The all-time high on Coinbase reached $41,986.37 on January 8. From the high on January 8, the price corrected over 27% to $30,100. That low was just above the 50% retracement of the move up from the December 11 swing low at $29,811.24. The holding of the 50% gave the buyers the courage to stick the toe in the water and push the price higher. The move back above the moving averages over the last 24 hours, is another bullish play from traders.
