Silver prices printed $21 intraday for the first time since July 2014 as the Brexit vote has traders anticipating more central bank easing. Lower interest rates make metals like silver and gold generally more attractive. With silver prices poised to finish higher 5 sessions in a row, you would think they just won the Miss Universe contest.



However, later this week we have the US non-farm payrolls printing. Though the market is pricing in a very low probability of a rate hike in 2016, a strong NFP number may cause some repricing of future rate hikes and perhaps taper some of silver’s growth.

Additionally, today’s intraday high is $21.17 where prices subsequently spiked lower. It is possible that prices may dip back to the $19.00-19.50 price zone. This price zone could be an area to buy the dip as it was a former break out level.

After having 2 weeks of strong moves higher, silver prices are at risk of a meaningful pull back. On a more bearish note, a previous 4th wave (which is a common retracement level) is the July 2014 high of $21.60. Though future gains are possible, one has to consider the possibility of the shorter term trend consolidating from near current levels.

Bottom line, the train has left the station so new bulls may want to consider waiting for a dip towards $19.00-19.50. The risk for bulls is $18.04.

If the medium term to longer term top is in place, then we’ll reconsider our wave labels on a break below $18.04.
