arton- Silver metal or SlV? they trade at slightly
different prices but of course follow one another.
As always it's sort of a personal choice depending on your
personal risk tolerances and are you a gold bug buying it for
the long term (which means you could use a wider stop) or are you
buying it for a swing trade or for a short term bounce soon?
All this matters and changes the answer.
I discussed this on the weekend commodity newsletter and I have
in the past. For gold and Silver, it was a great time to buy
long term positions in them in the July/Aug time frame when they
were in their bottoming patterns and seasonality also kicks in
during those months. Recently I've stated that this pullback
as long as it forms a lower high and doesn't pullback too much
might offer a second buying opportunity. Over the weekend I
discussed support areas as the 38% and 50% Fib and 200 day MA.
One could consider scaling in perhaps vs buying a whole
position at once with a stop in of course. Or one might want
to wait for some kind of reversal on the 60 min chart such as
breaking a downtrend line etc.
As far as this pullback, it depends what kind of pullback it is,
I guess we'll find out over time. If the move off the Aug
lows was a wave 1, then this pullback would be a wave 2 and form a
lower time, however be warned, wave 2's can be quite deep,
retracting 62% at times and 50%. There are other alternatives
of course.
I've attached a daily and 60 min chart, on the 60 min chart I
would like to see it break out of the channel or at least see it
start moving up on some volume with better divergence
Thank you matt. I buy CFDs on the spot metal. The leverage
position doesnt allow me to take wider stop/loss. I am kind of a
gold buck and want to buy it for a swing trade, although short
terms gains are welcomed :)
