The Impact of the Current Downturn
Palmer wrote:” although we do not underestimate the impact of the current downturn in the cryptocurrency market, we also believe that, given the local facts, any view that COIN will not be able to withstand this latest challenge is wrong. He reiterated the buying proposal and reduced the target price of Coinbase from $380 to $290.
At the same time, Mizuho Securities research analyst Dan Dolev said that he saw potential signs of “cryptocurrency fatigue” in the trading mode.
“COIN trading volume seems to have surged during the sell-off, but failed to rebound during the short rallies,” dolev said in a note to clients. “As evidence, the average daily trading volume on the decline day of Bitcoin on the COIN platform is 15% higher than that on the rise day of Bitcoin. However, in recent months, the trading volume on the decline day is 42% higher than that on the rise day, or nearly three times higher than that before.” Dolev rated COIN neutral with a target price of $45.
