The Coinbase (COIN) chart shows that, for the first time in 2025, the share price has fallen below the psychological $250 level.

Bearish factors impacting COIN:

One key factor driving negative sentiment is the confirmed hack of the ByBit cryptocurrency exchange, raising concerns about deposit security in the industry. According to media reports:
→ The attack may have been carried out by North Korean hacker group Lazarus.
→ Hackers allegedly drained Ethereum tokens worth between $1 billion and $5 billion from ByBit’s wallet.
→ This is the largest crypto hack in history.

Another factor is growing concerns about the US economy, which have negatively impacted stock markets. As reported by Reuters:
→ The S&P 500 index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) fell by 1.66% on Friday, marking its worst performance of the year.
→ The decline followed a drop in Walmart’s share price and weak consumer sentiment data.
→ Friday’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) figures were below previous levels. Investors are now focusing on this week’s release of the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index—the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge.
