Trading Summary Notes for Tuesday, 8/23/22:
What’s new?
A down week (Tue-Tue). The end of August is always slow and investors/traders/advisors (if they are not on vacation) are waiting for the annual Fed symposium in Jackson Hole, WY this week. Perhaps BIG news on interest rates? Perhaps no NEW news on interest rates? Gotta wait and see. BITCOIN, ETH, GOLD and the S&P 500 all declined.
BITCOIN dropped 9% (Tue-Tue) back to the lower area ($21K-$22K) of its trading range which seems stuck in the $20K-$25K range.
ETH lost 12% (wk-wk) as the ‘merge’ becomes closer to reality (Sept)
GOLD declined 1.5% (Tue-Tue) and continues going nowhere
S&P 500 gave back 4% (wk-wk) losing a big hunk of earlier gains
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.
THE NOTES ABOVE LOOK STIKINGLY LIKE WHAT I WROTE LAST WEEK. THEY ARE. I SEE NO REASON TO CHANGE THAT THINKING.
INTEREST RATES ARE GOING TO SURPRISE MANY AT HOW HIGH THEY WILL GO. BE READY.
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.
