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, 9/4/2018
- A good long weekend for BITCOIN and ETHEREUM; GOLD, not so much
- BITCOIN continues to be the crypto leader. Solid upside momentum, upside target $8,500
- ETHEREUM is following BTC, but at a slower pace. If BTC gets to $8,500 (as expected) ETH should see $330-$340.
- Going to hard to get ETH through $300
- Think of BITCOIN being gold and ETH being silver. One always lags
- GOLD is being held hostage to the dollar. Dollars strength=gold weakness
- GOLD breaking $1,195 should trigger a retest of $1,175-$1,180
- Inflation, geopolitical issues, currency problems, etc. being ignored by gold investors.........FOR NOW
- Downside support areas; BTC $6,000; ETH $225; GOLD $1,175-$1,180
- Long term bullish on BITCOIN and GOLD. Neutral on ETH.
CURRENT TRADING POSITION:
LONG BITCOIN and GOLD
