The silver market has been noisy again in the early hours of Tuesday, as we continue to bounce around the same area we have been in for some time. This is a market that continues to see a lot of noise, but a very well-defined region of trade.
The silver market initially spiked during the trading session on Tuesday, but keep in mind that this is a market that has been very range bound for a while. So, it does make a certain amount of sense that we continue to see a bit of noisy behavior. The $33 level is an area that’s been a bit of a magnet for price. And we do need to keep in mind also that there is a lot of order flow in this area.
The 50 day EMA sits just below and is offering a bit of a short-term support level. But when you look at the longer term attitude of the market, as far as the way it’s been behaving as of late, I still think you are basically hanging around between $32 on the bottom and $34 on the top. So, range bound traders will continue to see this as an excellent opportunity to go back and forth and take advantage of short-term range-bound market trading systems.
If we break out of this $2 range, then you have to assume that we will simply follow the breakout and the measured move is $2. Whether or not we actually get those $2, as far as the size of the move is concerned, is a completely different story. But I do think that if we were to break to the upside, the $35.35 level makes sense as a target. And if we break to the downside, we have the 200-day EMA at $31.33 offering support, as well as the $31 level. Ultimately, this is a market that I think continues to just chop back and forth.
