Silver has hit a support level and might even try to rebound a bit, but considering all the factors, like the recent COT report and retail traders activity, there's no way it's going to have any serious growth.

Let me illustrate this on the chart. Imagine you're looking at the chart on June 06, and there's nothing to the right (just cover it up with your hand or a piece of paper). You see a big...
