To The Moon

$Bullish(BLSH)$ $Coinbase Global, Inc.(COIN)$ $Circle Internet Corp.(CRCL)$ I’m calling this what it is: a liquidity flush followed by a credibility reset. Bullish’s debut ignited at $90, ripped to $118, then reversed violently into the mid-$80s. I’m tactically cautious into the next open; I’m extremely confident this intraday swing sets the tone for the next 48 hours.

Chart Breakdown

The tape’s now redrawing its battleground. Session open $90.00, day high $118.00, current low $86.40, and a halt print on the downside as bids stepped away. Volume 18.95M shares, turnover $1.96B, with VWAP now recalibrated around $99.80. Amplitude on the day is 85.41%, confirming a whipsaw setup. Fibonacci retrace from the $90–$118 range shows 38.2% at $107.30, 50% at $104.00, and 61.8% at $100.70; prices have sliced straight through them, which signals momentum exhaustion. The final defense is now the IPO open at $90.00; lose that and $73.46 becomes the logical draw.

Earnings Snapshot

Trailing twelve-month revenue $167M into Mar 31, 2025, net income guidance $106–$109M for Q2, and crypto treasury holdings near $2B predominantly in BTC. Trading volume growth is 78% year on year, with CoinDesk media operations adding high-margin revenue streams.

Segment Revenues

Bullish Exchange drives trading and liquidity infrastructure, while CoinDesk captures data, indices, and media monetisation. Cumulative exchange volume since inception exceeds $1.25T as of Mar 31, 2025. This dual-engine model amplifies operating leverage in bull crypto cycles.

Flow & Institutional Moves

The IPO raised $1.11B at $37 per share for a $5.41B valuation at print, with BlackRock and ARK pre-committing up to $200M in shares. The open gap to $90 was pure pent-up demand, but the slide into the $80s tells me the first round of fast money just flipped to cash. Social feeds as of 14Aug NZST remain heavily bullish in message tone but are now spiking with “buy the dip” calls; classic sentiment lagging price action.

Valuation Check

At $118, BLSH’s market cap hit ~$15B; at $86.40 it’s compressed to $12.63B. That’s a 16% haircut from peak in less than an hour, underscoring how thin day-one liquidity really is once the initial burst fades. This isn’t divergence; it’s detachment from valuation logic, driven by order book imbalances.

Analyst PTs & Sentiment

CEO Tom Farley calls this “the institutional wave,” while Bitget’s Ryan Lee notes the raise “reflects growing institutional confidence.” Standard Chartered’s Geoff Kendrick’s forecast of stablecoin sector 8x growth by 2028 remains intact, but this reversal will test short-term conviction. Prove me wrong, but the market just priced in a tactical pause.

My Trade Plan

I’m now trading the post-halt tape. Above VWAP $99.80 on sustained buying, I’ll consider scaling for a re-test of $104.00, then $107.30. Failure to reclaim VWAP keeps bias short into $90.00, then $86.40, with a stop above $101.00. Sub-$90 opens the door to $73.46 support. This is a trader’s market; momentum and liquidity drive the edge.

Macro Context

The stablecoin law signed in July remains a powerful long-term catalyst, especially with BTC holding near highs. That macro tailwind doesn’t negate short-term profit-taking, but it does set a higher floor for institutional interest once the churn ends.

Conclusion

Day-one euphoria met reality fast. I’m watching VWAP $99.80, the $90.00 IPO open, and $86.40 halt low as my key pivot points. If we reclaim the mid-$100s on volume, momentum could reignite; if not, this fades further before real buyers step back in. Liquidity flush complete; next move decides who owns the narrative. Based on the current order book, VWAP rejection, and Fib level failures, I expect a close in the $90–$92 range, with $91.00 as my base case for settlement today.
