Silver Price Forecast February 2, 2018, Technical Analysis

Silver markets fell significantly during the trading session on Thursday, as we await the jobs number today. That makes sense, as we are trying to find plenty of support underneath, especially near the vinyl $17 level. I believe that the market will find plenty of reason to go higher over the longer term, mainly in the form of a shrinking US dollar.

Silver daily chart, February 02, 2018

Silver markets have sold off significantly during the trading session on Thursday, but there is plenty of support underneath, especially near the $17 level. The level has offered a lot of volume and interest, and I think that today’s job number will have a massive influence on where the US dollar goes, and of course I suspect that it will have a massive influence on where Silver goes. I believe that the jobs number will cause a massive amount of volatility, but at the end of the day I would anticipate that the market will probably try to go higher over the longer term. I think that eventually we will go looking towards the $18 level, but I also recognize that the other side of the trade is reaching down to the $16.80 level. If we break down below that level, then the market could fall apart but at this point it looks to me as if precious metals are starting to pick up a lot of interest. I believe that longer-term traders are starting to go higher, but Silver course is very volatile.

Ultimately, if we break down below the $16.80 level, then I think that we probably go down towards the $16 level next. Ultimately though, I think that the US dollar is going to continue to fall, mainly because there will be less interest rate hikes than originally anticipated. This is a longer-term trade, so keep your leverage low.
