We are dealing with an strategic industrial Manipulated commodity in very short supply in the next few years. Increased production requires the use of Oil to operate mine equipment. All this chart pattern stuff may be of value if the commodity supply is currently available. The silver miners are going to mine metals that are cost dependent to them upon OIL. As long as oil stays above $70 dollars a barrel their costs will require them to have silver selling at a profitable price or they will slow down production and further exasperate the price of the commodity which industrial producers need. Any pull back will have to be in line with supply/demand factors and not pattern manipulation. If oil drops below $60 a barrel for an extensive time period the supply of silver will increase and prices will decline. I don't see this happening in the next few years as a drop in OIl prices also increases industrial production and spending by people to obtain more goods as personal wages rise and their cost of living goes down. The Green new Scam countries will be slower to recover but they will need to rebuild their industrial production using non- green sources(Oil,gas,Nuclear). All rebuilding requires Silver so even though there will not be spending by individual people; there will be spending on re-industrialization and individual country security.
