Last week with silver @ $22.35 spot I suggested the metal was getting ready for a pop. We got the initial move back into the yellow box but price got stuck at $23.50; but I still think silver will make it to the top of the box as then suggested. The 4 hour chart below is an update, with the addition of yet another box in grey to depict a further area of congestion bulls are currently fighting through.

Notice bulls are holding support in the $22.90 area, at the bottom of the box.

Now that the minutiae of support and resistance is expressed – A zoomed out, less cluttered view of the weekly intervals should further illustrate why I think silver will get to the top of the box, and why I think the metal can move much higher if breaks out.

In my opinion the probability remains that stochastic RSI will cycle to overbought levels (and possibly stay there) as price tests the top Bollinger band, which corresponds to an initial move (often back tested) above the descending trendline.

Jonathan Da Silva developed a passion for hard money and economics from a young age having been influenced by family who sought to teach me that "nothing is free", and the importance of intrinsic value early on. My interest in markets grew keener during the great financial crisis of 2008; leaning on family with vast trading experience, I began to self-educate on technical analysis and economics- drawing inspiration from the works of individuals like W.D. Gann and Adam Smith. I have been a proud member of the Kitco team since 2017 and hope that my writing inspires readers to consider an objective view of the metals, and the greater financial markets.
