SLV
SLV Corrective Action Complete?One can never really tell how elaborate corrective actions can be but it does appear that an impulsive move up may be what's coming next. The next major price target is the previous major high around 19.77. It's possible however that this target might not be hit until early next year. With that timeline in mind, I have been adding to 2021 LEAP call positions on the dips and liquidating 2020 calls on rallies. The stochastics indicator reading can be used as one of the tools to provide overbought/oversold readings to take action.
When looking at SPX move since 2009, it's impossible to forecast how high SLV could go if we are in fact entering into a Bull Market. Most Elliott Wave scenarios I've seen suggest that the current moves for gold and silver are merely Wave B of an overall corrective pattern with more downside to eventually come. If we are in the initial phases of a Bull, the length and magnitude of the move could be substantial. With computer algorhythyms and easy money controlling the market action, only short-sightedness and impatience might be the limiting factor in your profits.
Silver SLV XAG - Silver's up! Buy the dip. Buy physical silver!Silver looking good. Gold looking good. Bitcoin looking good. Litecoin looking good. I'm bullish on all of them.
I'd be stocking up on all of these, and get the real thing. Get the physical metal that you can hold in your possession. For cryptocurrency make sure you have your private keys.
SLV XAG Silver - Stop loss update, long the dipI'm playing silver in a bullish macro trend, so I'm still long. However we could see a significant pullback, shaking out weak hands and traders before a higher high. Short traders could be right depending on the degree of retracement.
However I'm not looking to short. I'm looking to long the pullback.
SLV Wave 4 Setting Up for move to 20Still holding an uptrending channel. Holding this level would be super positive, setting up for a wave 5 move to the top of the channel. By rule, Wave 4 cannot breach Wave 1 so while lower prices are still possible, impulse waves generally conform to the channel. As my long term outlook is for eventually testing the highs, I was buying Jan 2020 and Jan 2021 LEAP calls.
Earlier write- discussed the double bottom pattern. To prove the double bottom formation, price would need to break through the last major high just under 20. My expectation was that it would pick up steam and run to fill on gap on SLV above 25.50. Not certain if gaps in SLV get filled like gaps in stocks since XAGUSD trades pretty much continuous. I was watching today to see how SLV would react to filling the gap. I was buying as that gap filled. It then rallied from their but backed down at the close of the day. So I'm thinking that gaps are valid and there may be a run to 25+
As 20 gets touched/breached, would expect some selling but also, as another poster wrote, buying above 20, a breakout level, was the strategy.
As the five wave pattern completes, I'm expecting the ensuing correction to last around 3 months, possibly into next year, so I'm planning to liquidate the 2020 calls, holding on to the 2021s. Expect lots of great trading opportunities during that correction phase to build a large position in anticipation for a run to test the highs.
Silver in Wave 5 of 3?It appears that Silver has completed a wave 4 (of 3). It immediately rose to the first Fibonacci projection of 1.618 and is entertaining moving to the 2.618 level.
As the Wave 2 of the next higher level took around three months to play out, I am anticipating that when this wave 5 is completed and the higher level wave 4 begins, Silver may consolidate for a similar amount of time, meaning that we may drift to the end of the year.
But as wave 5s are said to often be the most explosive in commodities, it will be important to be patient as this minor wave 5 plays out as well as the wave 5 of the next higher level that could begin playing out, if my review is correct, early next year.
I'm currently looking to confirm the double bottom formation. This would require breaking above the last major high of 21.14 on XAG and 19.73 in SLV.
Reasons Why I Won't Buy Silver NowSilver was definitely undervalued due to strong demand, supply deficits and the gold-silver ratio.
In this chart, the blue moving line is the price of gold. We could obviously find that the gold-silver ratio has reached the highest level.
So for long term view, buying silver is a really good choice.
However, shall we buy the silver now or later? Here are couple reasons why i would like to buy silver later.
1. MACD: the macd of silver has reached overbrought area. In the recent 14 years, there were 8 times that silver's macd reached 4.81 level, and 6 of them dropped hard right after that. Now, the macd reached 4.81 level again.
2. RSI: the rsi of silver also reached overbrought area. In the recent 14 years, there were 7 times that silver's rsi reached 70 level, and 5 of them dropped hard right after that. Now, the rsi is moving above 72.2 level.
3. Short term trend is still bullish, but the strong resistance is around 17.32 to 17.57.
It's also possible that silver moving like October 2010 in the next half year.
But I prefer to wait a healthy correction before the next level breakout and it would be a good chance to buy low. (16.18 and 15.50 are strong supports. If silver break those supports, it may reach 14.90.)
SLV Will Buy the Dip Mentality Move to PMs?A more bullish view may place us in a minor wave 4 of a larger wave 3 structure with a test of the highs and the potential wave 5 coming in a couple of weeks. Some suggest that in commodities, wave 5 can be the strongest move. My longer term view (other posts) suggests a confirmation of the Major Double Bottom. To complete this formation, SLV must break above 20. As Central Banks continue to lower interest rates to negative levels, the move to precious metals should continue. With the gold/silver ratio so out of whack as it has been, it's possible that silver will eventually test the highs.
SLV 2022 LEAPs are now listed. My patient money goes into LEAPs and physicals to take away my urge to trade my positions. Spreads are not friendly here resulting in stable long term positions.
SLV Upward Bias ViewAs SLV appears to be entering into a bull market phase, interesting to see possible channel ranges. In 2021, I could imagine to see $40 as the midpoint. That could be consistent with a gold/silver ratio moving down to 40. Of course, knowing how silver trades, a $2 smackdown could occur in any moment ;-)
