rading Summary Notes for Thursday, 11/1/2018

  • Struggling and drifting.....for now.....both BITCOIN and ETH sink and sell off slightly and then drift back up
  • BITCOIN continues to hold above $6,000 and climbs back up to $6,500
  • ETH dips below $200 and rallies back up to around $205
  • Genuine lack of interest in the crypto space right now. That usually leads to strong upside spike signaling a new upward move. Timing? You only know AFTER it happens
  • Very positive risk/reward for buying BTC and ETH
  • BITCOIN downside support at $6,000, upside target $8,500
  • ETH downside at $185-$190, upside target $300
  • GOLD explodes up today. GOLD technically very strong. GOLD looks to have broken out of long time $1,200 +/- area
  • News today that President Trump wants to put sanctions on the sale of GOLD by Venezuela to raise capital (raid the treasury of Venezuela) may have helped spur rally. Also, inflation is picking up (as we have predicted) led by wages
  • Wage inflation always leads to price inflation. Very bullish for GOLD
  • GOLD upside target $1,350. Yes, that’s $1,350. Expect some “backing and filling” but buy the dips
  • Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Short term bullish on ETH

CURRENT TRADING POSITION:

LONG BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD
