rading Summary Notes for Friday, 9/7/2018
- Nothing new since yesterday. ETH worst acting (off $9), BTC firming up around the $6,400 area (off $19) and dollar perked up so GOLD ticked down. BIG YAWN!
- SO, same old same old from yesterday
- BITCOIN story still intact. With any new asset class there will be “fits and starts.” Still sticking to $8,500 near term target
- Downside support areas; BTC $6,000
- ETH just hit (and went through) our downside target of $225. May see $200
- GOLD turned lower and settled at $1,196 after being up a little earlier in the day
- Inflation, geopolitical issues, currency problems, etc. being ignored by gold investors………FOR NOW
- So far, $1,190-$1,195 is holding. After that $1,175-$1,180 is support. Its all about the dollar.
- Getting VERY bullish on GOLD
- Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Neutral on ETH.
CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
LONG BITCOIN and GOLD
