Silver Markets Technical Analysis

Silver rallied rather significantly during the trading session on Friday, as it looks like we are heading to the 200-Day EMA. At this point, the market is likely to continue to see a lot of noisy behavior, but at the same time, you have to recognize that we are in a larger consolidation area, with a $22.50 level underneath being massive support. Above, we have the $25.50 level offering resistance, and as we are closer to the bottom of the consolidation rectangle, it does make a certain amount of sense that the buyers have more momentum than the sellers.

Furthermore, we also saw the US dollar loses a lot of momentum during the Asian and European markets, so that obviously helps silver as well, as there is a negative correlation between the 2 assets. With that being the case, the market is likely to continue to see this market be volatile, but it’s not really until we break above the $24 level that the market can reach the upside and start looking toward the top of the consolidation rectangle.

Underneath, if the market were to break down below the $22.50 level, then the $22 level is going to be an area that gets targeted next. After that, the market then breaks down to the $20 area, which is a large, round, psychologically significant figure, and therefore one would have to think that there will be a lot of interest in silver down there, making it a nice target for those who choose the short this market on the breakdown.

Interest rates have been rising in America, that of course has a negative effect on anything that is not the US dollar longer-term, and of course you have to worry about the fact that the silver market is highly influenced by the industrial part of the equation, as silver is a bit of an industrial metal as it is a precious one. If we are going to continue to see concerns about the global economy, that could cause a little bit of downward pressure on silver. All things being equal, this is a market that remains in consolidation, and therefore you have to look at this through the prism of a longer-term attitude, but keep in mind that your position sizing needs to remain cautious.
