Bitcoin

Bitcoin tops at the all time high at 4900/4979 & trades sideways on Wednesday to consolidate gains. As I have warned above, there is the risk of a double top sell signal. It is worth trying shorts on any gains towards 4900 today, with stops above 5050 because the downside potential is huge & therefore the profit potential. Minor support at 4730/20 has been tested but below here targets 4620/10. On further losses look for the next target & a short term buying (scalping) opportunity at 4560/50 where a low for the day is likely...and a bounce to 4610/20, perhaps 4710/20 possible. However longs need stops below 4370.

A break above 5050 stops us out of any shorts & acts as a buy signal despite overbought conditions, targeting 5080/5100 then 5240/50.

Gold stays bid, still below $5,100

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place on Wednesday, retargeting the $5,100 zone per troy ounce on the back of humble gains in the US Dollar and firm US Treasury yields across the curve. Moving forward, the yellow metal’s next test will come from the release of US CPI figures on Friday.
