Silver exceeds $22.00 and a major correction has yet to occur"
This chart is showing how resilient silver has been during this intermediate term bull market. The five day moving average was again successfully tested today and it continues to trade in a steep upwards trading range. Currently as of 7:30pm EST the silver market is at $21.77 which was the level that was support yesterday and has been resistance today. This could mean that the correction is about to happen, but the buyers or bulls are not giving up so easily. The key levels of support are $21.00 and $20.37 which was mentioned in my recent VLOG
This means that we are still three percent of a down move away from testing this 23.6%. The fibonacci level before 23.6 can be calucated by taking 23.6 and multiplying it by 61.8%. This brings us 14.6% and this level is at $21.36. This has not been tested of as yet because the bottom on todays sell off was $21.60. Therefore if we take 61.8% of 14.6 that gives us 9% and that level is $21.60. Therefore we have retraced 9% of the rally thus far which is pocket change. During this rally we have seen many corrections be that of a couple days of correcting through time or the odd two percent pull back.
The Monthly chart is not over extended. It shows a clear breakout from its previous resistance below $20 and that it has surpassed the 2008 highs. Therefore a move to the $24 or even the $26 and $28 area would not be a shocker when looking at this monthly chart. The move in 2006 gave us many big months where silver was exploding to the upside. When we mix the fundamentals of the dollar being backed by nothing and all this excessive money printing aka quantitative easing with the factor of the price manipulation to the downside that has been done with silver the big move is not a surprise.
September 30 Update - Check back after the markets close at 4pm EST for a bigger in depth report on the blog as the month and quarter ends. Currently we are experiencing some selling, as we are in need of some sort of correction
SEPTEMBER 28 UPDATE - Markets moving higher again
September 27, 2010 Update
The price of Silver went up to $21.65 and has since had a retracement going down a little over one percent. This is no time to panic of a top in this market. When I say top, I mean intermediate one that will not be re tested for several days, weeks or even a few months. The price action we have been seeing over the last five or six weeks remains constant in a bull market trend that is slowly going higher. Because of this I am not going to update much onto the blog. If you are trading the silver then keep your eyes on significant support like the upward trend line and fibonacci etc as well as the strategies I talked about before with option PUTS and 2x short ETF.
September 24, 2010 Update
Silver has made a new thirty year high with its move over $21.35. Every day seems to be the same. That is slow stepping moves higher. There has not been any four or five percent moves in one day and thus we haven't retraced much from any rally. It seems every correction is a sideways correction for a few hours or a one or two percent retracement. Meanwhile, the Dow Jones is up almost 200 points and is exceeding a nice rally. The Dollar is getting creamed and is now at levels from earlier this year. The one index that makes me scratch my head is bonds. Based on the area bonds are at with the TLT stock market ETF up 20% from its low in April. Its very common for these to trade in opposite with each other. This means something has to give which could either be a stock market retracement from the gain in bonds or that of a bond market retracement as stocks flat line. It's hard to say, but the last time I seen something that did not make sense was when the TLT did not rise in the 2008 sell off and it followed with a massive spike in the Bonds market afterwards. There will be an update later on this weekend and for now like crabbydoxtrix says, "Thats all I got"
Silver is up big the last few weeks Protection and Calculated Gambling!
Silver is over extended and a pull back is only to be expected. The timing of when can be very tricky. On this chart you can see that twice an uptrend line has been broken to the upside. The first was on the August 23 week and it exploded from there. The second time was on the week of September 13 and this line has now been support on one occasion. The five day moving average has held up and is rising at a rapid rate, for a rapid length of time. However, if we break the resistance line that has been the upper band for the last month then the gains would be big and most likely the the $24 area at least. Unless you have advanced knowledge or amazing calculations that I do not have or something else. Markets can correct either through time or through price and within' this rally there have been mostly time corrections and small price corrections along the way.
