#Brent #WallSt Our historical refusal to comment on Silver relates to a price movement in 2011. We’d provided a report of movement potentials, one which was proving incredibly correct as the price surged from the 20 dollar level to over 40 dollars. On the Friday when it achieved our highs, something quite awful happened just after 2pm. At the time, we speculated the grown ups from the Silver Price Manipulation office had gone out for lunch, leaving a poorly paid intern in control of the market.
When everyone returned from the pub, immediate horror clearly broke out, the price of Silver immediately being returned to the 30 dollar level. There was no breaking news driving the reversal, no similar movement in the price of Gold, just an emphatic feeling we’d been monitoring a commodity which was under manual control, now being manipulated with similar ease to someone sliding down the volume controls on a mixing deck. After our strop, we decided to cease covering Silver as the level of obvious manipulation during a trading session deserved an FSA investigation or stronger. While many folk regard the markets as “rigged” this was a truly unusual circumstance, one enacted without manipulation gaps at commencement of trade.
Obviously, our objection to market manipulation comes from the salient detail it can derail a lot of work, few things being more irritating.
And now, we come to the “however”…
The chart below shows Silver as being restrained below the 20 dollar level for the period 2015 until 2020. But from 2020 until 2025, the product was permitted to trade in the 20 to 30 dollar level. And now, we are curious whether the product is entering another 5 year phase, this time from the 30 to 40 dollar level? Events in the next few weeks should prove interesting but our software is now showing stronger potentials.
Above 38.5 dollars calculates with the potential of a lift to an initial 42 dollars with our secondary, if bettered, at a longer term 47 dollars. Obviously, the words “longer term” can be subjective when applied to Silver! But we suspect should the $47 level make an appearance, we shall not be surprised if the metal discovers a reason to melt down toward the 30 dollar level, perhaps spending the next 5 years bouncing around between 30 and 40 US Dollars.
This conclusion is obviously rather contrived, based on an expectation the price of Silver shall again find itself under manual control along with an expectation this particular Leopard shall not change its spots..

Our commentary is in two sections. Immediately below are today’s updated comments. If our commentary remains valid, the share can be found in the bottom section which has a RED heading.

Please remember, all prices are mid-price (halfway between the Buy and Sell). When we refer to a price CLOSING above a specific level, we are viewing the point where we can regard a trend as changing. Otherwise, we are simply speculating on near term trading targets. Our website is www.trendsandtargets.com.
UPDATE. We often give an initial and a secondary price. If the initial is exceeded, we still expect it to fall back but the next time the initial is bettered, the price should continue to the secondary. The converse it true with price drops.
