Good morning. I am updating my trading journal with the analysis of silver.Silver still has some way to go before bottoming. It has not rallied despite a lower US Dollar Index (gold and miners did not rally either) and a higher stock market. Silver has bright days ahead, but not until it passes this most recent downward shift in trend. And please remember, gold’s more volatile little brother is more prone to sudden price swings, as traders like to pick up some cheap silver after a pullback. What does this imply? Not much, actually. It means that the white metal is continuing to trade sideways after breaking below the rising, medium-term support line in mid-September.
Silver shrugged off the rally in the general stock market and the decline in the USD Index – it could have rallied on any of the above, and instead it just kept consolidating.
Consequently, silver seems to be preparing for a bigger mover lower.Silver is more or less at the level just before it broke, gold is below it, and mining stocks are also below it – the most out of the entire . So, it is not only the case that silver was strong and miners were weak in the last several days – it’s been the case over the past few months as well. The implications are bearish.