The fibonacci shows a price target at $21.05 which is the area it is battling at this moment. Its not uncommon for 161.8% to have little to no resistance, and when this happens its a high probability odds chance that it will go to level two as its next significant price target. Therefore with everything said their is no reason for many silver traders to sell short or sell their long positions. You are fighting this strong trend if you do. If you bought SLV when it was at $18.00 then ways of making protection plays that can make you even profit on a pullback is to play the OPTION puts on SLV. This way if you see a retracement where silver not only violates $20.00 per oz but even $19.00 per oz then you can profit from the play or at least take away some of the losses. Another way of playing this is by playing the ETF short that is shown below.
This ETF is getting creamed. The ultra ETFS are designed to be long term losers and the pattern that is against the path of the least resistance will get hammered the most. IF silver goes to $23-24 and beyond this baby is going to tank again. Therefore if you are playing with SLV shares or comex or you are a bullion holder then if you lose on the ETF play or you lose on the options PUTS then your shares or bullion will increase in value. However this enables you to sell your ETF or options Puts when they make new lows and then if you make news highs you would profit on the pullback. That doesn't mean you will still gain. It's possible that silver goes to $18.50 an OZ and you cash out your puts. You have a profit on a pull back and a move to $15.00 per oz can make you in the red. This is why they should call this gambling (but do not). They do not call this kind of gambling whether it be silver ETFS, SPY, QQQQ, XLF, TLT or any other kind of mutual fund gambling because that would cause many to not participate. If you are a bullion investor your gamble is that it's intrinsic value can hold and obstacles can come into play with an example being some massive big discovery which would reduce prices. However, if you are holding bullion and the Short or Puts don't work your bullion is worth more and you could probably get well over $30 a coin on ebay if it goes to $24 or $25 while your puts and stocks get wiped. If you profit on the pull back, you can buy more real bullion with profits. This means silver is obviously lower if you win a short ETF play and thus with smart money management it makes it harder to lose. As far as timing the short, if you do this now, it is a major gamble because the trend is higher and a breakout above not only this $21 fiboancci level, but the trend line shown on this page can have bigs gains coming. Plus most of you on this channel are expecting the big gains to happen and many have been expecting it for a while. Therefore would surprise you to see $32 or $40 come in a week or two? Not saying it will happen, but that it would not surprise me (that much).
100 MILLS Gold and Silver Scam Warning
\ Be careful when you are looking into getting these coins or bars. They are only plated with the gold and silver and thus you are getting around 1/1000th of the metal. This means with Gold at $1,300 its valued at $1.30 per ounce and at 1/1000 of $22.00 it is 2.2 cents value of silver per ounce. These are micro amounts and thus be careful. They will use fancy words like 100 MILLS to make it sounds like you are getting silver. People are getting scammed and its good to be aware of this before you make any purchases. Whenever you see anything that is too good to be true. Ask yourself why and do your own research, because for the most part it is too good to be true. Sometimes it might be a great opportunity and these do not come that often. The video below is a classic endlessmountain production on the 100 mills gold coin
The trend for silver remains higher as it is in a clear upwards trading range and the bias is still towards the buyers on all time frames. Usually the fibonacci works out to big areas of previous resistance and if this is the case then rally on the intermediate term time frame is not done. For both the 38.2% and 61.8% to meet up at the top of its resistance area then SLV would need to move to $21.15. This would make new highs because the Silver comex is around 2.2% higher than its value and thus it would work out to around silver at $21.75.

