Silver markets rallied nicely on Thursday, reaching towards the $16.85 level. We have gained over 1%, and it looks as if we are making a challenge to the $17 handle.

Silver markets have rallied nicely during the trading session on Thursday, perhaps getting slightly overbought at one point, but have turned around to show signs of strength again. Ultimately, I believe that this market will reach towards the upside and perhaps even the $17 level in the short term, which has been important more than once. If we can clear that level, then I think the $17.50 level gives us an opportunity to aim for higher levels as it has been a nice target in the past. I believe that the $16.50 level underneath is going to act as support now, as it was previous resistance. I like the idea of buying the dips longer-term, and I believe that this is a market that is likely to be one that you can invest in more than trade.

I think that the idea of buying bits and pieces of silver along the way for a retirement account makes a lot of sense. I think that at this point it’s likely that longer-term traders are buying physical silver, as the volatility and the futures market makes it very difficult to deal with for a longer-term move, as rolling over contracts can be very expensive. CFD markets could also give you an opportunity as well, so I think that short-term pullbacks could be thought of as buying opportunities in that market. I think that the market will continue to be noisy based upon what’s going on with the US dollar of course, so I like the idea of waiting for lower pricing before start buying. If you’re longer-term trader, that means buying silver in its physical form. Otherwise, buying dips in the CFD market or even the futures market is probably the way to go.
