Double Top In Silver ETFs

Both of the most active silver etfs SLV and SIVR made a double top today. The high on SLV was 24.42 which was exactly the all time high, same with SIVR which reached 24.88 which was the all time high set a couple weeks ago.

The futures actually went to a new contract high early this morning before failing. When a contract goes to a new all time high and then fails I always called this the "Kiss Of Death Trade" because it is deadly accurate. Paul Tudor Jones used to love this trade where the professionals would push to new contract highs, triggering all the "Buy Stops" and then use that volume to establish short positions.

The way to trade this is to go short with a stop above today's high. If the market takes out the high today, odds are the trade is no good. I'm choosing to use the Short Silver ETF ZSL instead with a sell stop below today's low.

The beauty of the Kiss Of Death type trade is that the risk is normally quite small and if the trade turns out the gains are normally HUGE!
