Silver does look bullish long-term, IMO, but that doesn’t make it impervious to short-term (days to weeks) & intermediate-term (weeks to months) corrections within a larger bull market. The best means of identifying when those corrections are likely to come in order to manage long-term positions (i.e.- not add to them at the wrong time, set stops, and/or book profits to side-step the corrections along the way) as well as to profit from both the primary & counter-trend waves within the larger trend by swing trading is to rely on the charts.
I’m not sure what you mean by the long-term technicals ‘muting the severity of the short-term technicals’ since at this point, we still don’t have much in the way of sell signals or evidence of a trend reversal other than that 60-minute trendline break & reversal off the key 26ish long-term resistance level, which is certainly a start. Next near-term sell signal will come on a break below the 22.565 support on /SI although another push back up to the 26ish resistance would also provide another objective short entry with the appropriate stops somewhat above.
I guess the answer is that there are no guarantees that the potentially bearish developments that I’ve pointed out will play out for a decent pullback in silver & those mining stocks but the profit potential if I am correct, seems to outweigh the risk of loss if using appropriate stops.

Its all about the technicals, the news will follow.

The volume buzz for ZSL is 2100% today! With that many shorts it is only setting up for another big rally. It is a bull market so the correction maybe over? It was a big move from the top back to support. I’m long right now with AGQ.
