  • Which way for BITCOIN? After a giant run-up to over $8,000 followed by a $1,000+ plunge, BTC seems “happy” at these levels for now
  • Looks like the $7,500-$8,000 area for BITCOIN may be the range for a while
  • If (IFBITCOIN begins moving above $8,000 then a move to $10,000 would be a really good bet
  • ETH softening again. ETH may be basing, say in the $225-$250 area
  • Obviously if BITCOIN runs higher ETH will follow ($300?). But, if BITCOIN spends time wandering around ETH will soften more. Neutral on ETH
  • GOLD seems destined to trade between $1,265-$1,270 and $1,300…….for now
  • China trade talks, strong dollar, Brexit, political uncertainty, etc, etc creating a bull/bear tug-of-war for GOLD
  • Basing? I say yes. Again GOLD looks just like BITCOIN did at $3,500 right before it took off

Current trading positions: LONG GOLD
