Silver Price Forecast – Silver markets continue to grind higher

Silver daily chart, January 04, 2019

Silver markets continue to grind overall, perhaps in some type of “risk off” attitude. Beyond that, the United States dollar is starting to lose a little bit of strength as PMI numbers came out much weaker than anticipated. However, Friday features the Nonfarm Payroll figures, and that of course can have a major influence on the greenback, which by extension can have a major influence on silver.

Silver markets continue to show signs of strength during the trading session on Thursday, reaching towards the $15.70 level. The market looks very likely to continue to be choppy, and I would say that we are a little bit overbought at this point. I would not be surprised at all to see some type of pullback, but the $15 level underneath should be massive support. Ultimately, that could be a nice buying opportunity. If we were to break down below the $15 level that would obviously change quite a bit.

On a break down below the $15 level, then we would be testing significant support this below there as well. I do think that silver has legs at this point, but we may have simply just got a bit ahead of ourselves and momentum probably will start to struggle a bit at these lofty levels. The explosion above the $15 level has been impressive, and I think there will be plenty of reasons to think that buyers will be waiting underneath that have missed this move, so I am fairly confident about picking up silver at lower levels. I believe that the $16 level above is massive resistance, so it may take a bit of work to finally break above that level. In the short term, I’m simply buying pullbacks as the momentum has clearly shifted.
