Silver markets were a bit negative during the trading session on Tuesday, as the US dollar strength in a bit. Ultimately, I think that we are going to continue to see a lot of noise, but I do see significant support underneath that could lift the market.

Silver daily chart, February 21, 2018

Silver markets went sideways initially during the day on Tuesday, but then dipped to reach down towards the $16.45 level, before bouncing a bit towards the $16.60 level. I think that the market has a bit of resistance above at the $16.70 level, so we need to break above there before the market continues to go higher, perhaps reaching towards $17.00 level after that. I think that the market will continue to be very noisy, but right now looks as if we are trying to build a bit of a base underneath. This dictates that we will probably have a pullback that allows buyers to pick up a bit of value.

I believe that the market has plenty of support underneath, and I do think that it holds. I think somewhere near the $16.20 level; the support gets serious. Longer-term, I believe in buying and holding silver, but I would do so with the physical metals, not necessarily get involved in futures. I could get involved in CFD markets, as it allows you to lever down. I do not like the idea of have the leverage in the Silver markets, because they can be so erratic. I believe that the $17 level above will cause a bit of resistance, but I think if we can break above there and continue to go higher. Overall, I do not have any interest in shorting the Silver markets, as I believe we have been basing for quite some time.
