Silver markets were very choppy during the trading session on Monday, as we returned from the weekend. We are sitting above the vital $16.50 level and catching her breath after a major meltdown on Friday. So the question now is whether we get more of the same selling pressure, or are we trying to find our footing?

Silver daily chart, June 19, 2018

The Silver market has been very choppy during the trading session on Monday, using the $60.50 level as support. The level of course is important from a psychological standpoint, but also from a structural standpoint as you can see that the rectangle drawn on the chart shows that there is a lot of order flow in this general vicinity. It is because of this that I think that the Silver markets will be able to rally if we don’t get some type of major trade war escalation, or the US dollar escalating in value. I think that if we can break above the $16.61 level, the market will probably continue to try to recover those losses. We could go as high as $17.25 after that. However, it’s not can it be an easy trade.

If we break down below the $16.30 level, that will more than likely send the market down to the $16 level next, perhaps even lower. However, there is so much in the way of support below that I think that the downside is somewhat limited in general. I believe in the longer-term viability of a silver rally, and I have been buying physical silver for quite some time. In reality, I think of this more as an investment than anything else and I do anticipate that we will eventually go looking towards the $20 level, but we need some type of catalyst, something that we are sorely missing right now.
