After peaking twice just south of $16, the price of silver has started to back off.
The precious metal put in a stellar performance in the two months between early November and early January, climbing from $14 to almost $16.
That was a powerful 14.3% move. Now, we're starting to see some traders take profits and even rotate back into stocks which have turned higher in the last three weeks.

Silver managed to hold above $15.50 until Friday, then sold off as the DXY rallied from near 96 to 96.4 that morning.
Here's a look at the DXY chart:
That was enough to beat silver prices back from $15.50 to Friday's close at $15.31.
Then on Monday, the silver price drifted lower to close the shortened trading day at $15.15. But dollar volatility and a host of warnings emanating from the Davos World Economic Forum pushed stocks back, allowing for a small reprieve in silver to the $15.30 level.
