How the FED Will Pump SilverHistorically, when the FED decides to raise interest rates it ends up breaking the market. This happened in 2000 and 2008 with the solution being interest rate suppression and quantitative easing. Both of these methods produce abnormal rates of inflation, leading the FED to raise interest rates in an attempt to preserve the purchasing power of the dollar - and it breaks once more. It is practically certain that going into this next recession, the FED will once more lower interest rates in an attempt to stimulate the economy. Yet each time they do this, they must start by filling the "bad debt black hole" in order to prevent a complete breakdown in confidence. The black hole grows proportionally to debt, and considering there is more debt now than there ever has been in history, the initial round of QE required this go around must be unprecedented in scale. QE and suppressed interest rates are what caused commodity prices to take off in 2009, notably gold, silver and oil. We can expect the same result this go around. Once the FED is forced to lower interest rates close to or below 0%, there will be no floor on inflation. That point in time will be the perfect setup for silver to shine. When will it happen? It could take another year or so before we see a FED response to a market suffering from debt withdrawals. SLV calls are particularly attractive in such a scenario, as they offer superior leverage for limited risk. Assuming SLV went from $15 to $60 within two years (well within reason), SLV calls offer reward:risk of up to 70:1. Best positioning may be found after a drastic FFR rate cut. Side note: Largest physical holding of silver, and manager of the SLV fund, just so happens to be JPM. JPM also *coincidentally* held the largest net short position in silver on the futures exchange not long ago (cash deliverable only).

SILVER VS BTC BUBBLE ANALOGIn our BTC vs SLV analog piece we identified remarkable similarities within the charts. Trying to figure out the time frame of the consolidation area is key. In SLV, the timing of that consolidation period was over 3 months, however, the 500% rally also took 2.5 years. In BTC, the 500% rally only took ~9 months. With this scaling in mind, the consolidation period in BTC may be closer to ~1 month than 3. Any clues as to WHEN the next move occurs is critical when it comes to trading BTC Derivates, because in options, timing is everything! In the first week of December, we had compared the two charts stating that BTC was in a consolidation period that, if correlated on the same time scale as the SLV bubble, would break the interim lows of ~$3,200 between 1-3 months. We believe this thesis still remains intact which could mean seeing a break of the lows in the coming weeks. A 25% selloff in BTC from the current lows of $3,200 would be to roughly $2,400. If this occurs, we believe new institutional players will enter this space to start reallocating their assets and resources into Cryptocurrencies. Since BTC has first-mover advantage and name recognition, we think this would be the coin that "Wall Street" uses as an avenue to invest in to get digital asset exposure.

Is silver about to turn bullish?Good afternoon traders, Been quite some time, my workload is year round, however it's quite seasonal. I'm finally coming off and find myself with some time to do some charting. Silver is one of my long term holds, it's at historical imbalances with gold, and once again, expected to out perform gold in 2019, take that with a grain of salt because as we all know, metals aren't the cool investment on the block these past years. Let's dive in. Bullish Key Points: 1) Silver is currently sitting underneath the 21 Weekly EMA, the first test will be to clear this hurdle and start trading between the 21 and 50 EMA. 2) The 21 and 50 EMA have crossed on the daily chart, last time this has happened was June 8th and silver rallied almost 6%. 3) If silver can break the 21 weekly EMA, then it has another immediate test @ 14.00. Beyond this, we have the local downtrend channel dating back to August 2016 @ 14.50. 4) Silver currently has the most upside of all the metals, and with the current market economy, could potentially realize significant gains in the next couple of months. Bearish Key Points: 1) Let's be honest, this is a highly manipulated market. If the powers that be deem it's not going anywhere, well it just won't. 2) Weekly EMA test. Silver has not traded above the 21 EMA since June, if it can't find steam in the current market conditions, I'm not sure what else it will take to get it moving. 3) It has major tests ahead. In addition to the weekly EMA we also have two major tests within 6% of the current price. Positions: 1) I currently hold spot silver ETF, as well as multiple future long calls.
