Silver Set To Follow Gold’s Bullish Run Higher

2/10/2020

2 Comments

 
While Gold has been getting all the attention, as the price of Gold makes multi years highs in 2020, Silver has been stuck in a 4+ month consolidation move, after seeing a massive spike back in Sept 19 when it hit $19.50, from the lows in May of around $14.50.
 
Since then we have had a false breakout to the downside in late Nov (see chart below), which was followed by a swift move to $18.60 resistance. However, it began to drift lower as it formed a tight range with an ascending triangle. This slow drift lower occurred despite Gold showing relative strength over the last few weeks.

Picture

With the consolidation building within the triangle, decision time is approaching very soon for Silver, perhaps as soon as the coming week on which way will it break out first. Given the overall longer-term trend, indicated by successive higher lows, together with the longer term 52 day moving average (MA) moving higher (green line), the odds are that Silver is set to break out to the upside of its triangle wedge, first to $18.60 resistance, followed by a higher move towards $19.55 resistance.
 
More importantly based on the last strong move we saw on the daily chart in September 19(see rectangle bar on chart), together with the amount of consolidation since that move, its possible Silver could hit a price target of around $20.60 level in the first half of 2020 at the earliest. This is based on its last explosive move away from the longer term 52 day moving average achieved in 2019 from the current levels of the 52 day MA.

On a more cautious note though, If instead we do in fact see a breach of the triangle towards the downside in the next few weeks, I believe the move will be short lived similar to the false breakout in Nov 19. The reasoning for this is that the global macro environment is very bullish overall for the precious metals with Central Banks easing, printing more QE & plenty of global uncertainty present in the markets.
 
Since there are many bullish factors in play for precious metals, the weekly chart for Silver offers more bullish upside potential over the coming months and into 2021.
Back in July 19, you can see the breakout higher out of its multiyear downtrend. Since then it has formed a number of higher lows, whilst also hitting the $18.50 resistance twice and failing to close above it on the weekly chart more recently.

Picture

If the daily charts are correct, and we see a move higher breaking out of the wedge and above $18.50/60 resistance initially, then there is no material resistance level until we reach $20.25 area.

Furthermore, depending on how much consolidation will be required after reaching $20.25 area of resistance, its certainly possible we can see a move towards the $21.80 resistance in the 2nd half of 2020 or sooner. Especially since Silver has under performed Gold’s move in 2019 and so far in 2020.

I'm notoriously bearish on silver. It's my defining characteristic after my square jaw, flinty gaze and noble brow. If people want to go long uncorrelated assets like PM's they'll just buy gold. In earlier times, not everyone had the money to trade gold but now that's pretty much changed. Gold doesn't need an analogue anymore and Ag is losing the love. There's less Ag bullion in the world than Au due to its industrial usage (and previously, its usage in film) but I only see the gold/silver ration getting worse and worse over time. It's going the way of pewter IMO.

The trouble is that we haven’t had a comfortable, multi functional platform for dealing with crypto. Buyers need to use some special services right now.
