Buy

Not much movement in the recent week. But there is a new Buy signal for Bitcoin.
Bonds TLT is double red and falling to new multi-year lows. Higher interest rates could start to weigh on stocks as well.

Stock positions:

VMI, one of our special entries, is closing in on its RevL. If it goes into bullish mode, then that would be another spBuy trade that gets over the main hurdle. Once an spBuy position goes into bullish mode, almost all risk disappears from that trade.
