Charts of both stocks show interesting patterns.

Here’s an analysis of what to expect in the coming times:

1. Robinhood: The daily chart of Robinhood shows the stock is trading inside a triangular pattern with the range narrowing over time. The stock is likely to remain in this range for a few more weeks before a breakout can be expected. If the stock breaks out of the upper blue line as shown in the chart, that would indicate a good entry point to ride the rally. The next resistance for the stock can be expected close to the $16 level.

2. Coinbase: The daily chart of Coinbase shows the stock trading with a descending wedge pattern. The stock may continue within this short range for some more time to come before a breakout or breakdown occurs. However, the stock has been forming lower lows on the daily chart, which is not an encouraging sign for the long term. After hitting a short-term high of close to $87 in early February, the stock formed a lower high of about $73 last week. Unless the stock decisively breaks out of the channel with decent volumes, long-term entry into the stock may not be the most prudent step.
