Silver markets continue to chop around overall, as we hang around the 50 day EMA. The market is currently showing signs of support at the 50 day EMA, and it’s likely that the market will continue to respect that. The $15 level above is massive resistance, just as the $14 level underneath is massive support. At this point, we are probably consolidating.

Silver markets have been choppy and sideways overall, with the $14 level underneath being supportive, and the $15 level above being resistance. At this point, I think it’s very likely that the Silver markets will continue to be very choppy and volatile, but I think if we can break out of this range, it could give us a reasonable target. The one dollar range that we are in signifies where we could go, on a breakout or a break down. The $16 level above will be a target if we break out to the upside, just as a break down below the $14 level will send this market to the $13 level, possibly looking for support at $12.

Overall, I think that the market participants will continue to be attracted to this as a barometer for where the US dollar is going, or perhaps where it isn’t. Remember, a strengthening US dollar typically works against the value of silver, while a softening US dollar typically will help it rally. I believe at this point, we are going to see more choppiness and sideways action than anything else, so I’m not looking for anything major and I recognize that we will probably continue to be very noisy overall. However, I think that longer-term investors may be looking at this as an opportunity to pick up a bit of value.
