#FTSE #DOW The President Trump initiative of imposing import tariffs, generally in retaliation for tariffs imposed against American products, seems to be provoking some amusing side effects. Apparently, Tariffs will cause crypto currency to soar, if we believe some analysts. Equally, other analysts predict crypto shall collapse, due to the Tariff wars… Similar nonsense was broadcast over the price of Gold, a commodity which is currently trading very slightly higher than we can calculate! Conventional logic suggests Gold should experience some collywobbles at current levels but, if the market is emphatic in assigning an ambition against Gold prices, goodness knows how high it could go.
It is certainly the case Bitcoin isn’t exactly showing many great ambitions at present. While it was spiked to 85,271 dollars, this was enacted thanks to a manipulation gap at the open of trade. Visually, this surge is something we feel cannot be trusted, due to the obvious Blue downtrend since the start of this year. Despite the opportunity, the market failed to push the value of Bitcoin above the downtrend and this makes us cautious for the future. It was certainly an easy and straightforward goal to better but, with an impressive degree of control, the market has avoided piercing the Blue downtrend.
In a loss scenario where the market is now currently messing around, below 84,500 looks like it has the potential of dribbling downhill as movement to an initial 79,339 looks possible with our secondary, if broken, at an eventual bottom and rebound (maybe) at 76,045 dollars.
However, Bitcoin does not require a great deal of work to display the potential for surprise recovery. Above just 86,000 theoretically should trigger recovery to an initial 87,750 with our secondary, if bettered, at 90,000 dollars, kicking open the door for some further impressive gains.
For now, we are far from confident Bitcoin shall exhibit recovery.

Our commentary is in two sections. Immediately below are today’s updated comments. If our commentary remains valid, the share can be found in the bottom section which has a RED heading.

Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
