Silver is under attack, and prices are back below the $27.00 level. Yesterday’s gap higher was closed, and prices are backtesting the intermediate trendline. What happens next is crucial!
- A close below $26.00 would establish a false breakout and bearish reversal (favorite trick of manipulators). In this scenario, silver could collapse back towards $22.00, possibly lower.
- To reverse today’s institutional attack, retail traders need to push futures back above $29.00 before Friday.
GAMESTOP CHART (GME): GameStop is down over 60% and decisively below the $100 level.
AMC ENTERTAINMENT (AMC): Prices are down over 50% and could reach support near $5.00 as soon as today.
On a positive note, bellwether Newmont Mining is diverging bullishly.
-NEM- Newmont is rallying despite sharply lower gold and silver prices. A close above last Friday’s high ($61.50) would be bullish and support higher metal prices next week.
Note- The buying of physical precious metals is exploding and could have a bullish lag of one to two weeks.
How metals and miners respond after Friday’s employment report key.
