rading Summary Notes for Thursday, 9/20/2018

  • BITCOIN jumps back up over $6,400 with a little more active trading today. BTC is the leader in the crypto sector so watch it carefully
  • ETH added a few dollars but still is tied to whatever BITCOIN does. It currently has no life of its own
  • Cryptos got some life overall. Has trading money been in cannabis (marijuana) stocks and maybe now returning to crypto? Just thinking
  • GOLD looking very strong and moving up. Big test of $1,210 is coming
  • GOLD, a solid close above $1,210 should bring in buyers; target $1,250
  • Inflation becoming a bigger topic of conversation. Don't overlook it
  • BITCOIN downside support at $6,000, upside target $8,500
  • ETH downside at $165-$170, upside $300 (but needs a very broad crypto rally)
  • Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Short term bullish on ETH.

CURRENT TRADING POSITION:

LONG BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD
