rading Summary Notes for Thursday, 11/8/2018
- The big three........BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD.........all shed minor amounts in a very quiet trading day. U.S mid-term elections and Federal Reserve comments had no effect
- BITCOIN bumped up to $6,500 but could not close above it. A move above $6,500 for BITCOIN would be very positive
- Volatility in the crypto sector has been very muted with most moves fairly low key
- ETH holding well above the $200 "floor" and seems to have picked up some quiet buying
- The BITCOIN & ETH ‘stealth’ rally continues. Slowly, with no fanfare, a steady climb is beginning
- Very positive risk/reward for buying BTC and ETH
- After recent gains, GOLD experienced some softness today. GOLD’S upside still appears intact……….buy the dips
- GOLD seems to be shrugging off prospects of continuing interest rate hikes. News already in the market?
- GOLD upside target $1,350. Yes, that’s $1,350. Expect some “backing and filling”
- Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Short term bullish on ETH
CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
LONG BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD
