rading Summary Notes for Thursday, 10/11/2018

  • Are cryptos (BITCOIN & ETH) following equities? Is there a correlation?
  • When fear strikes it spills into all sectors. There should NOT be any correlation between cryptos and equities. This could be a few days of fear ruling logic (fyi....which can happen)
  • BITCOIN buying opportunity? I say YES. ETH? Cautious
  • GOLD,GOLD GOLD! That's the gold we have been expecting and calling for. Traditional flight to safety.
  • All GOLD supports under $1,200 held beautifully. This strong close above $1,210 is very bullish
  • Higher rates rattle equities in the U.S. BUT GOLD has been pricing all that in for weeks
  • GOLD upside target $1,350. Expect some "backing and filling" but buy the dips
  • BITCOIN downside support at $6,000, upside target $8,500
  • ETH downside at $200, upside target $300.
  • Long term bullish on BITCOINand GOLD. Short neutral bullish on ET

CURRENT TRADING POSITION:

LONG BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD
