Silver continues to be very noisy, which is not much of a surprise considering everything that is going on. Keep in mind that even though people to it as a precious metal, it’s actually an industrial one.
Silver markets have been noisy during the trading session on Wednesday, as we continue to hang around the $18 level. The $18 level of course is an area that has been important several times and is a large, round, psychologically significant figure. Because of this, I look at this through the prism of an opportunity. And every time we rally, I think we will more likely than not see sellers come into the picture and try to push silver back down to the $18 level.
It’s worth noting that $18 has been important on long-term charts, and if we can get a clean break below there, then it’s possible that the market will find a reason to break down significantly, perhaps reaching all the way down to the $15 level. After that, I would start to look toward the $12 level, which is a longer-term support level.
On the other hand, if we were to break cleanly above the 50-Day EMA, then you can start to think about a move to the $20 level. Breaking above the $20 level would be a very bullish sign, and could send traders back into this market. We would need to see the US dollar take a bit of a breather though, something that I just don’t see happening right now. With that being the case, more likely than not going to be a situation where I’m looking to fade rallies as they occur. The market will continue to be very noisy and therefore you need to be cautious with your position sizing.
