rading Summary Notes for Sunday, 10/14/2018

  • Cryptos including (no, led by) BITCOIN held steady and added a few dollars over the weekend
  • BITCOIN dipped just under $6,200 but finished higher. ETH held at $195
  • Are cryptos becoming part of the "risk on, risk off" trade? With equities taking a big hit last week (risk off), did that spill over to cryptos? Theory to be proved........but any correlation will be short lived
  • 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.
  • 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 $185-$190 (new), upside target $300
  • Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Short neutral bullish on ETH

CURRENT TRADING POSITION:

LONG BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD
