Experts Predict COIN Stock Rally Above $200 as Coinbase CEO Warns of U.S. Falling Behind

COIN stock rebounded today, with experts pointing to a possible move above $200 as buying interest returned amid Coinbase CEO’s U.S. warning. The momentum came as Bitcoin recovered and Binance announced it will launch a COINUSDT perpetual futures contract on Feb. 9, 2026, at 15:00 UTC. 

Experts’ Views on COIN Stock

To predict next moves, analysts focused on historical price behavior and technical zones after COIN stock rebounded from recent lows. Analyst Chad said COIN is now at the monthly Ichimoku cloud.

Chad also noted that the last two capitulation events, in August 2024 and April 2025, left monthly candle wicks at the 0.618 log Fibonacci level. He questioned whether the same pattern could repeat following the latest decline.

Analyst The Great Mattsby had a similar view. He said COIN repeated the 2024 and 2025 flush to $158, adding that history often rhymes. Meanwhile, analyst Enrich Trades pointed to what he described as major support that has held since early 2024. 

He also noted COIN stock gained 13% on Friday and said the move created potential for a quick rally toward the $200 level. He added that risk remains defined if the price breaks below $145.

The price before after hours was at $165.12, following a gain of $13.00, representing a 19.00% increase in the past 24 hours. During the session, COIN stock traded between $151.57 and $165.52, indicating heavy volatility.

However, the stock remained far below its 52-week high. The yearly range showed COIN trading between $142.58 and $444.65. The top crypto exchange stock market capitalization was at $44.53 billion. Average daily volume was reported at 9.73 million shares, while the price-to-earnings ratio measured 14.29.

Coinbase CEO and CLO Push Back on Nevada Legal Move

Alongside the crypto stock rally, Coinbase executives addressed regulatory comments tied to event contracts. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said the U.S. can either lead in financial innovation or watch it move offshore. He added that state regulators fighting federal law protect incumbents rather than consumers.

Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal also detailed the dispute involving the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Grewal said the board attempted to stop Coinbase from listing event contracts through an ex parte action in Nevada state court.

He said the court initially denied the request after Coinbase argued due process required a chance to be heard. However, Grewal later said the state court still issued a temporary restraining order and is now scheduling a preliminary injunction hearing in roughly two weeks.

Grewal added Coinbase also filed in Nevada federal court, arguing Congress granted the CFTC exclusive jurisdiction over these listed contracts.
