Silver markets were a bit noisy during the trading session on Friday as one would expect, because after all it was Nonfarm Payroll Friday. The US dollar strengthened a bit, which has worked against the value of silver, but shortly after that we started to see bits of support.

Silver markets continue to be very choppy as we have seen over the last 24 hours, but at this point I think the $14.70 level is offering support, while the $14.85 level above is offering short-term resistance. This is a market that of course is highly sensitive to the strength of the US dollar, so it is holding up surprisingly well considering we seen a move towards the greenback after the figures. Perhaps this is due to safety buying, because quite frankly there are a lot of issues around the world and silver is a quick way to make a safety trade.

Even if we do break down, I think that the $14.50 level underneath is massive support, just as the $14.25 level underneath areas. The market has been consolidating for a while and I think it has its heart set on trying to break above the $15 level. It is going to take several attempts to do so, so don’t be surprised at all if we see several pullbacks on the way up to that level. After all, it’s a large come around, psychologically significant figure, and it’s also a structurally important level. If we can break above the $15 level, then silver can really start to pick up some momentum, and I would have a price target of $17. In the meantime, I believe in buying dips but I do so in small increments as this market can be quite volatile at times.
