CME CF Bitcoin Reference Rate & CME CF Bitcoin Real Time Index CME ETH_RR_USD Ethereum Reference Rate & CME ETH_RTI_USD Ethereum Real Time IndexTrading Summary Notes for Tuesday, 6/5/2018
- Very redundant. BITCOIN, ETHEREUM & GOLD all move in very small increments
- Volatility and trading interest are on summer vacation (or winter vacation in Australia and South America)
- Bitcoin 'dances' above and below $7,500, Ethereum keeps testing $600 but can't get solidly above. Gold struggles around $1,300.
- Choppy (not volatile) markets may be here for a while
- STRONG case can be made for BITCOIN, ETHEREUM and GOLD building longer term base at these levels
- Currently neutral on gold, long term bullish on BTC & ETH
CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
LONG BITCOIN
