Silver markets gapped higher at the open on Tuesday, pulled back slightly, and then rallied again to smash into a resistance barrier. With the lack of volume, it’s always going to be difficult to break out.
Silver markets gapped higher at the open on Tuesday, pulled back slightly, found buyers, and then rallied again. We smash into the $16.50 level, an area that has been important in the past. At this point, I believe Silver does go higher as the US dollar looks a bit vulnerable in general, but we may need to pull back to build up a bit of buying pressure. Once we can break above the $16.50 level the market can go higher, and will aim towards the $16.75 level, and then the $17 level after that. I think the $16 level underneath is supportive, but I think the $16.25 level between here and there is supportive as well. In other words, I think dips are buying opportunities in silver.
I’ve been buying physical silver for some time, and now I believe that since we are starting to see a bit of momentum, you can even start to dabble in the futures market. CFD traders of course will be attracted to this market as well, and I love those markets as it gives you the ability to play a position size that is much more appropriate. You can start out slowly, and once we get a breakout it’s time to start adding yet again. Adding repeatedly gives you an opportunity to build up a large position and take advantage of what has been a reasonably reliable consolidation area extending to the $18 level above. It is not until we break down below the $16 level that I would be worried about the uptrend
