Trading Summary Notes for Wednesday, 4/8/20

SEQUESTURED AT HOME? PANDEMIC FEARS? MARKET PANDAMONIUM? WHAT NEXT?   GLAD YOU ASKED.

Having taken a few months off while preparingto launch a new investment fund AND a new newsletter/website (Digital Wealth News) I thought it might be time to look forward. Coincidentally, I also noticed that the last TAYLOR REPORT back in mid-December had BTC and ETH each basically the same price as today BUT GOLD is over $200 higher. So, let’s look ahead.

  • First off, upside target (near term) for BITCOIN looks like $8,500WHY? Having been caught in the “sell everything NOW” month of Coronavirus March, BITCOIN has rebounded nicely. The $3,500-$4,000 area has proven to be a rock solid bottom.
  • With the virus sparking a conversation among global central banks to move toward digital fiat currencies, BTC will gain more acceptance and respect.
  • Remember……nobody will ever get a virus from touching a digital currency…..or BITCOIN  (lol)
  • ETH followed “big sister” BTC down with the market melt down and, of course, is following BTC back up
  • ETH should see $200 again as BITCOIN rallies. Let’s look at $205-$210
  • GOLD shook a whole lot of some long holders out. Let’s say $1,450-$1,460 is solid to place to be a buyer for next move up  (this call was made in mid-December….thank you very much)
  • GOLD upside target is $2,500……yup, $2,500
  • Remember(part 2)…………nobody gets a virus from gold and certainly not digital gold
  • Ignore the rhetoric. Forward looking, after throwing money to ensure a recovery, inflation may be on the rise and geopolitical/pandemic risks are only getting stronger. Positive for GOLD
  • GOLD? Stay long. Super powerful move under way. $2,500 next target. Buy the dips.  
  • ANOTHER VERY STUPID COMMENT? I SAW SOMEONE SAID GOLD (along with BTC) COULD GO TO ZERO. HASN’T DONE THAT IN THOUSANDS OF YEARS SO GUESS THE SHORTS ARE GOING TO HAVE A LUCKY DAY? (sic)

Current trading positions:  LONG BITCOIN, ETH & GOLD
