Silver has initially tried to rally during the trading session on Tuesday but gave back gains to show signs of hesitation again. The $24 level above seems to be offering a bit of resistance, and now it looks as if we are going to continue to threaten the very lowest of the consolidation area, perhaps even going down to the $23 level. After all, that’s where we bounce from during the previous session, and of course we have the 50-Day EMA sitting right there as well.
If we turn around and break down below the 50-Day EMA, it opens up the possibility of a move down to the $22 level. The $22 level also is an area that’s important, as we had a major gap there, and then also have had the 200-Day EMA approach that level as well, and that obviously will attract a lot of attention. This could be the “floor the market” right now, because if we were to break down below there, then it’s possible that we could go to the $21 level, maybe even the $20 level after that.
The US dollar is making a little bit of a comeback, so that does work against the value of silver, but at the end of the day there’s also the wealth preservation aspect of precious metals, and I think that will continue to be a major influence as well. On the upside, the $25 level looks very daunting to get above, so will have to keep an eye on that. With that being the case, I do prefer buying on dips, but I also recognize that there is a lot of noise that we will have to deal with.
