Gold 29393
Silver 39560
Although silver's recent COT cannot be described as bullish, they have looked better than those for gold, but this past week, unlike gold's,
they took a turn for the worse. There is plenty of room for improvement here, which will be occasioned by silver breaking lower and dropping
to the $16 area on a dollar rally.
Like gold, silver is marking out a giant Head-and-Shoulders bottom pattern, but in silvers case it is downsloping as we can see on its 8-year
chart below, which reflects the fact that silver tends to underperform gold at the end of sector bear markets and during the early stages of
sector bull markets. Prolonged underperformance by silver is therefore a sign of a bottom. This chart really does show how unloved silver is
right now, but although the price has drifted slightly lower over the past several years, volume indicators have improved, especially this year, a
positive sign. A break above the neckline of the pattern, the black line, will be a positive development, and more so a break above the band
of resistance approaching the 2016 highs. Once it gets above this it will have to contend with a quite strong zone of resistance roughly
between $26 and $28. Over the short to medium-term, however, as discussed above, silver is likely to first react back to the $16 area on a
dollar rally.
