rading Summary Notes for Tuesday, 10/16/2018
- Slowly and quietly BITCOIN and ETH are sneaking up. Support areas are holding
- Fidelity setting up "in-house" crypto solutions and NYSE's Bakkt making crypto trading more credible
- Institutions are going to be able to invest with more certainty and safety
- While all the activity and interest are in equities, the cryptos are suffering neglect. But for how long?
- So far GOLD has been the new rising star. Don't look now (or do), BTC and ETH will be next
- BITCOIN buying opportunity? I say YES. ETH? Cautious
- GOLD,GOLD GOLD! That’s the gold we have been expecting and calling for. Traditional flight to safety.
- GOLD upside target $1,350. Expect some “backing and filling” but buy the dips
- BITCOIN downside support at $6,000, upside target $8,500
- ETH downside at $185-$190 (new), upside target $300
- Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Short neutral bullish on ETH
CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
LONG BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD
