Silver takes off
Is silver about to shine?
Silver on the 1 hour chart
Silver has seen a huge 5% pump in price in the past week. At one point it was up 4% in a single day. This has a lot of silver and gold bugs excited for a breakout, but I'm recommending you hold off from a momentum buy. Here's why:
Gold leads, silver follows:
History shows that silver is always reacting to gold almost as if it is a leveraged derivative of gold. When gold rises silver shoots high, when gold falls silver crashes.
Let's take a look at what's happening with gold on the weekly chart.
Gold is testing resistance that was established back in 2016 at about $1365. Gold just hasn't been able to break through (yet). This line of resistance and golds trend line upward is creating an ascending triangle pattern, which is proven to be bullish.
Silver's success is all dependent on Gold breaking up and out of this ascending triangle pattern and breaking through the $1365 level.
Silver's technical developments:
If you take a look at the chart below, silver is forming a descending wedge pattern. This technical pattern is known to be very bullish and very explosive.
I am expecting gold to continue to struggle with the $1365 levels, and maybe even revert to lower prices. Silver will most likely take a downward bounce from its resistance levels and continue with its struggle.
How do I take action?
You can take action by waiting this out and seeing what gold does at $1365. Does it break through and head higher? Or does it revert to lower prices This will lead silver in either direction. You can watch the price action with tradingview. I use this tool more than anything when trading and investing, and it's completely free.
With the gold-to-silver ratio at 80, I am only buying silver. But I'm not buying at these levels. I will wait until silver hits $16.50 to make another purchase.
