Silver has just breached $44, last touching $44.10, the same day gold surpassed $1500. Now that silver has cleared $44, we would like to see it hold these gains and close access market trading above $44 to see $45 taken out this week.
If silver can hold $44 here, $45 looks imminent.
Amazingly, many of the silver miners are down today, some off >10% from recent highs. It appears the mining stocks are expecting a large correction in silver at or near $45. If silver can move through $45 without a significant correction, look for silver miners to blast higher as the shorts will have to cover in a panic.
