Silver markets rolled over during trading on Tuesday, reaching down towards the $16.10 level. I believe that there is significant support at the $16 level underneath, which is an area that has been important more than once. I suspect that there will be value hunters in this general vicinity, and therefore I look at this as a potential buying opportunity, but I also recognize there are a lot of variables.

Silver markets rolled over during the trading session on Tuesday, reaching down towards the $16.10 level. There is a lot of support at $16 as well, longer-term as well as short term. I think that value hunters may come back into the marketplace, but I would be cautious about throwing too much money into the markets. Even if we break below there, I think that the hard “floor” in the market is the $15 level, an area that has attracted a lot of attention in the past. At that point, I would become much more aggressive in my buying.

I believe that eventually Silver goes looking towards the $20, but if we find out that the Federal Reserve is looking to raise interest rates 4 times this year, that could cause a surge lower, and perhaps a recalculation of the fair value of silver. Ultimately, I do like precious metals but if we get massive interest rate hikes, that will cause the US dollar to rally somewhat. This could also be influenced by the “risk on/risk off” attitude of the world, so while I like the longer-term outlook for silver, this is a market that you need to trade in small positions and perhaps even with physical silver to take advantage of any value. The next couple of sessions could be very difficult and dangerous.
