Silver is on a major SELL signal at the end of June. SLV is on short-term buy signal. Data according to COT is favorable for overall higher prices. Broke resistance this week. Next major resistance at $33.

When dinosaurs went extinct, mammals gained opportunity to flourish. Crises for some bring opportunity for others who can adapt to benefit from new environments. I try to enable my readers to position themselves to be the ones who will come out better at the end of...

The credit cycle drives the business, or trade cycle. It should be obvious that changes in the quantity of money, mostly in the form of bank credit, has an effect on business conditions. Indeed, that is why central banks implement a monetary policy. 

Fake it till you make it – not quite that easy in trading with constant losses. You do need to start with hope though. Looking at our last round of entries into the Silver since mid-March of this year, this nemesis played out well again.

The S&P 500 closed farther from the early June highs than the day before. The bull is telling us it wants to run, now that it's becoming apparent that the bears are out of breath since their mid-July tech ambush.

The purpose of this update is to celebrate and mark silver’s powerful breakout from a giant base pattern that started to form as far back as 2013 – 2014, a breakout which has only happened during the past 2 days, yesterday and today, with today’s advance finally...

Yesterday, the price of silver spiked about 10%. We wrote that it was driven by:  “…buying of physical metal.” And we added: “This is a pretty good signal that a bull market may be returning to silver. Let’s watch the basis and price action closely and see how it...

The long-awaiting day has finally arrived.  After five long years, silver has finally reached its previous high of $21 set back in 2016.  So, now that the silver price has reached and broken through the $21 level, what’s next for investors?

The S&P 500 upswing extended gains, yet retreated before yesterday's closing bell. To a certain degree, the accompanying bullish signals lost their luster too. The air is getting thinner as stock prices cut into the late-Feb bearish gap. Has this been the...

The price of silver has just spiked up about $2.00—that’s about 10%. All the usual suspects have been calling for silver to skyrocket. With some amusement, we have been watching ads from a guy known for savvy junior mining stock investments, who has been calling for...

As the month of July moves into its final ten-day stretch, I see NASDAQ records falling left and right as the drivers of fear that dominated in March are now "yesterday's news." Rising second waves of infection and death have been shunted aside in favor of a reborn...

We’ve been micro-managing silver lately in NFTRH and NFTRH+ updates and that is for a reason. The reason is that gold’s wild little bro has been rallying – in what is turning out to be 5 clear waves – since the March crash.

The announced S&P 500 upswing is underway, and the early June highs have been overcome on a closing basis. Will the regular trading's final hour sprint carry over into today's session? Are the bulls as strong as the one-sided result of Monday's trading suggests...

Today, if silver had the same kind of performance as the Dow since around the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, then it would have topped out at $225.20 [(29568.6/78.78)*.6). Yet, it only topped out around $50 in 1980 and 2011.

The monthly U.S. budget deficit for June 2020 was a heart-stopping record $864 billion. For reference, last year's deficit for all of fiscal 2019 was just under $1 trillion. In other words, the June deficit was almost as much as the entire amount of red ink spilled...

It’s time to show you’re Fed up! Get mad as hell! Don’t take this any more! Scorch the earth with your rage! Yell from the rooftops! Stick your head out the window and scream! Fight the economic injustice that serves the rich! Kick political asses, and kick them...

Three doji days in a row, and yet the S&P 500 action is telling. After breaking above the mid-June highs, Friday's close is within spitting distance of the June 8 top. And stocks are primed to overcome it.

Although we have seen an impressive uptrend in gold from late 2018 to the present, silver has yet to break out of its giant base pattern that started to form back in 2014 and thus has underperformed gold significantly during this period. However, this is not...

Gold and silver markets advanced early this week, with silver leading the way. On Thursday, the metals sold off a bit as the U.S. dollar gained. The major trend for the dollar, however, is down. The Dollar Index has been grinding lower since mid March, when it put...

Silver investment demand is exploding in recent months, skyrocketing higher in wildly-unprecedented fashion!  That has catapulted silver sharply higher since mid-March’s COVID-19-lockdown stock panic.  Accelerating even in this usually-weak summer season, the...

Wednesday and yesterday are two uneventful doji days. Wrong! The quiet breakout above the mid-June highs just got confirmed, meaning that the S&P 500 is primed to go higher eventually, I think. And in today's analysis, I'll lay out the case why it's only our...

After Tuesday's bullish reversal, S&P 500 intraday consolidation came. How to read the doji just in? In today's analysis, I'll lay out the case for why I consider it to be healthy base-building – a springboard for stocks to take on the early June highs.

These are the main two forces that are driving humans. Diego Maradona, one of the most successful footballers of all time, was motivated for his success by desperately wanting to leave the Argentinian slums that he and his family were living in (pain avoiding).

Silver closed today right on an important KEY LEVEL.  For the silver price to continue higher, it needs to break above this level.  The last time silver reached this same price was back in early September 2019.  And, if silver continues in a positive direction in...

What does it take to break the global financial system? Well, we obviously know what it takes since the system is already broken. Broken by debts, broken by deficits, broken by a fractured financial system, and broken by false markets as well as fake money. 

After the sharp downside reversal late Monday, stocks refused downswing continuation yesterday. Slowly initially, then ever more forcefully into the closing bell. That seems to be a perfect definition of a reversal, right?

Surreptitious intervention in the gold market by the U.S. government is the target of legislation introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Rep. Alex X. Mooney (R-WV).

July 14, 2020

We got that extension of Friday's rally on Monday, as I called for. Vaccine hype news. Good for bulls with tight exit orders – I managed to take a 55-points profit off the table. But big tech (think Microsoft, Amazon) suffered with talk of its bubble rising, U.S. –...

Previously, I have shown how there were virtually no significant Silver rallies over the last 50 years during a period when the US Dollar index has been rising.

We can all be very confident that there will be no change to monetary policy for a very, very long time. But there is a fiscal cliff coming—and indeed has already begun.

I doubted that Thursday's downswing was a shot across the bow courtesy of the bears, and instead laid out the case for why the stock upswing is likely to renew itself when I looked at the big picture. And so far, the stock bull run remains intact, regardless of all...

Silver is on a major SELL signal at the end of June. Data is favorable for overall higher prices. Resistance at the $19 area.

The silver market appears ready to blow its top, much like a pressure cooker whose relief valve stopped functioning even as the heat and pressure continued to build. The gold market is also likely to overheat, but at least in gold, its relief valve - the price of...

The coronavirus pandemic inflicted a “swift and massive shock” that has caused the broadest collapse of the global economy since 1870 despite unprecedented government support, the World Bank said.…

Our benchmark SP500 is on a long term sell signal, a major correction is in progress. The current investing model remains in favor of bonds, therefore, investors should continue to overweigh with long bonds or bond ETFs for safety over growth.

July 10, 2020

Wednesday's efforts to break above the mid-June highs got thoroughly tested yesterday, and the stock bulls barely managed to stage a comeback. Is that a warning shot fired by the bears, or a show of strength by the bulls? I think I have an answer for that – and it...