For one month silver has been making higher highs and higher lows while gaining three dollars or almost 20%. The moves have done been that volatile as we have not had any four or five percent days along the way. It is very normal after big up moves for silver to have some serious price corrections and thus far it has not been the case. The federal reserve has their minutes meeting today and that can often cause volatility in most markets including silver.
I was reading this article from the AP which states the Federal Reserve not only wants to heal this economy naturally, but will take steps to boost the economy if need be. Boosting the economy is nothing more than printing additional fiat dollars and thus adding to the money supply. The only way to add to the silver supply is to actually mine and refine silver and thus it is not as easy as printing money. The price movements both up and down are done so through the comex market exchanges and do not reflect the real supply and demand

Technical Issues on my end have been resolved and daily updating will resume on this blog. Check back on Tuesday and beyond for more great charts and information regarding to silver
UPDATE - 12:50PM - 09/16/2010
This rally in silver has seemed like a tortoise rally. This is because the daily moves have been low, but it is price that pays and we have now seen a 20% move from its bottom a month back. There has been only small corrections either through a day or two of time or a percent or two in price. However, we are now approaching the three decade high of $21.35 which was made in March of 2008. Also because the movements and volatility are so small in silver, if Silver can stay above $20 for the rest of the week (which seems pretty favorable) then this will be the first time since 1980 that silver has had a full week of being over $20. In 2008 even though it got to $21.35 from a 50% rally it closed its week below $17.00 thus it lost over 20% that week alone. Silver is used to having these big rises and falls. We are not seeing this now with silver and I have been commenting on this before to watch out for the big moves. For silver to make the $32, $50, $78 levels and beyond it will need some big days where silver is up 10% as well as having corrections of mass proportions to the down side.
UPDATE - 11:50AM - 09/14/2010
Silver is priced at $20.49 and has taken out the psychological $20 level by 2.5%. The next big potential resistance is in the $21 area and change with $21.35 being the highest silver has been in around thirty years. This area does seem to be the next test. The volatility is still very weak and most of the market corrections during this intermediate term bull market has been through time. This means that after a big gain, prices stay flat in a general area rather than going lower.
Update - 2:16pm EST 09/09/2010. Due to unfortunate technical issues I will not be able to update this site as much for a week or two. Therefore I will not be putting any or many charts on the screen during this time and thus be restricted to mainly adding text like I am doing so here. There is not much to update on todays action other than this is the third straight day for Silver over $20 and the move has taken us to as low as $19.80 which is only about 1.5% of a move lower from it's highs which is fairly insignificant thus far during a rally that has well exceeded 10%.
Silver over $20 for the second day in a row
Silver has managed to get over $20 for the second consecutive day as the intermediate bull market continues. The market is over extended, however there is no reason why it can not move higher towards it next price objective of around $21 towards the thirty year high for silver which was established in March of 2008 at $21.35. Some time soon we will be talking about breaking the 1980 high of $50, but for now the trade is much lower than fifty dollars. The inevitable at some point will happen to keep moving silver higher as well as many other assets and commodities because of the value of the fiat currencies getting slammed into oblivion. If you are unsure how to play this market when buying bullion silver coins and bars, and you are sure that rising well above $50.00 is in the cards then is a pull back needed? Many fear that another stock market crash will bring the price of metals much lower, and they may. However, its that it may happen if the stock market does get hammered. There is no guarantee that the stock market will get crushed and there is no guarantee that if it does that silver will follow suit. When you look at timing, the silver may follow suit with a pullback down to the $20 area. I say this because if the market crashes later on after silver has a huge move up to the $30-$40 area, then it could easily lose 30-50% from this area back to $20. What is guaranteed is the fundamentals of the dollar being awful with little to no intrinsic value, while meanwhile silver is guaranteed to be an industrial metal on the periodic table of elements that is used in many different forms.

Silver looks set to take off (This metal is being overlooked in favor of Gold) Silver has a nasty habit of taking people by surprise. Of all the metals, precious or base, it is the one with probably the most potential. On the one hand, it finds more and more industrial uses each year. On the other, it's also a monetary metal, like gold. So investors seek more and more of it because of its value as a hedge against the debasement of money by governments. Yet months, years even, can go by without the metal apparently doing anything it's 'supposed' to. Then, suddenly, just as your back is turned, it will dramatically spike up...(FreeRepublic)

VIDEO(S) on Silver Shortages This is not an article, but many different videos on this site which is concerned on the silver shortage (World News)
Many fibonacci levels are pointing to the high $20 levels into $22 as the next key resistance levels. The previous support and resistance that $20 has encountered has been very light. The chart below shows us that more acknowledgeable levels is $21.00 to the upside and the range of $19.50 to $19.75 going below. The $19.50/75 level recently has been massive which has given this level much more validity than $20.00.
In the 1979/1980 time frame $20 was small term support and resistance only. On the 1979 chart it was a small level of resistance that blew past on the second attempt. Thus this level was not that big. The second chart almost one year later the $20 level was an area of support only tested once that became resistance only tested once. For me to justify a historical level for this to be a relevant number I have to see it play more out as a key level. I would need to see it be a trading range as support/middle/resistance or be levels that is tested more frequently.
However, because many people see this as a psychological number, then this may cause a little bit of selling because its at area where it seems to be up too much on the short run. This can also cause a small buying surge as it is breaking $20. If it does manage to get past the $20, then the $21 area should be that key area where resistance is met and some selling would follow that may bring it back even towards the $19.00 area. I would be a little weary that this move to $20.00 maybe become a bull trap or a failed move on the short term, which could bring that fast move to the $18.75 area which is the next key support level on a decent size sell off. If that does not happen, then $21 will be the next target where probability odds are big for resistance to be met and held for at least a week or two. Just because probability odds say it will happen, does not make it so. For if you are 80% sure one situation may happen and the 80% guess/estimate has validity, then one of five times you will be wrong. Therefore if you play the $21 for a short term short scalp, then make sure you place a stop at an area you are comfortable with for the trade.

