  • TAYLOR REPORT WILL BE OFF NEXT WEEK WHILE REVAMPING FINTEKNEWS AND A VACATION
  • BITCOIN’S strong rally hit the “wall” at $13,000. Sellers dropped BTC over $1,000 in short order and more weakness set in
  • So far nothing more than profit taking. BITCOIN needs to “re-group” before another rush higher. That may lead to a very slow August
  • Expect a test back to $10,000- $10,500 for BTC
  • ETH always drops faster than it goes up. Struggles to climb and gives gains back super fast.
  • Back to $250 as BITCOIN backs off?
  • GOLD having some real volatility around $1,400. Huge selloffs and huge rallies
  • Looks like a trading range above and below that $1,400 level of, say, $1,385-$1,425
  • GOLD reacting to interest rate speculation and srong dollar/weak dollar perceptions. Still looking for $1,650-$1,700
Current trading positions: LONG BITCOIN & GOLD
