Chart of the Day

Does an 11-yr high count as a breakout? Hi-Ho #silver pic.twitter.com/L2QcjDYNN3

🏆 Today’s Chart of the Day was shared by Renaissance Macro Research (@RenMacLLC).

Silver broke out to its highest level in over a decade today, surging +6%. This was its best week in over three years, gaining +11%.

It blasted through resistance around $30/oz., opening the door to significant potential upside. This is rare air for Silver.

It has built a three-year base from which to launch higher. This pattern also resembles a Head & Shoulders Bottom. A measured move suggests a price target of around $35.

The takeaway: Silver broke out to an 11-year high today after shattering resistance at $30. It’s resolving higher from a three-year accumulation pattern, and the next upside objective is $35. This also validates the bull market for precious metals.

Dow 40K is here! This is a price weighted index that doesn’t include dividends. Including dividends, we would be talking about the Dow Total Return index approaching 100K! (It crossed 99K today) pic.twitter.com/B03ioZm2Sx

Yes, a sample size of 3...

One yr after Dow 10k, 20k, and 30k did you know stocks were up more than 20% on avg and higher each time? Yep, it is true.

Many fear new highs, but history says new highs tend to open the door for more new highs.#Dow40K pic.twitter.com/U41xRUyE8w

The S&P 500's on pace to finish the month of May at a new all-time high monthly close & higher by 10%+ through the first 5 months of the year.

After such a strong start to the year, what can the S&P 500 possibly have in store for the remainder of the year?

A lot, actually. pic.twitter.com/i44dsoUIBu

With the caveat that the sample size is only 2, historically speaking, silver breaking above 30 IS a big deal (as long as it stays above 30). @sentimentrader pic.twitter.com/lnof9FJ8nP

SILVER -- and a HI HO Silver Away
The initial target based on the chart principle of measured moves in the nearby contract is $35.50. If given the opportunity I will take some profits at this level. $SLV $SI_F pic.twitter.com/kxSXiFu0gC

https://t.co/zFVYbtzRtI wanted to see relative strength from silver. Well silver is already +17.5% MTD which is its best monthly return in 11 years (excluding May and July 2020 when it was rebounding off crash lows). Look at this monthly chart and MACD. pic.twitter.com/s11DpXVYue
