CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate & CME CF Bitcoin Real Time Index CME ETH_RR_USD Ethereum Reference Rate & CME ETH_RTI_USD Ethereum Real Time IndexTrading Summary Notes for Thursday, 7/26/2018
- Very quiet trade but both BITCOIN and ETHEREUM add a few bucks
- BITCOIN upside momentum strong and intact. GO BITCOIN!
- ETHEREUM drifting around in trendless trade. ETH lags the leader.....BITCOIN
- BITCOIN near term upside target $9,500-$10,000
- GOLD sinks ahead of expected strong second quarter GDP number (over 4%)
- Thinking goes like this; strong GDP means higher rates means stronger dollar
- Inflation being totally ignored. Some are getting concerned, gold market isn't.....yet
- Geopolitical events, currency risks and INFLATION not in the market
- GOLD……when there are no reasons to buy………that’s when you buy
- Risk/reward in GOLD………..risking $20 (down to $1,200) to make $200 ($14,000 target)
CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
LONG BITCOIN AND GOLD
