Silver is in short term consolidation before breaking $30

Updated
It doesn't matter what short term paper contracts do, or taking profits - the East is importing gold and silver at a beguiling rate that won't allow for much shenanigans for the metals market. I was however surprised to see the price bounce exactly off the top of the box.

I see silver going down to $24 area, shake out some hands, and rocket up past $30 after options expiration date. I see a smaller consolidation week in May before going even higher.

I HIGHLY recommend Silver Miners right now. They saw some life this week and last - and since they usually lag, I can see them being down for the next two weeks before going up themselves. I like SIL, SILJ, and NUGT for indices, and NEM for the best miner in the world for one simple reason - AMERICA will be the LAST country to nationalize their natural resources in a communistic reaction to the skyrocketing dollar. I expect that to happen starting next year.

You can see silver broke a short term trend line for consolidation:

TTM Squeeze building, two trend lines and the 200 is much lower, looking back there's always a return to the mean. Also look at that selling pressure, I still see a wobble before taking off.

Will Korea and Japan's Plaza Accord spur a Chinese devaluation? Yes if they actually do it. It won't work for long as the dollar will come roaring back as everyone defaults from hyperinflation. Ultimately I see 250 for the Yen, the Yuan will be 8-10 by the end of the year. This means that the dollar will lose ground before skyrocketing - which'll boost metals and miners to ATH's. But when the dollar comes back because of some deflationary catalyst and dollar shortage, risk assets will lose value cause no one will have enough dollars.

Alright! Now we'll wait for this to bottom before going long - I will share some multibagger options play when that happens. And as always this is NOT financial advice.

$25 is support, when we hit it, I'll give some options plays that should return 1,000%

NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE!
Note
I think we'll get a hawkish FED, either saying there won't be any rate cuts, and/or possibly a rate hike if inflation gets ahead of itself. This will push metals down before some inflationary event spooks metals higher. Could be a huge attack on Iran and Israel, or the BOJ which I think is gonna sell treasuries to raise dollars to defend their Yen. I personally thought their line in the sand was much higher than where the Yen has fallen. The inverse of then Yen tracks the 10 year so if the Yen goes lower, the 10yr will go higher - which is deflationary for the US, and bad for metals. If the Yen goes up, the 10 year goes down, metals go up due to inflation going up.
I also noticed COMEX silver is getting drained, and only has enough silver for 3 more months (this fluctuates), with China and India importing tonnes. This is the year silver's price-fixing gets broken...

TTM squeeze initiated on the 1hr TF - already bounced off the opposite band (fakeout) and is proceeding down.

Silver will fall outside the bullish falling wedge before take off. The downturn to take it below the wedge could be caused by the next Pandemic h5n1 (see my GILD thread) before lift-off.
Note
Be sure to hedge right here, there's a decent chance we don't make it past $30 for this go around until July...

Dark pools show selling across the board, metals are on summer vacation. Check out my DUST and JDST calls to take advantage of some gains in the meantime (not financial advice)
Note
I think there's much more room to go down from here - I'm seeing dark pool selling in all the major miner indices (NUGT, JNUG, GDX, GDXJ) and dark pool buying in DUST and JDST. Check out my newest threads for the pictures of the charts in the comments...

I like to use RSI 21 to get tops. I see a retracement for Gold until getting nuked into orbit following the FED emergency cutting rates due to some exogenous event.

Silver will follow lower

If the dollar can defeat 105.50, then this is the way charted so far for silver. We could have a way larger bounce upward after this consolidation is over - and I see silver ranging from $50-$120 an ounce. That would be a reckoning for the dollar before the FED commits to its last stand that may take silver from $50 to $200 an ounce ultimately.

Proposed events going forward:
1. COMEX will increase margin SIGNIFICANTLY
2. ETF's will show that they don't have the supply and will shutdown
3. Countries start to nationalize mines and miners - the last being America. At that point I would choose Wheaton Precious Metals WPM and Newmont Mining NEM. Since you do not actually own your own shares, your clearinghouse does you may have to file away for the stock itself which has a fee. I think we'll have a grid down scenario that transitions us to DIGITALID which will wipe or paralyze markets for awhile.
Better divide your portfolio allocated for silver as follows depending on whether you feel there will be a grid down scenario:
1. 50% physical + 0% mining options + 50% stock if you're conservative.
2. 50% physical + 25% mining options + 25% stock if you're moderate.
3. 25% physical + 50% mining options + 25% stock if you're aggressive.

Weird how reality runs on fractals, that history rhymes. Here's the silver miners playing out - which I think is correlated to market flushes.

Here's the movements:
After the top it took 6 weeks to reach a bottom - we're in week 4 (almost 20% loss).
One week up retracement (8% gain) - which'll coincide with the FOMC minutes (I bet they are hawkish to warrant FED doing an about face and cutting in July).
One week huge down candle (30% loss).
One (half) week up retracement (20% gain).
One week (and the previous half) another huge down candle (40% loss).
Last week goes up beginning the week and then down further (40% loss) and bottoms midweek before catapulting - which coincides with the July FOMC rate decision (30% gain).

I'm hoping IV is cheap enough to buy some puts and calls - not sure how much volatility will raise the price towards the bottom so it might be wise to buy some longer dated calls in and then scale in as time goes on and variances work themselves out.

I'm looking to buy in 2 weeks.

I anticipate the market to capsize after the FOMC minutes are released. Buy puts before that (Wednesday July 3rd before a holiday and the fireworks happen - in the market...), then if IV is low, buy calls on EVERYTHING CAUSE IT'S GONNA MOON!!

Newmont doubled within 2 months after rates were cut so I'm gonna buy calls on that miner which is the safest in the world. I anticipate price to be about $20 when this happens. There's a chance Newmont could go up 400% within 1 year.

If IV hasn't gone up too much, I'll rotate into the junior miner Endeavor Silver EXK which also went up 400% in 6 months and 800% in 1 year back in 2020. I will be loading calls on this one as well, hopefully getting in at $1.
