Silver Editorials & Commentary

Our open position in the Australian dollar has been closed, and at a sizable profit. But the countdown to tomorrow’s Fed is on, and it pays not to rest on laurels. The setups in the other currency pairs won’t wait, so let’s get down to reading the stories they tell...

After waiting for seven years since the silver price traded above $30, precious metals investors are wondering if 2019 will be the year that shiny metal finally enters into a new bull market. However, for silver to enter into a new bull market, certain signs and...

Our Adaptive Dynamic Learning (ADL) predictive modeling system is predicting that Crude Oil will break recent support levels near $55 and move very quickly down to levels near $50 to $51 before August 2nd, 2019.  The move to near the $50 price level is likely to be...

Friday’s session didn’t bring much of easily noticeable action in the precious metals. While the day-to-day picture remains calm, the mining stocks’ move has brought us direct short-term implications. We’ll examine the lessons both the gold-to-silver ratio and...

In the first part of this multi-part technology sector research post, we highlighted our previous research and predictive modeling result that suggest the US and global stock markets are poised for a peak/roll-over within the next 30+ days.  Our predictive modeling...

Large precious metals speculators sharply raised their bullish net positions in the Silver futures markets this week, according to the latest Commitment of Traders (COT) data released by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) on Friday.

Long-term – on sell signal, but may change if prices can stay firm until month end. Short-term – on buy signal. Cycle is up. COT data is at levels of previous tops. We are holding long-term position. 

The long-term signal on the broad market is now neutral. Current investing model favors bonds, therefore, investors should be overweighed with long bonds or bond ETFs for safety.

Silver has blasted higher in the last couple weeks, far outperforming gold. This is certainly noteworthy, as silver has stunk up the precious-metals joint for years. This deeply-out-of-favor metal may be embarking on a sea-change sentiment shift, finally returning...

I read a lot on the alternative – Gold Bug – web sites that we need to get back on the Gold Standard. While I certainly don’t disagree, I would suggest that we already have Gold and Silver as official, legal tender in the US. It is only the need to implement a way...

Before we discuss these incredible trade setups in the Energy sector, we have to discuss the continued shifting global economy and how that relates to these setups.  Nearly three weeks ago, we posted a research article suggesting Crude Oil would call to levels near...

It’s not true that Wednesday's session in precious metals was uneventful. While gold and mining stocks didn’t do much, silver moved a bit above its previous high, closing at a fresh 2019 high. Sounds pretty remarkable, doesn’t it? In today’s analysis, we’ll put...

Our advanced Fibonacci price modeling system is suggesting that the current Silver rally may be nearing a point where the price will pause and retrace a bit before advancing further. The incredible breakout rally over the past few weeks in Silver was a real surprise...

If there is a recession in the next one to two years, there is also likely to be another bear market for stocks. Based on their experience over their lifetimes, many investors are expecting a "normal" bear market in that event, perhaps in the 20% to 25% range in...

Just as we had two great world wars, we might have two great depressions, the last of which we started out calling “The Great Recession” because, at the time, we didn’t know where it would end up or how long it would continue. Remember that World War I did not start...

It is time to explore the details of our Gold vs. Silver ratio research and to start to understand the potential for profits within this move in precious metals. The What Could The Next Gold And Silver Rally Look Like? (Part I) and why we believe the “reversion...

Nearly a decade ago, the globe experienced the biggest banking system failures we had seen in nearly a century.  The exposure to risk that was inherent throughout the global banking system was so completely ignored that when the crisis unfolded, hardly anyone...

Silver prices settles at their highest since June 2018; 7 days of gains in 8 trading sessions. Silver has surged over 9% so far in July; from $15.10/oz to $16.50/oz.

Like a freight train getting in motion, the euro also looks to be starting its move. This is not without consequences, as we’re keeping a close eye on the breach of several key chart features – that would make us pounce on the opportunity like a tiger. What else do...

Almost a decade ago, the global financial crisis of 2008-09 exposed billions of people to the risks within the global financial/banking sector.  With all this money flowing around the globe and with banks able to facilitate greater and more diverse risk/derivatives...

