INCREDIBLE! Silver just printed 12.20, now surpassing the 50% retracement of its entire BULL market from the 4.01 area to highs near 21.35!

Silver has simply blown out to the downside in what is likely thin trading, with a low of 12.20 so far; be very careful here as these are exceptional market conditions. Just a guess, but I would not be surprised if a hedge fund is blowing out of positions.

Note that while gold is no where close to a 38% correction (near 738) of its entire BULL market from the 1999-2001 lows, silver has now gone below its 50% retracement. It is amazing silver is already at these levels; I expect a wild night (understatement of the year?). I may be back again several times as I am glued to my computer!

Note that GOLD so far is just below 800 and obviously testing important 770-800 support. I am wondering if silver is going to perhaps make a final blowout low tonight. There is NO way I can offer you any suggestions here, as it is simply too dangerous, but this is simply well, well beyond the bounds of anything that I would even consider volatile. This is a once every 5 or 10 year type of market in silver right now!

The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International’s market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.
