Silver’s Ranging Pattern
By Blackwell Global (Ross Woodfield) | Jul 07, 2014 03:05AM ET Silver is currently insistent is forming a range pattern with a slightly bullish trend to it that can be taken advantage of as it heads down to the lower end.
Silver recently broke out of a very old downward sloping triangle as it powered up over $1.00 per ounce, or over 5%. The breakout on the 19th June was largely down to the fact that the US Federal Reserve said that interest rates would remain low “for some time”. This in turn increased demand for haven assets, such as gold and silver, as the yield on US Treasury assets looks bleak. The strong breakout attests to how strong the triangle was.
The recent US nonfarm payroll data did not have as big an effect on silver as one might expect. The report showed the US economy added 288k jobs in June, much higher than the 215k the market was expecting. Logically, we would expect gold and silver to fall sharply on this news as it shows the US economy recovering, however the response was muted as the market is wary of the recent negative GDP data (-2.9% annually)and the uncertain outlook on interest rates. The resistance held firm at US$20.77 per ounce and a large bullish rejection wick formed as the price pushed over the $21.00 mark.
The ranging pattern has seen the support line tested several times with only the non-farm data providing a false breakout. This means the channel will hold in the near term and it will take quite a bit to break the channel down. Indeed the RSI shows the current momentum has reversed and is now back with the bulls having found support at 21.01. This could result in a touch of the upper resistance line.
In this case there are four options for traders to take advantage of the price action. If there is a touch of the bottom support line, traders will look to have a stop sell below the trend line to take advantage of a break out, with a stop loss inside the line. At the same time a stop buy can be placed above the support line to catch the momentum of a bounce off the trend line.
If the price moves upwards to the top resistance line, a similar set up can be put in place.This will either catch a break out to the top side, or a bounce back down inside the channel. In any case, look for the levels of support and resistance when deciding price levels to target.
