rading Summary Notes for Monday, 9/10/2018

  • Rough weekend for BITCOIN but tragic for ETH. ETHEREUM settles under $200 and weaker in late trading
  • BITCOIN, and all cryptos facing, some tax selling pressure?
  • Case for BITCOIN still intact and, in fact, getting stronger as it is emerging as the premier crypto
  • Downside support at $6,000, upside target $8,500
  • ETHEREUM breaking under our target of $200. Selling pressure continues, very difficult to assess a downside target
  • GOLD stable at just under $1,200, unchanged on the weekend
  • Wage inflation beginning to become a hot topic. Price inflation tends to follow higher wages. INFLATION very underestimated
  • So far, $1,190-$1,195 is holding. After that $1,175-$1,180 is support. Its all about the dollar
  • Getting VERY bullish on GOLD. A solid close above $1,210 should bring in buyers; target $1,250
  • Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Neutral on ETH.

CURRENT TRADING POSITION:

LONG BITCOIN and GOLD
