  • “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
