  • FIRST:  SOLD ETH LONG TRADING POSITION @ $167.50
  • BITCOIN pushes through $6,000 accelerating its rally. Is this ‘push’ tied to the big Consensus conference next week?
  • It seems that every year just before the Consensus conference in NY BITCOIN gets a big spike up. Why? Because its a very big and influential conference and new exciting bullish announcements in the crypto/digital asset space come to life
  • Crazy? Maybe, maybe not. In any event, we have had a $6,500 near term target for BITCOIN for months. May be close to taking some profits. Can always use buy stops placed above the market to re-enter if momentum keeps going
  • Improving fundamentals continue to make BITCOIN a strong long term holding
  • GOLD continues to seek out support. Again, the $1,260-$1,265 area looks very solid
  • Repeating from past reports;   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
  • Target for GOLD still $1,400

Current trading positions; LONG BITCOIN AND GOLD
