Silver was showing a bit more pluck than Gold shortly after midnight Tuesday EDT, resisting the exhortations of sellers to simply roll over.  A midpoint support nearby at 23.980 beckoned nonetheless, but that would likely be the worst of it if bids are pulled to bring prices down.  For your information, and to be prepared for the unlikely, the ‘d’ target associated with that midpoint is 23.450.  ____UPDATE (10:14 a.m. EDT):  Good thing we were ready, since, once silver cracked the midpoint support, it slid all the way down to 23.455, a half-cent from the ‘d’ target given.
