The Silver markets fell during the trading session initially on Wednesday as we awaited the Federal Reserve interest rate announcement and of course more importantly the statement. At this point, the question is whether or not the Federal Reserve is dovish enough to get people excited.

Silver markets will be reacting to the Federal Reserve interest rate announcement, which of course should be a 25 basis point rate cut. The statement of course is going to be crucial, so if we can get a dovish enough signal from the Federal Reserve, then the silver market could rally. I believe that the $16.00 level underneath is massive support, so I would be a bit surprised to break down below there. If we did, then I think the 50 day EMA, which is pictured in red on the chart, could offer significant support.

Looking at this chart, I believe that selling is almost impossible, at this point you need to pay attention to the idea of looking at value on pullbacks. To the upside, I believe that the $17.00 level above should be some type of target that the market will probably reach towards. We are treading water ahead of the interest rate decision, but I do think that if we pull back, it’s a nice buying opportunity, just as a breakout above the recent consolidation over the last several days could be a nice buying opportunity.

I believe that the $17.00 level above should be a massive resistance barrier, and it will be difficult to get above there. If we do, that would be an extraordinarily bullish sign and more of a “buy-and-hold” scenario just waiting to happen. I think at this point it’s likely that value hunters continue to come back in.
