• BITCOIN gets solid weekend buying, pushes well above $9K
• Selling returns pushing bitcoin down to just under $9K, basically unchanged from Friday
• Seems bitcoin has a large seller that sells into rallies. Japan whale??
• Chatter of "new" opinions of a bitcoin/stock market correlation are very far fetched
• Bitcoin rallies may be muted until a large seller is complete. When?? No guess.
• GOLD adds $1 in super quiet trade
• Gold seems to be stuck in a very tight trading range.....$1,310-$1,340
• Still very bullish on gold
• Gold is getting ready to challenge $1,400……………at some point. $1,350 first
