Trading Summary Notes for Tuesday, 1/9/2018

• BITCOIN shakes off yesterday's "worries" and inches higher
• The $15K area seems to be a "way point" for now on bitcoin's journey. Market efficiency?
• Countries and regulators (China, South Korea, etc) can't constrain the strong bitcoin demand ("it won't die, it won't die")
• May be in a “choppy” trading market for a while. Let the hype settle down
• Price target on next big move.......$30K
• GOLD takes a break and drops a couple dollars.
• Interest rates tick up a touch, gold eases a touch
• A big story for 2018? Inflation led by strong wage increases. Very bullish for gold
• GOLD is in a strong uptrend. Looking at $1,350 near term
• Top 2018 “HOT” picks………..both BITCOIN & GOLD

CURRENT TRADING POSITION: Long BITCOIN & GOLD
