Technical Analyst Clive Maund reviews Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. (SM:TSX.V; SMDRF:OTCQX) to explain why he believes it is a Strong Buy.

Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. (SM:TSX.V; SMDRF:OTCQX)

Looking at the charts, we will quickly see that the rapidly improving outlook for Sierra Madre Gold and Silver Ltd. (SM:TSX.V; SMDRF:OTCQX) against the background of an improving outlook for the sector has already translated into the vigorous uptrend that we can see to advantage in the 3-month chart below.

This chart requires little explanation — everything about it is bullish — the fine steady uptrend, the strong upside volume driving the advance resulting in a climbing Accumulation line, the positive momentum (MACD), and the cross of the moving averages into bullish alignment last month. The "cherry on the cake" for investors here is that the price has just reacted back across the channel to its lower rail, where it put in a bullish "dragonfly doji" candle on the 11th, which is a sign that it is reversing back to the upside. The larger uptrend shown on this chart remains very much in force and is expected to reassert itself soon and very possibly accelerate for reasons that will become clear when we look at the 1-year chart.

The 1-year chart shows nearly all of the action since Sierra Madre started trading again in early June of last year. The persistent downtrend from where it resumed trading through the balance of last year and into the Spring of this year was largely due to the sector remaining stuck "in the doldrums" and continuing to drift gently lower overall until late February of this year. Then it came to life early in April about a month after the sector started strongly higher and made up for lost time with a vigorous advance that has been followed by a normal reaction back across the channel to support. A catalyst that led to the stock briefly breaking above the important resistance in the CA$0.48 – CA$0.50 zone a couple of weeks ago was the news that the company has been granted some important environmental permitting.

Although there was some profit taking on the minor spike resulting from this news that beat it back below this zone, this initial foray above this resistance is viewed as a bullish development, and it is expected to break above this resistance again and stay above it in due course. Before leaving this chart, observe how the strongly uptrending On-balance Volume line over the past year "gave the game way" as it presaged the breakout into a new bull market.

We will end by taking a brief look at the 52-month (4-year 6-month) chart, which, although technically of little use because Sierra Madre evidently went through some sort of major restructuring during roughly the second half of 2022 and the first half of 2023, at least gives us an idea of the history of the stock.

Because of this restructuring and associated changes of share ownership the trading that took place at higher levels in 2021 is thought unlikely to generate any significant resistance to impede the stock's advance, so that for practical purposes it should have little trouble getting above and staying above its highs of the past year, especially because, as mentioned above, its recent volume pattern has been so strong.

The conclusion is that Sierra Madre Gold & Silver is in a vigorous bull market that is set to continue and accelerate for the reasons set out here, and it is therefore rated a Strong Buy.
