CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate & CME CF Bitcoin Real Time Index CME ETH_RR_USD Ethereum Reference Rate & CME ETH_RTI_USD Ethereum Real Time IndexTrading Summary Notes for Monday, 6/4/2018
- Weekend strength in BITCOIN fades on Sunday, but Monday brings a slight rally
- ETHEREUM trades above $600 over the weekend, closes lower Sunday and rallies Monday
- Looking at both cryptos, nothing happening. $7,500 BITCOIN and $600 ETHEREUM seem to be the magnet drawing prices to those numbers
- Volatility non-existent. Traders strike? Building a base? Both?
- GOLD struggles around $1,300. Trade wars vs higher interest rates create a tug-o-war
- Just like the two cryptos, GOLD $1,300 seems like a magnet
- Strong case can be made for BITCOIN, ETHEREUM and GOLD building longer term base at these levels
- Choppy (not volatile) markets may be here for a while
- Currently neutral on gold, long term bullish on BTC & ETH
CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
LONG BITCOIN
