We got some favorable seasonal price action in Silver with some sort of bottom in December, coupled with a little safe haven buying as a result of the stock market sell-off. Looking suspiciously like a short covering rally against a potential double bottom going back to December 2015. The rally out of the bottom doesn’t have the oomph you would expect out of a new bull trend. The dollar is also still very strong, and I’m expecting a bounce into the New Year out of the stock market. This move has climbed over the 200 day moving average, and I expect it to continue at least to the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at ~ $16. After that we’ll see. Personally, I’m expecting a resumption of the bear trend at that point into a major cycle low in the Summer. Stock market sell-offs tend to suppress the price of PM’s as all assets wind up getting sold, and it just feels like there is a deflationary event about to hit…
Might be a good opportunity to sell some calls against a paper Silver position, and drag one’s feet for a couple months if dollar cost averaging in… Otherwise, Stack On!

Though this idea is still possible, laying out the cycles for the coming year, my current thinking can be found here:
