  • After suffering a bad week last week (dropping below $4,000) it appeared that the weekend might get a bit “nasty” for BITCOIN…………..and ETH
  • Both BTC and ETH firmed up, held steady, “treaded water” and then turned higher in late Monday afternoon trading (after London ‘close’)
  • Another bottom? Will BITCOIN ever resume a long LONG climb? Will BITCOIN ever see $20,000 again? Or $50,000? The answer is YES! When? That’s the big question and, lets be clear. NOBODY knows
  • With more and more institutional infrastructure being built out, and regulators dragging their feet to establish rules, timing is hard to forecast.
  • Taking a LONG term view on BITCOIN (and to a lesser extent on ETH) acquiring BTC “down” here should be very rewarding
  • Buying BTC $3,500-$3,700 (traders use stops at $3,250) and add to momentum buying above $4,200 looks like a good strategy. Near term target $6,500
  • ETH will follow BTC. If BTC goes to $4,200 ETH should see $150. If BTC reaches $6,500 expect ETH to see $200. ETH traders acquiring ‘down’ here should use $105 stops
  • Lets be really clear; GOLD is in a new long term bull market. It appears it will break above $1,300 at any time. Near term target is $1,400
  •  A close above $1,305 would be very bullish
  •  A slight pullback in GOLD to $1,265-$1,275 would not be unusual. Buy the dips
  •  LONG TERM BULLISH ON BITCOIN AND GOLD. NEUTRAL ON ETH.

Current trading positions; LONG BITCOIN AND GOLD
