Trading Summary Notes for Friday, 6/1/2018

  • BITCOIN drifts lower, ETHEREUM adds a couple bucks, GOLD drops $6.00
  • Cryptos (BITCOIN, ETHEREUM) stalled with lack of interest. “Dead money” for a while?”
  • U.S./N.K. summit back on, tariffs back on too. Nothing big to move markets
  • Uncertainty, geopolitical events, dollar, interest rates, etc not moving markets currently
  • GOLD moving up and down slightly around $1,300. Down today. No conviction right now
  • Trading ranges getting smaller as trading interest dries up. Choppy (not volatile) markets may be here for a while
  • Currently neutral on gold, long term bullish on BTC & ETH

CURRENT TRADING POSITION:

LONG BITCOIN
