Chart of the Day 

πŸ† Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by John Kolovos (@John_Kolovos).

  • Silver broke out to a 2-year high today after blasting through resistance at $26/oz.
  • Futures have surged +10% in the past five days, marking Silver’s best five-day rally since Nov. ’22.
  • It’s approaching near-term resistance at $29 from the 2020/2021 peaks, but John points out that today’s breakout ultimately targets the 2011 highs at $45.

The takeaway: Silver is slowly building a long-term uptrend, and today’s move opens the door to significant upside. This also confirms the bull market in precious metals, as Silver is starting to outshine Gold.

Quote of the Day

"One of the frustrating things for people who miss the first rally in a bull market is that they wait for the big correction, and it never comes. The market just keeps climbing and climbing."
