The price of Silver has recently formed a short-term bearish pattern, leaving some investors concerned. Let’s take a look at why silver dropped and see if it presents a buying opportunity.
Silver Price Forecast: Buying Opportunity?
Looking at the five-day span on TradingView, Silver has had a hard time breaking through the $24.50 resistance level.
It looks like Silver could even break down through the $24 level into the $23 range.
Is it time to panic?
#Silver continues to trade sideways forming a bear flag. Since it was not able to breakout higher on a declining dollar, I would expect a sharp decline to $23.50 before it resumes the advance… pic.twitter.com/34pnOWPYjt

Silver’s decline in price is likely correlated with the rise in $DXY (U.S. Dollar Index), which has bounced back recently.
Still, we remain strong on our convictions for a bullish year ahead for Silver.
These dips might even indicate a solid buying opportunity for any investors on the fence about precious metals.

When markets drop, sometimes its best to tune out the noise.
Other times it’s for good reason. Today’s declining silver price does not cause us any long-term concern.
We still expect Silver to break through the $30 level, hitting roughly $34 by the end of 2024.
However, the bearish pattern forming could stick around for another few days.
If we zoom out a little — rather than getting swept in a slight decline — we can see that Silver is largely trending up over a large channel.

Summary
