SLV trade ideas
SLV GapsAMEX:SLV As SLV works it way through its levels the best support and resistance could be a Fibonacci. It is important to note that throughout the summer as SLV had approached these levels leading up to the swing high it gapped up above all the levels except .382. I'm unsure why it has seen so many large jumps in price but it could be forming a double bottom at 20.51 and move back up next week to chase fills on some of these untouched areas.
OPENING (IRA): SLV NOVEMBER 6TH 19 SHORT PUT... for a .37/contract credit.
Notes: Now that I look at it, the weeklies are super liquid. With 30-day at 47.8%, selling the strike nearest the 16 delta/45 days until expiry. That .37 ($37) doesn't seem like much, but as a function of notional risk, it's 1.99% ROC at max/17.3% annualized as a function of notional risk.
Full position is the November 6th 19P, November 20th 21P, November 20th 18P.
Break Even: 18.63
OPENING (IRA): SLV NOVEMBER 20TH 18 SHORT PUT... for a .46/contract credit.
Notes: 30-day at 52% with expiry-specific implied at 55.4%. Adding to my SLV (See Post Below) to establish a precious metals position in my IRA that is more scalable than GLD. I'd ordinarily ladder out here, but there's no December monthly.
Break even: 17.54.
SLV - one possible wave countDear EW experts, please chime in with your insights for our members here. The count since the July take-off seems reasonable to me as one scenario. Appreciate everyone's feedback/insights.

silver at critical level 61.8 FB retracement level. if this level hold it would be the completion of the wave 2 since the take-off.
SLV support at 20.96 (61.8% of the FB retracement, wave 2 correction normally would end at around 60% retracement)

This represents a serious breakdown for silver (SLV)As I expect many others have commented on, this breakdown from the consolidating triangle bodes ill and represents the correction and reversion to mean I've been expecting in precious metals. I am still very bullish long-term but please watch the cup and handle pattern in gold to ensure it sticks, otherwise something more serious is afoot. What worry's me also is the shortness of the tail so I definitely expect this to fall further!
$SLV - Pennant on Daily Resolved Bearish ! Headed Much Lower !As we can see from the above daily chart of the Silver ETF, the nail biting pennant that has formed over the past few weeks and kept us all on the edge of our seat - along with GLD - has resolved bearish with todays move. Target is $18 - $19.
SLV - CoilingSilver is coiling and I think we will see a very nice risk reward of about 3:1 here very soon. The MACD is gaining some good momentum in positive territory and the RSI is in a good entry point range. The 50 Day MA is coming up right to the price point and I expect it to hold as support as we've seen across the market (so far). This entire setup relys on confirmation and a retest of the upper trend line. Everything could go either way right now.
Hi Ho Silver, we go like this till we go up!As you can see on the tremendous chart, silver will go and do things before it goes on a tremendous rocket ride.
Some little gap resitances and supports being seen on the different time frames.
Overall bigger picture is a symmetrical triangle which should resolve bullishly based on the SLV/GLD ratio chart.
In the shorter term we may follow roughly follow the yellow line into some of the gap candle resistances on different time frames.
Upper spot which the yellow path I've drawn hits comes into a moving average at the same time, then back down into our triangle before we resolve to a grind upwards out of September before final rocket up.
I haven't posted the SLV/GLD ratio, but I guess I should to show that the timeframes are in alignment for the bull run.
OPENING (IRA): SLV NOVEMBER 20TH 21 SHORT PUT... for a .43/contract credit.
Notes: The highest background implied on the board in my options liquid exchange-traded funds at the moment, with 30-day at 51.93%. I'm viewing this as a starter position to replace my GLD for exposure to precious metals, since the implied is generally higher, so you get more bang for your buck. There is no December currently, so just doing a "one rung" here. 2.09% ROC at max; 11.56% annualized. A similarly delta'd GLD short put in the same cycle: .871% ROC at max; 4.82% annualized. This is due to GLD's lower implied at 20.8% (30-day).
