Coinbase Global ( COIN) went public amid a lot of fanfare and interest in cryptocurrencies and trading. The stock price declined almost instantly and sank quickly from the first day of trading. Prices managed to hold the $210 level a number of times. Until Friday.
In our review on November 10, we wrote that "I assume and hope that traders nailed down some or all their profits around $339 - our price target. COIN looks like it will pull back further, maybe to the $275 area. Stand aside for now."
Let's check again as prices have broken below the $210 level.
