Silver markets rallied a bit during the trading session on Wednesday to reach towards the $15.60 level before pulling back slightly. However, the question now is whether or not we can break above that supply level? So far, we have not but I also recognize that there is building pressure to the upside. Ultimately, the solution to the question is probably found in the US Dollar Index.

It will be interesting to see what Silver does over the next couple of days, because we are testing a significant resistance barrier in the form of the $15.60 level. If we can break above that level, then the market is probably free to go looking towards the $15.80 level after that. I think that the market is still very tough to hang onto for the upside, but short-term traders should be used to this. Overall, the market is at the top of the “support zone” that I have been watching on the weekly and monthly chart, as it has been so well supported. Quite frankly, if we were to break down below the $15 level it would be very difficult to push this market much lower.

I believe that the market is trying to build up a “base” in the market so that someday when we take off to the upside most of the physical silver traders will be lined up just above $15 to profit quite nicely. It’s hard to imagine a scenario in which Silver breaks down below there, but you never know. I think short-term dips at this point are probably buying opportunities for longer-term traders, while short-term traders will continue to be more of the back and forth variety with a bit of a downward bias. At this point, it comes down to your timeframe.
