- “Good news” sank BITCOIN, ETH and GOLD. A potential trade deal with China and the U.S. coupled with comments that inflation “is not, or will not, be a problem” put pressure on cryptos and gold
- Additionally, President Trump speaking out against the U.S. Federal Reserve and its policies caused investors to sell “riskier” assets (BTC, ETH, GOLD)
- Will the selling last? Oh, not for long. There are way to many problems floating around the globe to ignore
- BITCOIN, after the run up to over $4,000, is experiencing a normal pull back. Taking the stand that BITCOIN has bottomed and turned, the next “big” number is $4,500. Expect that number to be tested
- ETH is just following in BTC’s footsteps. If BITCOIN gets to our next target of $6,500, ETH should see $190-$195
- GOLD, after a big run up is pulling back…..sharper than I expected…..but still the long term up trend is intact
- Near term target for GOLD is $1,400. Buy the dips
- Way to0 much going on (positive) in the digital asset/crypto sector to dent the potential upside in BITCOIN, etc. GOLD, gotta have it
- LONG TERM BULLISH ON BITCOIN, ETH AND GOLD
Current trading positions; LONG BITCOIN, ETH AND GOLD
