Yes.
The amount of aggression in selling vs buying in the SI futures
since 5/30 is -12,000 contracts vs the 1st swing low on 5/6 @ -4K contracts.
It's something I've been watching, while it doesn't provide a certain outcome it does increase the probability that a "thin"
area between 31.000 and 32.340 will be tested.
Whether or not price is rejected THROUGH that area or OFF that area no one knows.
The area to watch below is 30.8 down through 28.385.
There is no rush to buy silver. The 1 minute chart has to turn before the 5 minute, before the hourly, before the daily.
No one in here is intraday trading silver futures I would imagine. You'll be much better off buying the green upticks than fading the red down ticks.
as a side note I recommend APMEX for buying and selling physical. I've bought and sold ~280lbs of bulk silver coins from them (1 buy 1 sell).
They paid me my monies, had no issue, except the bitch of it was packaging it up in registered mail boxes (also you have to pay for shipping back to them, but not to you, cost about 1K but took a lot of time and frustration and obv dealing with the post office...
).
GL.
PS The aggressive selling seen in silver is the
opposite in gold. Not quite as aggressive but the buying is there.
Certainly this doesn't guarantee you to have a winning trade long gold, just an observation from the futures market
