Silver markets were volatile during the trading session on Wednesday, as currency markets were all over the place. With silver being so highly sensitive to the US dollar, it’s no surprise that the futures pits were active.
Silver markets continue to grind higher during the day on Wednesday, reaching towards the $14.30 level, the beginning of significant resistance. That resistance can be seen as reaching towards the $14.35 level, so I think there is a high likelihood that the sellers could return. However, be very cautious in this market as a futures contract is very expensive. If you are going to trade Silver, I would do from the CFD markets, or perhaps options or even physical. It really comes down to what you feel Silver scented two of the longer-term. I believe that longer-term, silver will go much higher, but I’m not comfortable taking on a lot of leverage in that position so I have been buying physical silver.
The marketplace continues to be very noisy, but I think that you have to believe that the resistance will continue to come into play. However, if the EUR/USD pair can rally and continue to go higher, silver could turn around and take off to the upside. Remember, the US dollar has a major part to play in the way the Silver markets behave. Right now, there are a lot of concerns around the world, so that of course has people dumping precious metals over the longer-term. We are at historically cheap levels, and I think that will be one of the reason you should be paying attention to buying physical silver as it’s a great longer-term investment. As for short-term trading is concerned I think that there is high potential for sellers to enter just above the $14.30 level. However, if we do break out to the upside the ascending triangle measures for a move to $14.50 above, an area that has been important previously.
