rading Summary Notes for Tuesday, 9/11/2018
- Going nowhere. BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD suffer from lack of interest
- BITCOIN, and all cryptos facing, some tax selling pressure?
- BITCOIN downside support at $6,000, upside target $8,500
- ETH is just plain being liquidated. Selling pressure has not let up and is trading even lower after today's close
- Very difficult to assess a downside target for ETH......lets say $150-$160?
- GOLD stable at just under $1,200, unchanged
- Getting VERY bullish on GOLD. A solid close above $1,210 should bring in buyers; target $1,250
- Wage inflation beginning to become a hot topic. Price inflation tends to follow higher wages. INFLATION very underestimated
- So far, $1,190-$1,195 is holding. After that $1,175-$1,180 is support. Its all about the dollar
- Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Neutral on ETH.
CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
LONG BITCOIN and GOLD
