Precious metals have been red hot in 2024, with gold and silver rallying sharply and out-performing most assets.
I have written several bullish articles about precious metals over the past few years. And while I remain bullish longer term, I am in a wait-and-see mode short-term.
Why? Well, one answer shows up on today’s “monthly” chart of the Silver ETF (NYSE:SLV).
As you can see, SLV has rallied to the top of its rising channel and 50% Fibonacci retracement. Its rally has also formed a narrowing rising wedge price pattern.
A breakout above this area (on a monthly closing basis) would be bullish. A breakdown below Silver’s steep up-trend line would indicate a pullback/pause is in play.
Either way, this looks like an important inflection point is in play for Silver.
