CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate & CME CF Bitcoin Real Time IndexTrading Summary Notes for Thursday, 2/22/2018
- BITCOIN can't hold $10K. Settles just under
- Closing under the $10K round number is a psychological negative
- A little more retrenchment would not be out of line. $8,500-$9K?
- GOLD shrugs off yesterday and rallies back above $1,330....up $7.00
- Interest rates eased slightly
- Rather than interest rates, gold will begin to focus on inflation (bullish for gold)
- Top 2018 “HOT” picks……… long both BITCOIN & GOLD
CURRENT TRADING POSITION: Long GOLD
