  • BITCOIN eases off on after weekend profit taking. Late trad has BTC moving up again and getting ready for an assault on $6,000
  • The “real” congestion/resistance area is $6,400-$6,500. Look for $6k to not be a big deal but make lots of headlines.
  • ETH seems to have pick up some buyers. Its trading higher in late trade and looking at moving toward $200
  • News that Fidelity is only weeks away from offering BITCOIN trading to institutions obviously adding strength. More big firms will be following Fidelity
  • Should/when BITCOIN pierces $6,000 might be a good time to lighten up a bit. Its been a nice move so far
  • GOLD firmed up and seems to be finding some buyers down around the $1,260 area. U.S. sending a carrier battle group to the Persian Gulf helped GOLD
  • The “action” (or lack of) in GOLD is very similar to the price movement in BITCOIN earlier this year. Don’t be left watching when GOLD explodes up
  • Way to many geopolitical risks/events that are being overlooked will also make GOLD explode (?)…..but again, when
  • Summing up; BITCOIN near term target $6,500     ETH $190-$195      GOLD $1,400

Current trading positions; LONG BITCOIN, ETH AND GOLD
