Here&rsquo;s an update on my analysis on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/category\/commodities\/silver\/\" target=\"_blank\">silver<\/a>.&nbsp;From my&nbsp;last post (kindly check <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/2011\/01\/10\/silver-breaks-down-from-its-immediate-uptrend\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>), silver broke down from its 5-month uptrend. The price of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/category\/commodities\/gold\" target=\"_blank\">gold<\/a> along with other precious metals dropped as well. One reason is profit  taking. In my opinion, another reason is&hellip; With the current fiscal  situation in the US results to a weaker <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/category\/forex\/us-dollar-index\/\" target=\"_blank\">US dollar<\/a>.  Thus, alternative investments rise such as precious metals and we can  see this with the recent run when gold, silver and copper hit all-time  high. When these commodities rise, it reinforces the US dollar to drop  lower. As a result, the more the US currency value declines, the more  their government debt from other country increases.&nbsp;Of course, they  don&rsquo;t want that that to happen so the US government tries to stabilize  their currency.<\/p>\n<p>In my technical perspective, after silver broke down from its 5-month <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/chart-patterns\/uptrend\" target=\"_blank\">uptrend<\/a>, it tried to head back up but failed. In the process, it seemed to have completed the right shoulder of the a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/chart-patterns\/inverted-head-and-shoulders\/\" target=\"_blank\">head and shoulders formation<\/a> and is on the verge of breaking down from the said pattern. The  neckline around the 28.30 area is being tested and the 28.00 level are  showing signs of heavy buying pressure. However, silver is now moving  below the 14 and 50-period moving average that could add to an easier  break below the 28.00 price mark. This could bring its price all the way  to the next support at 26.50. If more weakness is shown, a drop to the  next support at 25.00 could be hasty. On the bull side, a successful  move pass above its immediate downtrend could indicated a trek back  north. After that, the next resistance could be 30.00.<\/p>\n<p>More on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.laidtrades.com\/\">LaidTrades.com<\/a> &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello commodity peeps!
