Trading Summary Notes for Tuesday, 8/16/22:
What’s new?
Biggest news of the week? BlackRock entered into a partnership with Coinbase to be able to offer BlackRock clients access to BITCOIN. And, AND, BlackRock announced a new product for US clients…….a trust that will allow those clients to invest in SPOT BITCOIN. That’s big.
BITCOIN picked up 3% ($750) on the week (Tue-Tue) continuing its ‘stealth’ rally. BTC did touch a tick or two above $25K.
ETH once again proved to be the star of the week. ETH added a little over 11% ($190) for the Tue-Tue week. ETH traded a hair above $2K and has increased 100% since hitting bottom ($1K) a month or so ago.
GOLD did its “normal thing” going nowhere. GOLD lost 1% between last Tuesday and this Tuesday. Sigh!!
The S&P 500 also did its “normal” (abnormal?) thing, tacking on a whopping 4.5% week-week.
What to do now?
Buy BITCOIN dips. The dips are getting shallower. BTC is in a ‘stealth rally’ attracting little attention That’s good. The $18K-$20K area is the bottom, offering a great risk-reward situation. BITCOIN is trading with higher lows and getting higher highs. Nice.
Buy ETH. The march higher continues. The ETH ‘merge’ is on track and buying should continue.
Avoid GOLD. Dead money. Sell or sell short. GOLD goes lower.
The S&P 500 will have bear market rallies/bounces but that’s all they are. Reduce long positions and sell short S&P 500 rallies. The worst is yet to come. This is NOT a new bull run.
SUMMER RALLIES ARE FUN, BUT FALL ALWAYS COMES. WAY TOO MANY BULLS OUT THERE. JUST A “RE-TEST” OF THE LOWS WILL BE CONSIDERED BULLISH AS THE EQUITY MARKET DROPS SIGNIFICANTLY.
NEW TARGETS:
- BITCOIN 2022…….$35,000-$40,000
- ETH 2022…………$2,500-$2,700
- GOLD……….$1,650-$1675
- S&P 500 2022……..DOWN…….DOWN……DOWN……...LOOKING AT 3,250
Current trading positions:
- LONG BITCOIN
- LONG ETH
- SHORT GOLD
- SHORT S&P 500
We compare the price of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & the S&P 500. We use the CME Bitcoin Indexes (BRR & BRTI) and the CME Ethereum Indexes (ETH_RR_USD) & (ETH_RTI_USD) for reference as well as the London Bullion Market afternoon price settlement on the digital assets & gold.
