rading Summary Notes for Wednesday, 9/12/2018

  • ETHEREUM! We have our answer; a major fund having to sell a big hunk of their long position. Ugly, but selling may be done for a while
  • BOUGHT ETH @ $175
  • ETH downside $155-$160 (?); Upside target $300. Great risk reward
  • Long liquidation (selling) has been persistent for months. Is the/they done selling? Perhaps..
  • BITCOIN asserted itself as the leader of all crypto. New move higher coming? BTC very firm today and looking good
  • BITCOIN downside support at $6,000, upside target $8,500
  • GOLD leaps back over $1,200. Have been VERY bullish on GOLD and looks good
  • A solid close above $1,210 should bring in buyers; target $1,250. So far, $1,190-$1,195 is holding. After that $1,175-$1,180 is support
  • Wage inflation beginning to become a hot topic. Price inflation tends to follow higher wages. INFLATION very underestimated
  • Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Short term bullish on ETH.

CURRENT TRADING POSITION:

LONG BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD
