Trading Summary Notes for Tuesday, 5/22/2018

  • The crypto twins, BITCOIN & ETHEREUM give back a little of the weekend gains in slow trade
  • Bitcoin holding in the low $8,000 area. Building support? Maybe
  • Another run to $9,500 for BTC? Wait to see if selling dries up around $8,100-$8,200
  • ETH may drift down to $650-$660
  • All cryptos in dull uninspired trading
  • GOLD wandering around in the $1,280- $1,295 area
  • Dollar weakness will spike gold back above $1,300. Inflation talk will get gold to $1,320
  • Inflation still the number one to fear. That’s bullish for gold.
  • Currently neutral on crypto’s (bitcoin, ethereum) and gold
