Silver’s Long-Term Support Line Has Been Reached. What’s Next?

Summing up, the outlook for silver remains bearish. However, taking into account the facts that spot silver reached the support line based on the 2008 and 2013 lows and the SLV ETF just declined on significant volume, we might see a corrective move up in the short term. Additionally, Monday’s reversal makes the upward correction even more likely to be seen in the coming days.

Why gold and silver are having a tough time

Ben Bernanke provided some clarity to the recent confusion surrounding the Fed’s QE stimulus program. He indicated on Tuesday that the near-zero Fed Funds rate will likely remain at that level long after ending asset purchases under quantitative easing (QE). This satisfied Wall Street and provided much relief, allowing a mini-rally to transpire in equities but providing additional selling pressure for gold and silver.

Is Silver Likely to Decline from Here?

Looking at the chart of silver from today’s point of view, we see that at the end of the previous week, the white metal (similarly to gold) moved higher after Federal Reserve Chair Nominee Janet Yellen told that monetary stimulus tools shouldn't be removed too soon. If you recall, several days ago we wrote that gold could move higher but that that would just be a counter trend move and would likely be followed by further declines.

Silver Fundamentals from an Historian’s Perspective

Ryan Jordan, Ph.D. is a professional historian, author and college professor. He is the author of “Silver – The Peoples Metal” which I highly recommend. He sees silver fundamentals from the perspective of a historian and as an astute observer of present conditions. He studies the drivers of the silver market, supply, demand, mining, inflation, investment sentiment, central bank bond monetization policies, and politics.
