Silver markets fell during the trading session on Friday, reaching down towards the $16.70 level, an area that has offered a little bit of noise in the past, but I think longer-term silver is going to be consolidating for the long term. Eventually, I expect a longer-term move to the upside, but this is a market that’s going to be slow to move.

Silver daily chart, February 19, 2018

Silver markets continue to accumulate and churn in the overall consolidated region that we have been in for some time. I think that Silver is difficult to trade for anything between a short scalp, or some type of longer-term investment. Because of this, I think that short-term trading opportunities can present themselves, if you are a leveraged trader. I would not look for major moves, at least not in the near term. As you can see, I have the stochastic oscillator on the chart, and then tells me when it’s overbought or oversold, and therefore I would trade the markets as such using the same indicator.

Alternately, if you prefer longer-term moves, then you are accumulating physical silver at this point. There is an impossibility to this market from a leveraged standpoint if you are long-term focused. You simply cannot be leveraged in a market that is going sideways in a $2 range. In general, though, I think it does offer a lot of opportunities for those of you who are quick enough to take advantage of them, with a bias to the upside overall. The $16 level underneath should be massively supportive, and essentially the “floor” in the short-term trading range. Alternately, I believe that the $17.50 level is very resistive above. I think that most traits will probably involve $.20 or so in duration at best.
