PreMarketMoves - 9 January 2018 - Dow and oil futures, watching RIPPLE SLIDE, BTC PREDICTIONS and more!

in #money7 years ago
In PreMarketMoves, I cover my predictions for crypto and U.S. traditional markets opening today. In MarketMoves, usually later in the evening, I cover what has happened all day across all markets, and review my earlier expectations (and sometimes my trades).

Big points

  • Expecting Dow futures (/YM) to continue upward through today - UPDATE: and look at that, pre-market moving up. Nice morning money.
  • No big earnings I'm interested in, unless you like WD40, but LPCN binary pharma is the one to watch this week (~70M cap)
  • VIX volume still making me think slight red tomorrow, slowing green today, take a look on CBOE

Crypto signals to watch today

  • BTC still leading the market of course. If it bounces off 14k on GDAX, I think we'll see stronger performance than the second half of tomorrow in it and alts. ETH ratio will bleed but come back harder.
  • I anticipated Ripple beginning slower growth today following news the dip was only CMC news, but it appears not. If the slide continues through $2.00 on Bitfinex, I think we'll see sub-$1.50 shortly after. Does anyone not remember the last big Ripple crash?
  • Will REP, AION, REQ, other ~100-500M cap ERC-20s continue to rise with Ether's relative stability?

Binary opportunities of the day

  • Again, basically no earnings plays :( - instead of doing some research, seriously, look at /CL
  • Of the week: I would bet $LPCN gets PDUFA clearance for 1021, their low-test drug. Market effects could be seen as late as Thursday

What I'm doing today

  • Increasing my BTC and ETH stacks if they break 14150 and 1000.
  • Might scalp /CL in the morning for just a few hundred profit before watching crypto moves
  • Adding to long tech (software and chip) Nasdaq positions
  • Continuing my percentage move into ETH. I see it running to 1500 soon, whether BTC is willing to go back to 20k or not.
