Go to long bitcoin, short coinbase, suggests analyst

Shares to NASDAQ listed in CryptoCurrency Exchange Coinbase (Coins) is rapidly approaching an overvaluation threshold, 10x researchLed by Markus Thielen, said Friday. Thielen recommends a trade in pairs consisting of a short coin position and a simultaneous -long -long position in Bitcoin
.
In a note sent to clients, Thielen explained that Coinbase’s foundations, largely trading volumes, did not maintain the rally in sharing prices, which quickly approached the overvaluation threshold, a classic setup for a “tactical return.”
“While the Coinbase has not completely violated the +30% overvale threshold, it approaches quickly, and despite being one of some high quality, listed crypto plays, its current premium suggests the risk of underperformance in advance,” Thielen detailed. “Entrepreneurs who are looking to achieve this dislocation may consider going to the long bitcoin while shorteing Coinbase, or using options by selling a coin call and buying a BTC call to express the same view with a specified risk.”
Basic connectivity
According to the linear regression model of 10x, 75% of coinbase stock price action is explained by the price and quantity of bitcoin trade. This means that only 25% of coin price action is led by other factors, such as the potential IPO effect of the IPO of the Circle or US Crypto and Macro Development.
In the number of terms, it is suggested that the price of the coin tends to rise by $ 20 for every $ 10,000 transfer to the BTC and by $ 24 for every $ 100 billion increase in trading volume.
Recent price action suggests that the rally is a great deal of relatives at the price of bitcoin and trading volume. Coinbase shares have moved by 84% in the last two months, while Bitcoin rose only 14%.
“Not only is this premium stretched out -of -baby premium at the current Bitcoin price, but it also appears to be disconnected from the underlying crypto trade volumes, which attracts around $ 108 billion,” Thielen said. “This rare deviation suggests the appreciation of Coinbase is expanded and vulnerable to the mean return.”
The report said the other factors – the Circle of the Circle on June 3, the June 17 “Genius” Stablecoin Bill and the purchase of frenzy from Korean investors – seemed to be a priest.
“As this momentum cools down, which is evident in recent -only circles, a round, and metaplanet, there is a growing risk that coinbase sharing can also be close to a local top,” Thielen said.
