Trading Summary Notes for Friday, 5/11/2018

  • BITCOIN buyers are nowhere to be found. Crypto interest seems to have died
  • Have futures killed the underlying? Bitcoin futures are having a dampening effect as futures volume increases
  • So many things that SHOULD be bullish for bitcoin don't seem to be working. Hmmmmm!
  • GOLD backs off $2.00 after yesterday's nice rally
  • Still needing a solid close above $1,320 to be very bullish
  • That would bring in buyers for a move back to $1,350-$1,355
  • Our price target is $1,395-$1,400

CURRENT TRADING POSITION: Long BITCOIN & GOLD
