinbase was bottoming was that it dropped 90%. Very few stocks fall so much without bouncing at some point. The second was Fred Ehrsam, its co-founder who now runs Pm, a venture fund, bought 75m USD worth of shares with an average price of 70$. Whenever a founder is getting in after a crash, especially one running a venture fund, it's time to pay attention. https://www.coindesk.com/business/2022/05/20/coinbase-co-founder-fred-ehrsam-buys-the-dip-purchases-75m-of-company-stock/
Then despite Bitcoin and Ethereum making new lows in June, COIN didn't follow. Despite all the blowups in the space, Coinbase wasn't affected, and its business model remained healthy. The price then failed to make new lows when negative news about negative earnings, firing employees, insider trading, and nine tokens trading on its platform being declared securities led ARKK, which also prompted Cathie Wood & ARKK to dump their 1.4m worth of Coinbase shares. https://www.forbes.com/sites/haileylennon/2022/07/22/coinbase-is-ready-to-fight-the-sec/ https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/cathie-wood-dumps-75m-of-coinbase-stock-at-massive-loss-after-long-being-bullish-1031619400?op=1
As Coinbase was clearly in accumulation mode and was going sideways, the news about a partnership with Blackrock popped up and created a massive surge in the price. In my opinion, it wasn't so much the news that caused the pump, but it served as an essential catalyst. The rally was so strong that the stock trading was paused and fell lower once it resumed. However, it wasn't just the pause that led to a pullback but also the fact that it hit significant resistance. This looks like a normal pullback, and the stock will rally higher at some point, although it might first fill the gap lower and retest the 75-80$ breakout zone. Therefore a dip here could be an excellent buy-the-dip opportunity, with the following primary target being 200-220$.
