The 2010s"},"content":{"rendered":"

Silver surprised us with a strong Santa Claus Rally<\/a>. It woke up like an ancient volcano and with a booming eruption. Before that, we proclaimed silver to be dormant compared to a vigorous rival, gold.<\/p>\n

Everything changed at the end of 2018 as gold gained 10% from the lows and a weak silver tried to catch up to make the same profit at the very end. Bargain hunters couldn\u2019t pass by this clear market distortion and took their chance to book a nice profit of around 4%.<\/p>\n

In my earlier post<\/a> I updated the medium term gold chart<\/a> for you. Last time I updated the big chart<\/a> of silver in October, which was titled dramatically \u201cFly Or Die\u201d<\/a> as submissive behavior of silver was leaving less and less hope for investors.<\/p>\n

This time I am going to update the silver chart, but using a different approach. You are already familiar with it as I used historical clones with gold<\/a> and silver<\/a> before. The latter one was successful. This time it will be extended as I will use two clones instead of one from different historical periods so you can choose.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the distant one.<\/p>\n

Chart 1. Silver Futures Monthly: Echo Of the 80s<\/h2>\n

This chart was built in a high resolution, and I recommend you to click on it to open in a new window to see a larger image in details, especially in the right clone (orange box). <\/p>\n

It shows that history could repeat after almost forty years. In the late 70s and the early 80s, we got the same rocket move of the silver futures price, which had exhausted at the beginning of the $40 area: the same movement we had in the late 00s and early 10s of this century.<\/p>\n

I copied the bar pattern in the left blue box and added it in the area of the right orange box as they are located at the same stage of this enormous downside correction. So far the trajectory of the move in the orange box coincides with the orange bar pattern. The candles of the current move do not copy the sequence of the added bars perfectly, but the timing of the peaks and troughs and even inner consolidations do match so far.<\/p>\n

The next move is expected to be the extended sideways consolidation followed by revisiting of the former valley around the $14 level. After that, we could see a relatively small move up, which will be retraced quite deeply and then the final shot to the upside in the area of $19 could emerge till November of 2020. This pattern requires a lot of patience, and limited expectations of strong gains as the market couldn\u2019t retest the earlier top (corresponding to $24 nowadays) in the 80s. Let\u2019s see what the recent case could show us below. <\/p>\n

Chart 2. Silver Futures Weekly: Recent Model<\/h2>\n

This chart was built in a high resolution, and I recommend you to click on it to open in a new window to see a larger image in details, especially in the right clone (maroon box).
\nThis idea is not new, and you are already familiar with this map<\/a> as I drew it for you before, but without using a cloning approach. The latter is a fine tuning of a general chart to augment it with market stages and price action.<\/p>\n

The move up, which started in December of 2015 and emerged in the first half of 2016, is highlighted with a blue box on the left. I copied it in the maroon box on the right with the green bar pattern. Again, as we saw it in the first chart of the 80s above, we also have a reasonable reconstruction of the trajectory and even amplitude of the moves, although the recent peak ($15.96) couldn\u2019t reach the projected point of $16.3. <\/p>\n

The current weakness began slightly ahead of time, and the market could get stuck here for some time within a sideways consolidation, which was contoured with black parallel trendlines in both boxes. The price in the pattern dips below $15 in the area of $14.70-14.90. After that it makes another zigzag up and down between $16.50 and $15, only then it finally goes up. So, watch this stage closely as after it finishes, there could be an excellent buying opportunity. The price levels should be adapted as we already have a lower peak and hence the dip could be lower. The structure of the chart does matter not the exact levels.<\/p>\n

The ultimate target is located above $21 level and is thought to tag the earlier top at least. Let\u2019s see how the market would emerge as we never know the future, but we can try to read the clues on the chart. <\/p>\n
