Quantitative Overlay
Detailed Deep Dive
$CRCL has surged ~90% over the past month, demonstrating tremendous strength despite broader market weakness. In my view, the stock is being recognised as a beneficiary of the current inflationary environment (as rate cuts are negative for Circle’s business model), a potential pure play on ‘agentic money’ and is being rewarded for its impressive earnings beats.
The stock is currently trading above all key moving averages and has been riding the 5SMA on it’s recent rise.The $135 level, which represents the AVWAP from its IPO, will be a significant technical level that may act as resistance.
While I like $CRCL, I do also have a position in COIN. A pullback to the mid 90’s would likely present an interesting entry point.
