Silver vs Gold….Who is winning the battle? In the last couple of days, I am hearing how Silver is winning more than Gold. In another words, Silver is going up higher percentage basis compared to Gold. People are also stating that this occurs in Bull market. Let’s evaluate to see if this is really true.

Price is below the cloud so the sentiment is bearish. You have a big green bullish bar this week which is indicating that Silver has gotten stronger this week but it is hitting a major resistance right now i.e. green line. The long term view is that Gold is still stronger than Silver.
