Summary

Yesterday saw the market open on a positive note, and then churn across the day, settling moderately higher. S/t momentum settled on the moderately high side.

Overnight futures have been very subdued, we’re set to open broadly flat. The s/t cyclical setup favours the bears, but daily momentum is due to turn positive, and offers net upside to break a new historic high, if not until after Santa delivers.

Yours truly is merely antsy to get back onboard the silver train.

There were a fair number of black (daily) candles yesterday, suggestive that we see main market net cooling into the Wed’ 1pm close.
