Next test at 200 day moving average of + $29. I would expect the 200 should hold, but don't underestimate the ability of those that can manipulate the market.
The fed is more beholden to JPM Chase than they are the taxpayers.

I have been around a long time. Been there, done that. I have seen other markets than silver dive way down below the moving average then to recover to some sort of stability near the moving average.
I think, perhaps, it has to do with market sentiment, otherwise known as mob mentality, and hasn't much to do with the rational market price.
When the professional speculators move out of a specific market, taking their profits with them, they sit on the sidelines, looking for the next opportunity.
Real estate came and went, shares came and went, now precious metals, in particular, silver. The stock market is where these animals usually hang out, because there is more readily accessible capital tied up in this area, and they can be less noticed.
It is a good way to distort capital markets, and therefore an economy, and is part of the reason why the U.S. economy is in trouble. A nasty little human foible called greed is a strong causative factor.
That is one of the reasons why it is rational to diversify your investments.

Silver went up to $35.62, that's a $0.96 or 2.76% increase. I don't really care a whole lot where silver is, because if I buy silver coins (which I don't very often), they tend to be old (i.e. Barber, Capped Bust).

It is entirely possible that silver will trade in a range for a while, neither going really high or dropping really low. A trading range of $35-45 would not surprise me a bit.
Interestingly enough, the US dollar is showing some strength recently. I'm not sure why this should be, since all of the dollar's problems are still in force. Maybe it is the best house in a bad neighborhood?
Saw some info on the web that indicated that Greek financial problems are boosting the dollar vs. the Euro. Hmmm... much ado about nothing, IMHO. Greece has a GNP that is about the same as Washington State. We have our own money and budget problems but no one is sniveling about how WA is threatening the financial stability of the USA. <shrug>

I read a great quote the other day that said both the U.S. dollar and all other fiat currencies are dropping like a rock without a parachute. One has fallen 8,000 feet and the other 9,000 so the first one is better!  |

If I was in charge, I would create a one world currency based on gold and silver and the fluctuation of the world market for each gold and silver. Accepted in China, America, the Congo, you name it. But then that would be too simple eh, the complete opposite of what humans do. If there is not enough red tape wrapped around it, our powers to be truly are not happy, and sleeping well at night  .... I am sure most of you can list a million reasons why that would fail, but just on paper means nothing, how do we know if it has never been in place? I recall an old bible story of the king who built a tower towards heaven an attempted to shoot an arrow at God. When everybody woke up, they all spoke a different language. If I was a betting man, I would bet that is where the red tape first got rolled out, rof  ..... Edited by Silverhawk74

The flaws with a single currency aren't just on paper, they are as real as the Euro. The problem is, a single currency makes it more difficult to manage the economy with monetary policy. The German economy is doing great, but Greece isn't. When they had seperate currencies, Germany would tighten the money supply, and Greece would ease on it. But with just one currency what should the ECB do? Raise rates or lower them?
Can you imagine a situation where China is growing fast and facing rapid inflation, and the US is facing a recession? In a one world currency managed by IMF/World Bank all monetary policy solutions to the two problems would be out the window, and problems for both the countries will be exacerbated. Okay that one's still on paper but it's the same as the above situation.

I think BH1964 is right,Greece was downgraded to junk bond territory today and looks like theyll need another bailout from the European union (which will hurt the euro).
this makes the dollar look a lot better

The 200 day moving average for silver is $28. Just starting to show signs of levelling out. For gold, that is $1,360.
