Trading Summary Notes for Wednesday, 8/15/2018

  • BITCOIN holds $6,000 and bounces up to almost $6,400
  • ETHEREUM rallies up to just short of $300
  • Short covering and some bargain hunting help both BTC and ETH
  • CRYPTO PANIC OVER?? NOT YET!
  • Expect BITCOIN to break down under $6,000 in a panic. Target $4,500-$5,000
  • ETH to test $200 in a panic
  • Crypto capitulation coming. Selling climax would be a tremendous buying opportunity. Panic at the top ($20,000) and a panic at the bottom
  • One big word for GOLD; Dollar, Dollar DOLLAR
  • Dollar's strength just kicking GOLD'S butt
  • When the turn comes (and it will) GOLD will explode UP.
  • Inflation still underestimated
  • Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Neutral on ETH.

CURRENT TRADING POSITION:

LONG GOLD
