$silver printed a very rare weekly black last week.  I think this guarantees we will get a lower weekly close than $24.87 (last week’s closing price) either this week or in the weeks ahead.

If silver were to really plunge here, I would only start to get worried on break below $20.78 in the next 2 weeks.  That level represents the flat bottom of the weekly Ichimoku cloud–however, that flat portion of the cloud won’t provide support until we get into the first week of February, 2 weeks from now.

Look what they did to silver in late February 2020.  It was in a similar situation as now with respect to weekly cloud support, but they managed to break it below the cloud literally a week before it would have provided support.  Will history repeat?  I certainly hope not.  If it breaks down again, I don’t think it will recover this time.