Silver in todays Intra day trading managed to rise to $19.93 per troy ounce. The previous high was $19.85 and $20.00 is a hair away for silver. Silver is over extended on the short term time frame and will be due for a consolidation at some point. Only problem is figuring out what that some point will be. Because this is the area of the previous high from May means that the likely hood we encounter resistance is probable does not mean we will. Because the longer term charts I have mentioned is screaming for the breakout, this could very easily happen. If this happens this could cause a little bit of a short squeeze as the shorts whom haven't covered yet may reconsider as well as short term traders whom are shorting because we are at a key resistance area.
GOLD TO SILVER RATIO
With the GLD to SLV ratio chart it is currently around 6.3 to 1 which is at around 63 to 1 on the ratio. The reason for this is because GLD is traded at 1/10 of an ounce of the price of gold, where SLV is around one full ounce. With that being said, many people keep saying that the ratio should be in the 15 to 16 to 1 ratio. This was the historic ratio that silver and gold have been trading with for years. This weeks poll has an overwhelming amount of responses whom agree with this scenario. We all have our opinions on the matter, but at the end it is price that pays and currently the ratio at the 63 area. Webbot, which is an internet prophecy tool says that ratio will fall to parody or par over the next little while. This would be a massive change in our economy. The fundamentals would support this when you observe the real physical tangible uses of each metal as silver is used in several industrial applications with great potential in the solar industry. The last time Silver traded near the historic 16 to 1 historic levels was in 1980. Silver reached a high at $50 and Gold at $800 which was an exact ratio of 16. As we move deeper into this economic collapse, it should be interesting to see if and when this sixteen level gets test again.

The chart is rising and silver is looking to breakout of it's range. The SLV high on May 13 was $19.44. Today the intraday high has managed to get to $19.25. At some point a correction testing support will come into play, and as of now it is unclear when this will be. The trend is clearly higher and some key support levels are shown on this chart if it manages to happen soon. Fibonacci will be a key level as well as some key VWAPS and moving averages. The green moving average on this chart is the five day and it is rising nicely and has yet to have been tested as support since this short term bull market has begun. It has been a 10% gain from the bottom and just because 10% seems like it might be up too much in the short period of time, there really is no such thing as up to much until it actually is up too much. With that being said, this means that it could very easily go up another 10% or any other amount before it has some retracement either through time or through price. If it does go higher, watch to see if the lower fibonacci line will match the previous key resistance at $18.25. To find out the calculation for this for the bottom of $17.06 we can use the following algebra formula
A x 0.382 + 17.06 = $18.25 A x 0.382 = 18.25 - 17.06 0.382a = 1.19 a = 3.12 Therefore the difference would be $3.12 if that area of $18.25 becomes the 38.2% level which means from the bottom of $17.06, this would translate to $20.18 SLV or around $20.75 on the silver comex.

There are a lot of articles today on this page and I could not put them all on. The mainstream media is saying that silver is going up on economic concerns. They can give whatever reason that they want to, and they most likely will need to come across more stories. Silver is breaking out right now and the levels in which Silver can go towards is almost endless when we price it in fiat currency. Some of the other articles talk about the cup and handle formation that is very bullish and I have talked about a long time consolidation that silver has been in. I have also mentioned the 61.8% fibonacci from the 1980 highs and the 2002 lows. On an exponential level this is at $19.00. Because it has had several tests of this level, it seems as if silver is ready and set to break free from this level and soar to new levels.

Gold & Silver Outshines The Markets In August U.S. stocks finished a lackluster session little changed on Tuesday but finished the month with their worst August performance since 2001 as concerns about the economy continued to pile on. The DJIA closed on Tuesday to end at 10,014.72. Stocks still posted steep losses for the month as investors lowered their expectations for economic growth in response to a flood of weak data in August. The Dow shed 4.3% this month, its first down August in five years and the blue-chip measure’s worst August since 2001.
