Silver markets rallied significantly during the trading session on Tuesday, breaking above to a fresh, new high. As I record this, we are reaching towards the psychologically and structurally important $15 level.
Silver markets have continued to find buyers on dips, and we have seen an explosive move to the upside during the day on Tuesday. This coincided nicely with the EUR/USD pair showing signs of life at the 1.15 level again, so I think there could have been a little bit of US dollar weakness helping the silver market, but quite frankly I think a lot of this comes down to the fact that silver is historically cheap at these levels. I recognize that the $14 level underneath is massive in its importance, and it’s very unlikely to be broken through anytime soon. This is especially true after the last couple of trading sessions, and I think now the market will set its sights on $15 above.
If we can break above the $15 level, that is a very bullish sign, and I think that the market would then enter more of a “buy-and-hold” scenario at that point. However, I think what we are probably going to see is a short-term pullback in the meantime, as we are trying to build up the necessary momentum to slice through what has been a very negative market for quite some time. I look at buying dips as an opportunity, and don’t have any interest in shorting currently. I have been buying physical silver as you know and continue to do so for the longer-term. I believe that eventually we will see Silver markets reached towards the all-time highs, of course this is more of an investment than a trade. In the short term, I simply look at these dips as an opportunity to get long yet again.
