rading Summary Notes for Thursday, 10/11/2018
- Are cryptos (BITCOIN & ETH) following equities? Is there a correlation?
- When fear strikes it spills into all sectors. There should NOT be any correlation between cryptos and equities. This could be a few days of fear ruling logic (fyi....which can happen)
- BITCOIN buying opportunity? I say YES. ETH? Cautious
- GOLD,GOLD GOLD! That's the gold we have been expecting and calling for. Traditional flight to safety.
- All GOLD supports under $1,200 held beautifully. This strong close above $1,210 is very bullish
- Higher rates rattle equities in the U.S. BUT GOLD has been pricing all that in for weeks
- GOLD upside target $1,350. Expect some "backing and filling" but buy the dips
- BITCOIN downside support at $6,000, upside target $8,500
- ETH downside at $200, upside target $300.
- Long term bullish on BITCOINand GOLD. Short neutral bullish on ET
CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
LONG BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD
