Silver markets went sideways initially during the day on Thursday, but then broke down below the $16.50 level. By doing so, we reach down towards the $16.40 level underneath. Keep in mind that the US dollar rallied during the day, so that of course put bearish pressure on precious metals in general, and of course silver won’t be any different.

Silver markets initially went sideways on Thursday, hanging above the $16.50 level before breaking down. This had a lot to do with the US dollar strengthening more than anything else, and I think that the market probably goes down to much lower levels, perhaps the $16 level. I think that the market will eventually rally though, and if we can break above the $16.75 level, it’s likely that we go to the $17.25 level above. Ultimately, the volatility should continue but I do like the idea of owning silver in general, so I have been buying physical silver. If you are short-term trader, you can use the futures markets as well, as there are obvious resistance barrier’s above, and if we can break above that level it’s likely the at short-term pops that you can take advantage of.

Remember that Silver is highly volatile, so start out slow and take advantage of these moves. As far as the longer-term trade is concerned, I still prefer buying physical silver as waiting out the markets might be necessary if you wish to profit. I think that it’s difficult to be highly levered and wait for the market to finally break out to the upside like I think it will. The $16 level underneath should serve as a bit of a floor in the short term, and the closer we get to that level, the more likely I am to start buying.
