- The US SEC rejects applications for BITCOIN ETF (see FintekNews article)

- CRYPTO PANIC MAY NOT BE OVER YET! BITCOIN could break down under $6,000 in a panic. Target $4,500-$5,000. ETH $200.
- GOLD sells off sharply after testing $1,200
- Dollar rallies on fears of more interest rate hikes causing GOLD selloff
- Rumors again of some central banks selling GOLD are back. Selling GOLD to raise dollars to support local fiat currency?

LONG GOLD
