CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate & CME CF Bitcoin Real Time IndexTrading Summary Notes for Monday, 12/18/2017
- BITCOIN up sharply from Friday, but off from late Sunday
- CME Group futures now active. Creates new ways to hedge, but also creates new sellers
- Looks as if the CME bitcoin futures is the better product.
- Bitcoin is getting more efficient and maybe a touch less volatile
- Still too much "chatter" about bitcoin. Very frothy and looks to be "over owned". Any sellers other than in the futures? Hmmmm!
- GOLD once again beginning a rise toward $1,295-$1,300
- Inflation and new wage increase pressure should help gold
- Gold is under owned and under loved. Don’t be short gold
- LONG TERM BULLISH ON BITCOIN AND GOLD
CURRENT TRADING POSITION: Long GOLD
