According to the chart of Coinbase Global (COIN), the share price of the cryptocurrency exchange has reached a historical all-time high (closing price).

The bullish sentiment has been supported by the following factors:
→ Bitcoin price rally. Yesterday, we analysed the BTC/USD chart and anticipated that bulls might attempt to set a new record. Following the publication, Bitcoin made a strong upward move, breaking above the $118,000 level.

→ Passage of the GENIUS bill in the US, which establishes a regulatory framework for the use of stablecoins.

Technical Analysis of Coinbase (COIN) Share Price

At the end of June, our analysis of the COIN chart highlighted the following:
→ From a broader perspective, COIN’s price fluctuations over the past year had formed an ascending channel (marked in grey).
→ The ongoing intermediate rally (marked in blue) had the potential to drive the price towards the upper boundary of this grey channel.

This scenario has materialised: today, COIN shares are trading near the upper edge of the grey channel. However, several factors now warrant a bearish outlook:

→ The upper boundary of the channel may act as resistance;
→ The psychological level of $400 could also serve as resistance;
→ Shareholders may be tempted to lock in profits;
→ A potential bearish divergence on the RSI indicator.

It is possible that in the near term, COIN bulls will attempt to break through the $400 level. However, if buying momentum weakens, the conditions may favour a price correction — which would appear justified after a nearly 60% rally since early June.
