Trading Summary Notes for Wednesday, 7/19/2017

  • Bitcoin's bounce from last weekend's selloff seems to be done
  • Rumor of "agreement" to avoid "hard fork" (split) may have worn off
  • Reports for possible agreement MUST be considered a “rumor” till proven in fact
  • There STILL may be a “hard fork”. HUGE potential news. How will bitcoin react? Unknown
  • Until final resolution (Aug 1st) recommend staying neutral on bitcoin. Sidelines are safe.
  • Gold rallied and holding on weak dollar.
  • Can be a buyer of gold on weakness. Use $1,205 as a sell stop point.
  • LONG TERM bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD.
