Trading Summary Notes for Tuesday, 5/8/201

• BITCOIN settles a little lower, trades higher in later trading
• The lower $9,000 area seems to be holding. Selling drying up?
• BITCOIN came under pressure as Warren Buffet, Charlie Munger and Bill Gates voiced their opinions yesterday morning on TV
• Another 'assault' on the $10,000 coming? Our near term price target is $12,000-$12,500
• GOLD steadies, and holds, slightly above $1,300. Building a base?
• A close above $1,320 would bring in buyers for a move back to $1,350-$1,355
• President Trump pulling out of Iran deal had little effect on trading
• Inflation will bring in gold buyer. Our price target is $1,395-$1,400
