- SOLD BITCOIN @ $10,820 ON 6/27
- BITCOIN drops over $3,000 in a day. Short squeeze over? End of quarter profit taking? Facebook Libra enthusiasm done?
- Could be all of the above. Big run-up before end of quarter and then investors sell to lock in their gains.
- BITCOIN volatility is back and with summer in full swing the liquidity is reduced……meaning bigger swings
- What now????? Still think this is a very powerful new upside move, but too far to fast. Let’s see where BTC is the first few days of July (the new quarter). $9,000-$9,500 might look “interesting” for a run up to $15,000
- ETH works so hard to go up, but goes down really easy. Just saying.
- Not a big fan of ETH. Back to $250-$275?
- GOLD has lots of new life. Upside intact
- Expect a brief period of time to “zig and zag” above the $1,400 round number before resuming rally. That’s what you call “backing and filling” or basing.
- Like to odds of seeing $1,650-$1,700 for GOLD
Current trading positions: LONG GOLD
