Silver always lags gold's initial move. I see this year after year. When gold goes up and makes spectacular moves, then silver rallies but not nearly as much. But then eventually, if gold's rally continues to persist, then silver has a rocket ride as it plays catch up at the end (while gold does little). Then those people who were wondering why silver was underperforming then wonder why silver is doing so well. This is also called by some silver confirming gold's move. Unless we get a confirmation eventually with silver matching gold's pace to some degree (or exceeding it for a while), then it could be that we get a correction in gold. Silver therefore often offers traders a second chance. We'll have to wait and see if it happens this time.
