The next move in Silver may be stunning! [Dec 28 2012]


From KingWorldNews:
The silver chart above shows the important moves and consolidations since the advance began in 2003.  Note that the last consolidation lasted 91 weeks.  After silver was then able to break out above the $21 resistance area, it subsequently advanced roughly 150%.  If silver were to replicate a move of that magnitude, after breaking the recent high of nearly $50, it would put the next target for silver at a staggering $125.

Silver Vaults Stuffed Means Price Rising 30% in ’13: Commodities [Bloomberg.com]


Silver Bullion Pte, one of Singapore’s largest suppliers of coins and bars to retail investors, says sales tripled since October, part of a global surge in demand that drove holdings to a record.
“Our clients are worried that a major currency crisis or mass bankruptcies would occur,” said Gregor Gregersen, the 36- year-old founder of Silver Bullion, whose sales now average about S$6 million ($4.9 million) a month. “It all has to do with falling confidence in the heavily indebted Western governments and financial institutions.”
Global investment through silver-backed exchange-traded products reached a record 18,854 metric tons in November, or more than nine months of mine output, data compiled by Bloomberg show. Holdings are now valued at about $19.2 billion. Prices will rise as much as 34 percent to $40.25 an ounce next year, based on the median of 49 analyst, trader and investor estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Silver almost tripled since the end of 2008, lagging behind only platinum in gains for precious metals this year as policy makers from the U.S. to China to Europe pledged more action to boost economies. That’s attracting investors betting that stimulus will stoke inflation and debase currencies. It’s also luring those wagering growth will strengthen industrial demand for silver, 53 percent of which is used in everything from televisions to batteries.

Silver update: 20th Dec 2012. By Trader Richard


30.00 seems to be the next support level and my personal opinion is that going back down to the 26.00 level is highly unlikely because silver seems to be respecting the bottom rising trend line so far. I think a break out to the upside out of this flag formation is imminent and more likely scenario. Kudos to those long term investors that were able to sustain this long sideways consolidation, which was probably designed to shakeout weak holders. Hoping it won't be much longer before you guys will be rewarded handsomely for your patience, because once this resolves to the upside, the move may be explosive.

China Silver Demand to Advance to Record on Wealth Protection [By Bloomberg News - Oct 25, 2012 10:50 AM GMT+0800]


Silver demand in China, the world’s second-largest user, is set to jump as much as 10 percent next year to a record as investors look to preserve wealth, according to Beijing Antaike Information Development Co.
Consumption may climb to 7,700 metric tons after gaining 6 percent to 8 percent in 2012, Shi Heqing, an analyst at Beijing Antaike, said in an interview on Oct. 22. About 33 percent of the country’s demand comes from jewelry and coins, with the rest from industrial use in photography, solar and electrical appliances, according to Antaike, which has studied metals for two decades.
Chinese investors are buying more silver as the second- largest economy slowed for a seventh quarter, the Shanghai Composite Index is heading for a third straight annual drop and property curbs are limiting prices. Silver climbed 14 percent this year and holdings by exchange traded funds gained 6.5 percent this year after touching 592 million ounces last week.
“Chinese investors want hard assets such as silver, especially when it’s cheaper than gold and requires less funding,” Shi said. “Many producers and investors have hoarded the precious metal in the form of ingots or unwrought silver.”
Silver rose 53 percent in the Federal Reserve’s first round of quantitative easing, or QE, from December 2008 through March 2010, twice as much as gold, and 24 percent during the second phase ending in June 2011, three times as much. The U.S. central banks announced a third round of QE on Sept. 13. Silver will probably beat gold in the next several quarters, Morgan Stanley (MS) predicts.

Gold & Silver on the Verge of Something Huge!
June 20th, 2012 at 8:35 pm
Gold and silver have taken more of a back seat over the past 12 months because of their lack of performance after topping out in 2011. Since then prices have been trading sideways/lower with declining volume. The price action is actually very bullish from a technical standpoint. My chart analysis and forward looking forecasts show $3,000ish for gold and $90ish for silver in the next 18-24 months.
Now don’t get too excited yet as there is another point of view to ponder…
My non-technical outlook is more of a contrarian thought and worth thinking about as it may unfold and catch many gold bugs and investors off guard costing them a good chunk of their life savings. While I could write a detailed report with my thinking, analysis and possible outcomes I decided to keep it simple and to the point for you.
Bullish Case: Euro-land starts to crumble, stocks fall sharply sending money into gold and silver which are trading at these major support levels which in the past triggered multi month rallies.
Bearish Case: Greece, Spain and Italy worth through their issues over the next few months while metals bounce around or drift higher because of uncertainty. But once things have been sorted out and financial stability (of some sort) has been created and the END OF THE FINANCIAL COLLAPSE has been avoided money will no longer want to be in precious metals but rather move into risk-on.
Take a look at the gold and silver charts below for an idea of what may happen and where support levels are if we do see money start to rotate out of metals in the next 3-6 months.


Over the next few months things will slowly start to unfold and shed some light on what the next big move is likely going to happen to gold and silver.
The price movements we have seen for both gold and silver indicate were are just warming up for something really big to happen. It could be a massive parabolic rally to ridiculous new highs in 2012/2013 or it could be a huge  unwinding of the safe havens as countries sort out their issues and the big money starts moving out of metals and into currencies and stocks.
Only time will tell and that is why I analyze the market multiple times per week to stay on top of both long term and short term trends.
