Trading Summary Notes for Thursday, 8/9/2018

  • After several days of huge price declines, BITCOIN and ETHEREUM hold steady
  • Is the selling over? Was that the selling climax? Only time will tell.......no hurry to rush in
  • BITCOIN heading to $4,000? ETH to $200-$250?
  • Selling climax would be a tremendous buying opportunity. Panic at the top ($20,000) and a panic at the bottom (?)
  • GOLD gives up $2.00 in very quiet trade
  • GOLD holding to the $1.205 -$1,210 area
  • Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Neutral on ETH. Hard to be bullish and long in weak markets
  • Typical "NO NEWS" summer day.....boring

CURRENT TRADING POSITION:

LONG GOLD
