Trading Summary Notes for Monday, 1/22/2018

• BITCOIN giving up most of the last rally. Sinking toward $10K
• SOLD BITCOIN ON A STOP AT $10,850 ON A STOP
• More sellers than buyers currently. Looks like another break under $10K
• Another selling "rout" will certainly create a lot of nervous investors. $8,000??
• GOLD doing just the opposite......strengthening
• Gold resistance at $1,350. A break above that price will lead to $1,395-$1,400
• Demand for gold getting stronger. Inflation fears/worries will persist in 2018
• A big story for 2018? Inflation led by strong wage increases.
• Top 2018 “HOT” picks………..both BITCOIN & GOLD (its only January remember)

CURRENT TRADING POSITION: Long GOLD
