Trading Summary Notes for Thursday, 7/26/2018

  • Very quiet trade but both BITCOIN and ETHEREUM add a few bucks
  • BITCOIN upside momentum strong and intact. GO BITCOIN!
  • ETHEREUM drifting around in trendless trade. ETH lags the leader.....BITCOIN
  • BITCOIN near term upside target $9,500-$10,000
  • GOLD sinks ahead of expected strong second quarter GDP number (over 4%)
  • Thinking goes like this; strong GDP means higher rates means stronger dollar
  • Inflation being totally ignored. Some are getting concerned, gold market isn't.....yet
  • Geopolitical events, currency risks and INFLATION not in the market
  • GOLD……when there are no reasons to buy………that’s when you buy
  • Risk/reward in GOLD………..risking $20 (down to $1,200) to make $200 ($14,000 target)

CURRENT TRADING POSITION:

LONG BITCOIN AND GOLD
