The silver market rallied significantly during the day on Friday, breaking above the $14.70 level, but then pulling back later in the day. At this point, silver continues to move with the US dollar, so pay attention to it.

Silver daily chart, October 22, 2018

The Silver markets continue to move with the US dollar, rising as the dollar falls. Beyond that, we also get a bit of safety trade involved in Silver lately, as we continue to see a lot of volatility. The markets of course are skittish when it comes to a lot of different things right now, not the least of which would be the Sino-American trade relations. I think at this point, the market should continue to be noisy, so by all means you need to be a bit cautious about trading silver and the best way to do that is to keep your position size somewhat small.

I think at this point, the $14.50 level should offer support, and therefore a pullback to that level should be thought of as value. If we break down below the $14.50 level, then we go down to the $14.30 level next. Looking at this chart, it’s likely that we will continue to see value hunting occasionally, and I am bullish of silver over the longer-term. However, there are a lot of “paper shorts” out there, and that of course is bearish for the market, or at least keeps a bit of a lid on it. However, the $14 level underneath is massive support. In fact, that has been a massively supportive level on longer-term charts, so it’s crucial. If we were to break down below the $14 level, not anything were going to do in the short term, that would be catastrophic. I think at this point we will continue to grind towards the $15 level though.
