Silver pulled back slightly during the early hours on Tuesday as we continue to see a lot of volatility. However, there are quite a few buyers out there willing to get involved, as we have seen during the overnight trading hours.
Silver initially fell during the Tuesday session, but then turned around to show signs of life as we continue to find buyers on each and every dip. We are in an uptrend, so this should not be a big surprise, but the volatility seems to be getting worse. After all, we had seen the market just collapse and break down through the $30 level a few trading sessions ago, but now it looks like we are stabilizing a bit, and that is a good sign. The 50-day EMA sits just below, and that, of course, is an indicator that a lot of people pay close attention to.
So ultimately, I do think this is a scenario where traders are trying to get in and find a bit of value. If we can get a daily close above the $30 level, that could open up the next leg higher and perhaps even a move to the $32 level. If you look at the recent action, it’s very similar to action that we had seen back in April where we pulled back rather significantly and then shot straight up in the air. Remember, a lot of traders out there are trying to guess what the Federal Reserve is doing. And as a result, it’s going to cause havoc in precious metals markets, especially in silver, which tends to be even more sensitive than gold to interest rates.
The silver market is also an industrial market, so you have to pay attention to that as well. And with all of that being said, I do think that silver continues to go higher, but that doesn’t make it an easy market. You need to be very cautious with your position sizing because you can lose a lot of money rather quickly in this market. But if we can break back above the $30 level, that should bring in quite a bit more confidence for those who are bullish.
