Coinbase Global, Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) shares are trading higher Monday despite a drop in the price of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).
The Details:
Bitcoin has retreated slightly over the past 24 hours, trading at $66,877.32 at the time of publication, though some investors view President Joe Biden dropping out of the Presidential race as a positive development for cryptocurrency.
Popular cryptocurrency trader CrypNuevo anticipated significant volatility in the Bitcoin market after Biden's announcement.
"Expecting a volatile price action instead; therefore, I think it's likely to see a move down first. Then we can go up to liquidity at $68,900," CrypNuevo predicted.
Another popular crypto personality, Rekt Capital, said that a weekly close above the $65,000 level could bolster Bitcoin's chances of reclaiming $71,500 in the following week. Bitcoin closed last week above $68,000, and Coinbase shares gained more than 10% last Friday as Bitcoin surged above the $66,000 mark.

According to estimates from Benzinga Pro, analysts expect Coinbase to report earnings of 96 cents per share and quarterly revenue of $1.411 billion. The company has beat analysts' expectations in each of the last five quarters.
