- BITCOIN, ETHEREUM and GOLD all move higher
- After close, BITCOIN drops under $7,000; ETH drops under $400
- ETH weakest of the group. Next stop $350-$360?
- Appears most of the selling is coming late and from the U.S.
- Lack of interest and lack of buyers dampening the markets.
- Bitcoin back to $6,000?
- GOLD trying hard to shake off strong dollar headwinds
- Geopolitical issues (trade wars, currency volatility, Mideast tensions, etc) having no effect on cryptos and gold (go figure
- BTC and Gold just out of favor and moving lower. Strong fundamentals being ignored
- Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Neutral on ETH. Hard to be bullish and long in weak markets.
CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
LONG BITCOIN AND GOLD
