The silver market continues to look like a “buy on the dips” situation, as the market fell a bit in the early hours of Wednesday, only to rally again. However, we have the FOMC meeting later in the day, and therefore silver will be lively.
The silver market has pulled back just a bit during the trading session on Wednesday as we continue to see a lot of noise just above the $33.33 level. The $33.33 level has been important multiple times in the past and as a result, it’s not a huge surprise to see a little bit of market memory here. That being said, I think you’ve got a situation where silver continues to move quite wildly, but you also have to keep in mind that there’s an FOMC meeting later in the trading session, and that will have a major influence on what happens with the US dollar, and then by extension, what happens with the silver market.
It’s obviously in a very bullish trend and if the Fed sounds remotely dovish during the session today, it’s very likely that silver will continue to find buyers. Regardless, I do think that this remains a buy on the dip market, unless the Federal Reserve raises rates for some reason, and therefore, I look at the $33.33 level as a potential support level to buy at, and then again at the $32.35 level.
Ultimately, this is a market that I have no interest in shorting and at this point, I think $35 above is going to be the potential target. Breaking above that, then it opens up the door all the way to $50. We’ve seen $35 be broken a couple of times in the past and generally, what happens at that point is silver goes on a tear to the outside. All things being equal though, I remain bullish.
