Gold (June) / Silver (July)
Gold, yesterday’s close: Settled at 2392.9, down 33.0
Silver, yesterday’s close: Settled at 31.496, down 0.582
The metals complex was bludgeoned yesterday and given the late session selling, settlement prices do not do it justice. While risk management becomes more important than ever during times of uncertainty, pullbacks or corrections can last longer than one is comfortable, it is also equally as crucial to back out of the forest to see the trees. It is a time like this that I am reminded that during Silver’s path to $50 in 2011, there were multiple corrections of $3 or more. In February 2011, Silver broke out above its December high of 31.27 and on the third session, stretched to a high of 34.33 before consolidating a day and plunging to a low of 31.69. There were four instances like this before Silver peaked at 49.82 on April 25, 2011.
Yes, our Bias remains more Bullish, and it becomes imperative for Silver to have a constructive path and hold out above our two waves of rare major four-star support. The first aligns the April high with the .382 retracement back to the May low at 30.19-30.27. Last night’s low was 30.36. In the case of additional pressures, we will look to a critical area at 29.50-29.72. If that is surrendered, the bigger broader narrative is bending.
