Silver (SLV) putting in a bottom

Over the course of the next week - I think you can see the emergence of a 20%-30% rally in silver in the first half of this year.

Whether we see another decline to wipe out all bullish sentiment and provide a fertile ground for a much bigger rally or whether prices maintain these 1-month new highs and then gradually work their way higher and then accelerate as the quarter unfolds, either is a good option from my perspective.

With year-end out of the way, any shorts who piled-on to the down trade in silver are now ready to focus elsewhere since the last drop failed to take out the July low.

Keep risk low by averaging in over the next week and only add the last position if prices are breaking out of the 5-day range.
