Kitco NEWS Gary Wagner: Silver’s 'Liquidation Event' Tested $71 Support - Here is What Happens Next
Spot silver witnessed a massive liquidation event today, plunging double-digits and testing critical structural support in the low $70s. In this exclusive technical breakdown, Gary Wagner, Editor of The Gold Forecast, joins Jeremy Szafron to analyze the damage.
Wagner identifies the $71 level as the "line in the sand" that must hold to keep the bull trend alive. He explains the massive divergence between silver’s volatility and gold’s relative strength, describing silver as "a candle that burns twice as bright but burns half as long." Despite the carnage, Wagner maintains his bullish outlook, updating his year-end gold price target to a potential $6,000.
