The Silver markets have been very noisy during the session on Tuesday, but ultimately it looks as if we are going to see some type of attempt to break out to the upside. I think that short-term pullbacks are likely to offer value that people are looking to take advantage of.

Silver markets were very noisy during training on Tuesday, as we continue to see a lot of volatility around the world. The market found support just above the $16.55 level during trading, and then went much higher as market participants got very bullish. I think that the market will continue to see a lot of volatility going forward, as Silver is notoriously volatile anyway. I believe that the US dollar will have the usual influence on this market, as the US dollar falling in value will help lift the Silver markets higher. I think that the $16.50 level is going to be a certain amount of support for the market, extending down to the $16.40 level. I think that buying dips will continue to be buying opportunities, but I would be cautious about putting too much money to work, unless you have a longer-term time horizon like I do.

For myself, I’ve been buying physical silver for months now, as I anticipate that given enough time we will continue to go higher. The $16 level underneath is essentially the “floor” in the market, just as the $17 level above is resistance. If we can break above the $17 level, I think that the market could go to the $17.25 level, perhaps the $17.50 level. I’m cautious, but also recognize that there are buying opportunities just waiting to happen. The lower this market goes, the more likely I am to put money to work.
