Trading Summary Notes for Tuesday, 9/4/2018

  • A good long weekend for BITCOIN and ETHEREUM; GOLD, not so much
  • BITCOIN continues to be the crypto leader. Solid upside momentum, upside target $8,500
  • ETHEREUM is following BTC, but at a slower pace. If BTC gets to $8,500 (as expected) ETH should see $330-$340.
  • Going to hard to get ETH through $300
  • Think of BITCOIN being gold and ETH being silver. One always lags
  • GOLD is being held hostage to the dollar. Dollars strength=gold weakness
  • GOLD breaking $1,195 should trigger a retest of $1,175-$1,180
  • Inflation, geopolitical issues, currency problems, etc. being ignored by gold investors.........FOR NOW
  • Downside support areas; BTC $6,000; ETH $225; GOLD $1,175-$1,180
  • Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Neutral on ETH.

CURRENT TRADING POSITION:

LONG BITCOIN and GOLD
