Silver markets continue to show signs of strength on Tuesday, reaching towards the $14.90 level before running into resistance. Silver markets will continue to trade based upon the US dollar, so make sure you are paying attention to how it is doing.

Silver daily chart, October 17, 2018

Silver markets initially tried to rally during the trading session on Tuesday but ran into a lot of resistance at the $14.90 level. We ended up forming a couple of shooting stars on the hourly chart, so I think a pullback is very likely. That’s not to say that I think we should be selling a here, I think your best trade is probably to simply wait on the sidelines and look for value underneath it we can take advantage of. Some type of supportive bounce could make a nice trade, because it makes sense that we would struggle at these high levels.

After all, we have rallied quite nicely, and are approaching a major round number in the form of the $15. If we were to break above the $15 level, then the market could continue to go much higher. I see support underneath at $14.70, $14.60, and most certainly $14.50. Silver markets tend to move every $0.10, in a back-and-forth manner as it is a highly technical situation and of market. At this point, I suspect that silver needs to cool off a bit before we can build up enough momentum to finally break that crucial $15 level. Once we do, I think the next target will be somewhere near the $15.20 level based upon longer-term historical charts. If we were to break down below the $14.50 level, that could send this market much lower. Overall though, I think that silver is also getting a boost from the safety trade as there are so many different problems around the world.
