rading Summary Notes for Tuesday, 10/2/2018

  • BITCOIN adds $6.00, ETH drops 13 cents. So lets call it unchanged
  • Both BTC and ETH held steady while going nowhere
  • Looks like a very quiet and very solid floor is being put in place in the cryptos
  • Gearing up for a big 4th quarter end of year rally? YES!
  • BITCOIN downside support at $6,000, upside target $8,500
  • ETH downside at $200, upside target $300
  • GOLD gets a big rally as Amazon and others raise their minimum wage to $15
  • Wage increases set the tone for inflationary pressures. Inflation always starts with wage inflation
  • GOLD closing above $1,210 would be very positive. That is previous resistance
  • GOLD under $1,200 is a super long term risk/reward play. Support at $1,175-$1,180 with an upside target of $1,350
  • Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Short term bullish on ETH

CURRENT TRADING POSITION:

LONG BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD
