Silver has had a rough week, but it does look like we are starting to see a little bit of support near the 50-Week EMA indicator.
Silver has fallen rather hard during the trading week to reach down toward the 50-Day EMA, only to see buyers come back into the picture and start to lift silver again. Ultimately, the market bouncing from here is a good sign and it’s probably worth noting that the market has found a little bit of stabilization right around the 50% Fibonacci level, so therefore it’s likely that we will attract a certain amount of technical trading.
If we break down below the weekly candlestick, it would clear the 50-Week EMA, perhaps opening up a move down to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. That of course is an area where a lot of traders will be paying close attention to what’s going on, and therefore could be looking to pick up a little bit of value. Whether or not that holds remains to be seen, but it’s certainly worth noting that silver has been explosively bullish until the last couple of weeks.
A close attention to the US dollar, because it has a well-known negative correlation with the silver market, so if it starts to strengthen that could cause some issues for silver. On the other hand, if we could take out the $24 level to the upside, it’s likely that the silver market goes looking to the $25 level. With all of that, the market is more likely than not going to end up being one that attracts a certain amount of attention to the upside, but again, if we break down below the bottom of the weekly candlestick, that could lead to something a little uglier going forward.
