Coinbase Stock Could Rally 280% to 520% by 2025 Says Analyst

Technical analyst Ali @ali_charts has made a bold prediction that has sparked excitement in the crypto and fintech communities. According to the analyst, Coinbase Global ($COIN) could see a significant rally, with its stock price potentially climbing from its current level of around $250 to a range of $950 to $1,550. This forecast was shared on X and is supported by a detailed chart that illustrates a U-shaped recovery pattern expected to span from 2024 to 2025. This pattern is often associated with substantial gains in volatile markets.

The bullish outlook for Coinbase aligns with recent market trends, including the company's strong performance. The surge in the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin recently hitting new highs above $121,300, has been driven by favorable post-election regulatory sentiment in the U.S. According to the analyst's forecast, as liquidity continues to flow into the crypto market, $COIN could outperform even Bitcoin, positioning it as a key entry point for Wall Street into the digital asset space. This view is shared by other analysts in the community.

However, this ambitious target contrasts with the consensus analyst price target of $326.40, which is based on 12-month forecasts from 25 analysts. The $950-$1,550 range would require unprecedented levels of crypto adoption and a shift in regulatory clarity. This could potentially be driven by the pro-innovation stance of the Trump administration, as noted in the 2025 Cryptocurrency Regulation Tracker. Historical precedent, such as the 2021 bull run where $COIN peaked at $429 (pre-split), provides some support for this prediction, but the scale of the forecast suggests a perfect storm of market conditions would be necessary.

Technical analysis also supports the possibility of such a rally. A 2023 study published in the Journal of Financial Markets indicated that U-shaped recoveries in fintech stocks can yield gains of 50-100% during bullish cycles. For investors, the timeline for this potential rally remains unclear, as specific details were not provided in the analyst's forecast. As of now, $COIN’s potential hinges on the momentum of the crypto market and developments in regulatory policies.
