We provided you some data about silver from the technical analysis (TA) community earlier this week that suggests silver may outperform in the medium (1-2 years) to long (5-8 years) term. Yesterday our friends in the “Silver Squeeze” community sent us an interesting observation that is positive for silver in the near term (2-6 months).
By plotting the spot price of silver on a graph, we can create a “50-day moving average” and a “200-day moving average”, illustrating the trend lines for silver over the last 50 or 200 days. When these lines intersect, it often indicates the near-term direction for silver. They crossed yesterday afternoon in an upward direction for the first time since July 2, 2020. Silver was 66% higher within five weeks the last time this happened.
