Remember that $39 for some month(s) later in 2011?
With people asking on forums if it would be the bottom to never revisit?
Same upspikes, with people describing them as 'breakouts'.
Well, it's $20 now, halve of that $39.
So if you think you missed something, or are happy to have bought right before it, well, things can change, and the evolution of the futures market position shows that alot sold during the last $22 revisit. The question then is, when will the futures market position holders terminate their positions? Because then those $22 revisit sales will finally be reflected in the price.
That's how it is now. Things can change.
One new element is the Comex depositories silver stock, since end 2011, from a low of 110 Moz, it increased to about 185 Moz, as a long gradual trend over 2 years long. Since a fat week, it's like that gradual long trend reverted, it dropped to under 180 Moz again. But also here: it can be just an interruption of this gradual trend, although it's the first time I saw it drop with that amount.
