Although looking superficially toppy, and although it is clearly vulnerable
to a sharp intra-day dip towards $7.00, the broader picture is that silver
appears to be consolidating February's sharp rise, prior to launching an assault
on the resistance in the vicinity of the December highs in the $8 area.
The action of the past 6 weeks or so has allowed the overbought condition
that had developed by the middle of February to unwind substantially and the
moving averages to pull up beneath the price, thus increasing upside potential.
The outlook is therefore viewed as positive, which fits with the outlook for
gold and the dollar. With significant nearby support, any dips in coming days
to the $7.00 - $7.20 area would be regarded as a buying opportunity.
