Trading Summary Notes for Thursday, 7/19/2018

  • BITCOIN holds firm, Ethereum under some pressure
  • Some divergence in the cryptos showing up, BITCOIN the leader of the pack
  • Next stop for BITCOIN $9,500-$10,000? Momentum looks good
  • ETH has to break (and hold above) $500. Then $575 could be in the cards
  • GOLD recovers some early heavy selling. Still closes down
  • Strong dollar, chatter about higher interest rates are a headwind for GOLD
  • Test of $1,200-$1,205 looks inevitable. Breaking $1,200 would lead to $!,175
  • Inflation is here and heating up. GOLD investors/traders not paying attention…….yet
  • Risk/reward in GOLD………..risking $20 (down to $1,200) to make $200 ($14,000 target)

CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