Stocks retraced their Thursday’s advance on Friday, as investors continued to hesitate following the recent record-breaking rally. The S&P 500 index got back below the 3,000 mark again, following bouncing off the resistance level. Is this a topping pattern or...

The best performing metal this week was silver, up 6.40 percent on perhaps a paradigm shift as the investors poured $133 million into silver bullion ETFs on Wednesday, the single biggest inflow in six and a half years.

Traders dumped stocks in the final hour on Friday, hinting that there actually is a threshold at which bad news begins to matter. For one, Black Rock, arguably the smartest money on the planet, reported a 7% drop in profits. If they can’t cut it, is there any hope...

It is time to explore the details of our Gold vs. Silver ratio research and to start to understand the potential for profits within this move in precious metals.  The first part of our research article highlighted the Gold vs. Silver ratio and why we believe the “...

While we were prepared for last week’s run in silver in our service on ElliottWaveTrader.net, many are only now suggesting to buy into the metals after missing the last 10%+ move up in silver. Yes, that is what happens so often in financial markets. Markets go...

Some weeks back we had correctly surmised that gold’s gathering strength would rub off on silver and cause it to start catching up, so we bought a range of silver ETFs and stocks, a move which has paid off well as they have spiked quite dramatically in the recent...

Gold just made a new high for the year at 1454. That "ought be" the story, right? Not really. In fact, nothing really has changed for Gold from a week ago wherein we categorized its performance for what now has been four weeks as "blah" despite all the "rah-rah".

The Fed’s missteps and flip-flops this week tripped up multiple markets. After accidentally announcing their ammo is down to one last bullet against recession, can they be trusted to handle powerful weapons?

Silver is on a major sell signal. SLV is on short-term buy signal. COT data is favorable for overall higher prices. Long-term – on sell signal, but may change if prices can stay firm until month end. Short-term – on buy signal.

The long term signal on the broad market is now neutral. Current investing model favors bonds, therefore, investors should be overweighed with long bonds or bond ETFs for safety.

Oil has indeed plunged yesterday, yet caught a bid earlier today on the news of the downed Iranian drone. While that’s encouraging to the bulls, they didn’t celebrate the following upswing for too long. Time to consult the charts instead of scanning the headlines...

Silver is on a tear. Up 1.4% yesterday with plenty more in the tank. We had been expecting silver to awaken in a strong move higher, almost as if it was caught napping, while the world watched gold push through previous boundaries with conviction.

Well, as I think about it, I am starting to understand the shock if you had been reading what everyone has been writing about silver. Whereas the rest of the complex has already moved strongly higher, silver has been significantly lagging. And, I have been hearing...

After gold broke above a critical resistance level, held for the past five years, precious metals’ investors are now wondering, “what’s in store for silver?”  While gold surged from $1,340 to $1,440 in just one week last month, silver only went up a mere $0.70. ...

While many are talking about major new bull markets in gold, silver and the miners I find it safer to set realistic goals within a still very bullish outlook. After all, we became bullish in November, had to retrench due to over-bullish sentiment and fading...

Stocks retraced some of their recent advance on Wednesday, as investors took short-term profits off the table. The S&P 500 index fell below the 3,000 level and closed 1.1% below the Monday’s new record high of 3,017.80. So is this a downward reversal or just a...

The Federal Reserve knows we are in a failing economy, or it would not be holding town meetings all over the US to prepare the public for actions more extreme than we are used to seeing. Hear what the Fed is seeing fall around us and why it is rapidly switching back...

Gold outperformed silver by a wide margin during the first half of 2019. While gold was up 8%, silver actually fell nearly 2%. This pushed the gold/silver ratio to a 26-year high near 94, which is more than 50% higher than the average ratio over the past few decades...

Oil has decidedly moved yesterday, and the closing price didn’t make the bulls happy. They haven’t had much success repairing the damage earlier today, though. Does it mean that the bears can set their sights even lower now? Can geopolitical events, or any other...

If we had to pick one day, or one situation when a single market provided most indications during a single day, it would be yesterday’s performance of silver.
