Silver is under pressure this week from a strong dollar. The Fed’s hawkish stand from this week’s FOMC meeting got metals on the defensive. Currently, silver is at $26.11, up 25 cents. Is that a dead cat bounce? But the chart damage is evident, as seen below on a weekly continuation chart. The bulls will continue to fight to the upside until the Fed actually raises rates. For now, I expect to see sideways to lower price action until the dollar finishes the upside correction. Again, these sideways markets do provide trading opportunities using options.
