rading Summary Notes for Tuesday, 9/18/2018
- Nothing to report since nothing happened. BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD all had muted moves with barely any change
- There is a total lack of interest in these sectors. Why? No idea.
- So, lets just repeat;
- All three (BTC, ETH & GOLD) are caught in a “yo-yo” trading range. Up, down, up, down. Very little interest and only choppy trade
- BITCOIN downside support at $6,000, upside target $8,500
- ETH downside at $165-$170, upside $300
- GOLD, a solid close above $1,210 should bring in buyers; target $1,250. So far, $1,190-$1,195 is holding.
- Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Short term bullish on ETH.
CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
LONG BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD
