rading Summary Notes for Sunday, 11/18/2018
- A little weekend softness hit both BITCOIN and ETH. Both rose back up Sunday to where they were the end of last week
- After last week's huge drop things have stabilized (?). Capitulation complete? BITCOIN and ETH bottom?
- So, where now? (from someone who did not see this……turn myself in). If this is the capitulation stage the risk reward for BITCOIN and ETH is a lot better. Lets say $5,000-$5,500 to buy BTC and $155-$165 for ETH
- Nothing fundamentally has changed EXCEPT investor fears
- GOLD, or GOLD, GOLD, GOLD. Love it. Interest rates have actually eased slightly as has the dollar
- Nervousness about geopolitical events, inflation and even higher interest rates will subside. GOLD’S upside still appears intact……….buy the dip
- GOLD upside target $1,350. Yes, that’s $1,350. Expect some “backing and filling”
- Still long term bullish on BITCOIN, GOLD and short term bullish on ETH
CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
LONG BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD
