COIN is trading below its 200-day MA ($198.53) — a key warning sign the longer-term trend is under pressure. With an RSI of 74.9, momentum has stretched into overbought territory — short-term pullbacks are common from these levels. The 1-year return of -37.9% compares to +20.5% for SPY (trailed the market by 58.4%). The current 53.6% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
