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 Tuesday, 7/17/2018
- Crypto explosion. After London close BITCOIN trades over $7,300, ETHEREUM over $500
- 8%-10% jump in prices in just over 30 minutes
- Better news of last week was overlooked.......South Korea to regulate cryptoexchanges, BlackRock exploring bitcoin products, Goldman Sachs new CEO very crypto friendly, etc.
- After subdued volume of late, today's volume spiked. Selling slows and good news comes......and upside explodes
- Looks like the $6,000 + – area may have been the bottom on this year's selloff (as we have written about)
- (from last several days writing) Risk/reward here too good to pass up. BTC……risking $2,000 (down to $4,500) to make $13,000 (back to $20K). Great odds
- GOLD drops big. Getting hard to find gold bulls
- Gold looks to test $1,200
- GOLD searching for a bottom. It's around here somewhere. Inflation will trump other “fears”
- Inflation is here and heating up. Gold investors/traders not paying attention…….yet
- Risk/reward in gold………..risking $25 (down to $1,200) to make $175 ($14,000 target)
CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
LONG BITCOIN AND GOLD
