The Silver markets have rolled over significantly during the trading session on Monday, reaching down towards the $17 level. The market looks very likely to offer support, but I think it is only a matter of time before we bounced and go higher. Most of the selling pressure is due to the US dollar picking up value in the FX markets more than anything else, so therefore I’m looking for buying opportunity.
Silver markets should offer plenty of buying opportunities below, and I think that the $17 level would be an excellent area to see some type of buying pressure, and perhaps a bounce from a large, round, psychologically significant area that has been important in the past. I think that it is only a matter of time before the buyers return, so I’m looking for the greenback to roll over in the Forex markets before I start buying, as it should coincide nicely with a rally. I think they support at the $17 level extends down to the $16.80 level, as we have seen a bit of a “zone.”
If we break down below the $16.80 level, I think that the market would probably drop down to the $16.50 level after that. Ultimately, this is a market that should continue to be very noisy, but I think that the overall attitude should remain positive as the greenback is in more of a longer-term downtrend than anything else. I think Silver will continue to benefit, as we have seen money trying to find a home outside the United States.
Another thing that has helped is that Bitcoin markets have rolled over, which had initially offered a bit of a haven from the greenback, but now are just as prone to lose money. Because of this, I believe that longer-term precious metals will continue to attract a lot of buyers.
