Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) stock fell by more than 10% on Tuesday, November 8, as COIN shares were impacted by the uncertainty in the crypto market surrounding rival cryptocurrency exchange – FTX.
FTX is currently attempting to avert a collapse as well as a potentially far-reaching domino effect over the whole cryptocurrency sector, which is still licking its wounds after the Terra crash. Although the market seemed to be settling and bottoming, most assets have faced significant selling pressure, and the market lost more than $100 billion in 24 hours at one point.
As crypto regulation becomes more scrutinized than ever, the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority of Germany, better known as BaFin, has issued an order relating to Coinbase’s local arm’s business organization in line with the country’s banking rules. In a November 8 notification, BaFin said it had issued the order to Coinbase Germany GmbH for breaches of the German Banking Act’s “appropriate business organization.”

COIN chart and analysis
In the last month, COIN has been trading between $47.69 – $78.29, and it is currently trading near the lows of this zone. In terms of resistance, an area ranging from $65.19 to $66.24 is formed by combining multiple trend lines and critical moving averages (MA) across various time frames.
Since volume has been considerably higher in the last couple of days, combined with the strong move down, COIN does not present a quality setup. Price movement has been a little too volatile to find a solid entry and exit point.
Wall Streets analysts rate COIN a ‘moderate buy,’ with price predictions for the next 12 months seeing a potential increase of 64.86% from the current trading price of $50.83 to a potential price of $83.80 per share.
Furthermore, out of the 22 TipRanks analysts covering Coinbase Global, eleven have a ‘buy’ rating, seven have a ‘hold’ rating, and four with a ‘sell’ rating based on their performance over the last three months.
Coinbase’s technical analysis (TA) indicators on the 1-week scale show mixed results. The weekly summary gauge is a ‘sell’ zone at 11, while the moving averages point to a ‘strong sell’ at 10 with no buys. Meanwhile, the weekly oscillators are still not refusing to budge from their ‘neutral’ position, with 8.
