Gobbling Up COIN Calls

June 18, 2025

“I’m gobbling up COIN calls.”

It’s what I told Breakout Multiplier members I was doing during last week’s strategy session.

Today, Coinbase stock rallied 16% after Congress passed the Genius Act, providing regulatory clarity for stablecoins. 

The company also announced the launch of a stablecoin payments stack for e-commerce platforms. The news tanked blue-chip payment names, Visa and Mastercard.

And that’s just the disruptive nature of this business. 

I think Coinbase is one of the most exciting long-term growth stories out there. 

They keep doing all the right things. And now that they finally have a clear and supportive regulatory backdrop, they can execute freely. 

But that’s why I own the common stock… 

The short-dated calls I’ve been pounding the table about have nothing to do with that.

Instead, that trade has everything to do with bull flags.

We came into the month with a growing list of indexes and stocks resolving short-term continuation patterns to the upside.

In the weeks since, some have seen tremendous follow-through while others have had more lackluster reaction rallies. But very few have failed…. and that’s been great information.

When I see the same pattern play out and complete the same way repeatedly… I act accordingly—I look for that formation, and I buy it—over and over again, for as long as it works.

Here it is in Coinbase:

Why should it do anything different from the other bull flags?

With Bitcoin and speculative growth trading at new highs, why shouldn’t it follow?

Today, COIN followed in a big way as the crypto industry leader blasted higher out of this coil.

I dumped almost all my weekly calls as they ripped deep into the money. I’m holding a small bit for potential Friday fireworks.

It was the best single day of the year for my trading account. 

I plan to redeploy the profits into some fresh bull flags over the course of the coming days.

Speaking of bull flags, we discussed another one on last week’s call: CRK. We doubled down on the position Thursday, and the stock is up about 25% since.

We sold a double almost immediately, and as of today, those calls are up about 500%. We were also in some June CRK calls that expire Friday. Those hit 10x today.

Sign up for Breakout Multiplier risk-free, and join us for Friday’s call. We’re going to be talking about and trading the next hot bull flags. Don’t miss them.
