Trading Summary Notes for Monday, 7/30/2018

  • After a sharp Friday dip, BITCOIN recovers and holds solid gains
  • "Buy the dip" mentality now in play for BITCOIN. Near term target still $9,500-$10,000
  • BITCOIN is the market leader with strong upside momentum
  • ETHEREUM lost a whooping 2 cents since Friday. ETH is "dead money" currently
  • ETH may see $500 IF and WHEN BTC hits $10,000. Stay with the leader......BITCOIN
  • GOLD hanging around $1,220-$1,225. Concerns over dollar strength and interest rates are a headwind
  • Federal Reserve meeting this week. No change in interest rate this time expected
  • 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
