drbubb Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 SILVER - The Opening Gap, got "faded" two days in a row ... Three strikes may not happen Three Day chart : Silver-update : Gold-update Note how the opening jump up was sold off between 8:00-9:30 NYT (before the SLV opening) on both Tuesday and Wednesday. This means that SLV started the trading day, trading off its high, up with a GAP still there, acting like a vacuum. Does this selling pattern mean that Silver will not move higher. I don't think so, I think the selling is being absorbed, and SLV / Silver may be set for a move higher. The SLV chart looks different - more bullish, I think ... SLV 10d-update : SLV-6mos : GLD-6mos : GDX-6mos SLV remains in a reasonable position for a sustainable rise. A push above the 8d-MA on Thursday, may set the stage for a decent rally going into September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbubb Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Does higher Silver need some inflation? Maybe Interestingly, Dan Norcini is not at all bullish on silver: Agressive Hedge Fund Selling Plagues Silverhttp://traderdannorcini.blogspot.de/2014/08/agressive-hedge-fund-selling-plagues.html Oddly enough, the hedgies made a big push into silver in early June of this year so much so that they managed to build the largest net long position that they have had in nearly 4 years. . . . All I can say to that is it is one tall order! With 4 four months left in the year, inflation expectations had better change in one big hurry! Again, it is so tragic that people will run out and spend their hard-earned money and precious investment capital on investments touted by those talking their book instead of doing some hard-nosed, objective analysis of the markets. . . . When one looks at the various commodity sector indices ( I am currently using the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index) they are hard-pressed to find the least bit of inflation in tangibles... Can things change in that regards? Sure they can! The one thing about markets is that they are always changing. For the time being however, one must respect the charts and right now the charts are saying that the notion of $50 silver before 2014 comes to an end is a quaint fairy tale, without some sort of stupendous event occurring. == == OKAY. Well, I am not touting $50 Silver by January... But I do think Inflationary expectations can begin to change soon.

happy Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Just for the sake of contrast, an über bearish view on Silver (funny how often 'elliot wave' and 'bearish' seem to go hand in hand) . . from Elliot Wave Gold: Last Elliott wave analysis for Silver (and GDX) expected the trend was down. It turns out this was correct, as it has been confirmed for Gold today. Although the alternate wave count for Silver is not technically invalidated, I expect it should be within another couple of weeks. I will just present the one wave count for you today, with Gold, Silver and GDX all in alignment. For now minute wave v is incomplete. While it is underway no second wave correction may move beyond its start above 19.907 ^ looks like 19.10 is the "line in the sand" for the more bullish scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLASH Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Standard bank have released a report today and it talks about the Silver demand in China, it is slightly bearish but does mention there is a report coming out of China towards the end of next week with the Silver import data for August so I will look out for that and hopefully it will give us more information. http://www.kitco.com/reports/CommsDaily_Sept122014.pdf It looks like Chinese imports have been low and they have been depleting their own stockpiles rather than importing more Silver. The turning point in the Silver price is likely to come from the Chinese starting to import more Silver so I think these reports could be important. It does mention historically in September and October Silver imports to China are usually low but I am not sure if this has as much relevance as it used to as their stockpiles were much higher previous years but if this is still the case maybe the rally is another month away.

drbubb Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 The Silver Sentiment Cycle — Turnaround Coming? Filed in Precious Metals by SRSrocco on September 16, 2014 • 9 Comments 1972-1979 2008 - 2014 According to the work of Gary Christenson, the price movement of silver over the past several years resembles what took place during the 1970′s, when silver shot up to nearly $50 in 1979. Gary provides some excellent charts showing similar silver sentiment cycles during the 1972-1979 & 2008-2014 time periods. The Silver Sentiment Cycle by […] "After silver rallied to the then astounding price of $6.40 in early 1974, it crashed back to $3.80 and then traded sideways for 2 years. Less than 3 years later it had briefly traded at $50.00, due to a combination of inflation, debt and deficits, political issues, conflict with the USSR, fear, a market corner, and dollar weakness. After rallying to another “unthinkable” price of nearly $50 in 2011, silver crashed to about $18.50. However, in another 3 -5 years, perhaps in 2017 – 2019, I expect silver will have rallied to $50, $100 or maybe $300 or more, due to a combination of multiple wars, unpayable debts, inflation, deficits, bailouts, bail-ins, massive “money printing,” inflationary expectations, QE, potential hyperinflation, considerable fear, currency wars, counter-party risk, political issues, derivatives, conflict with Russia, economic and dollar weakness, and the weakening or outright loss of the dollar’s global reserve currency status. We know that financial television (and others) expect (hope) the S&P to rally and silver to collapse, but we must remember who pays the bills for financial television, buys the advertising, and supports the various fictions in our current economic and political environment. Along with many others, I expect that silver will rally for the next 3 – 7 years." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLASH Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-09-18/silver-s-etf-demand-outpaces-gold-by-most-ever-chart-of-the-day.html Silver’s ETF Demand Outpaces Gold by Most Ever: Chart of the Day By Luzi Ann Javier Sep 19, 2014 12:00 AM GMT 6 Comments Email Print Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn Save Investors in exchange-traded funds backed by silver have stayed loyal to the metal longer than those who bought gold. The CHART OF THE DAY shows shares outstanding for the biggest U.S. silver ETF surpassing those for the nation’s largest gold fund by the most since 2006, when the iShares Silver Trust was created. Retail buyers are sticking with silver even as prices fell 4.4 percent this year, the most of any precious metal. Gold’s 2 percent gain wasn’t enough to halt declines in selling, and assets in the SPDR Gold Trust are set for a second annual loss. “The perception is that silver will do well, and should outperform gold as the economic recovery strengthens,” Tom Kendall, the head of commodities research at Credit Suisse in London, said in a telephone interview. “Belief in silver’s dual properties, as a financial asset and also as an industrial metal, appears to remain strong.” While money managers hold the least bullish bets on silver since they were net short on June 10, demand for the metal from solar panel makers is seen rising to a record this year by CPM Group, a New York-based researcher. Demand from jewelry and silverware makers will climb 4.3 percent, according to CPM. U.S. economic growth will accelerate to 3 percent in 2015, from 2.1 percent forecast for this year, according to a Bloomberg survey of 89 analysts. Signs of stronger growth helped push the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index of shares to a record yesterday, while the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index reached the highest since 2010, reducing the appeal of precious metals as alternative investments. Buyers of silver are less swayed by price movements, because unlike gold, the metal is a “buy and hold and forget about it kind of investment,” said Kendall, the third-most accurate precious-metals forecaster tracked by Bloomberg in the eight quarters ended June 30. “It’s not so actively managed by the retail crowd. It’s tucked away as a retirement store of value or hedge against disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
