Silver daily chart, May 15, 2017

Silver markets rallied during the Friday session, after bouncing off of the $16 level on Wednesday. This is a market that is testing a major uptrend, and that being the case the market looks likely to try to rally from here. I do recognize that there is a lot of exhaustion just above, but quite frankly the real fight is below at the $16 level. As long as we can stay above there, it’s likely that the buyers will remain, but if we were to break down below the $16 level, the market could fall rather precipitously. I believe that the next couple of sessions will continue to be very important, and look at a move above the $16.60 level as a buying opportunity, reaching towards the $17 level above. The market has been very negative as of late, so it would not surprise me at all to see a bit of a bounce from here. I believe that the $17 level above should be massively resistive, and it looks likely that it will have an effect on the market on the bounce. I believe as long as we can stay below the $17 level, it’s likely that the market will fall.

Volatility

I believe that the market is going to continue to be volatile, and the $17 level above is where I believe the longer-term decision will be made if we can go to the upside. We could get a bit of a bounce in the short-term, but that’s likely to be choppy and dangerous. I believe that a breakdown below the $16 level is actually the easier to trade today, as it would be so obvious. However, we have to work with what the market gives us, and react appropriately.
