Downtrend, bounce stalling · RSI 49 · price 60.20
Lower highs and lower lows since the 67.53 peak; recovery capped below a descending lower-high line.
Silver has printed lower highs since the 67.53 late-September peak (62.07, 62.02, 61.85, now the 61.44 monday high), and lows stepped down from the 59.68 prior low to the 58.49 swing low after hawkish FOMC minutes and firm yields. Friday's yield-driven short-covering bounce met rejection at the lower-high trendline. Price has faded back to 60.20, near the 50% fib of the 62.02-58.49 leg and just above the psych 60 handle. Price sits below a flat, converging EMA20/EMA50 pair, and ATR(14) near 580 pips has eased from the late-September expansion, pointing to compression ahead of event risk.
Support: 59.68, 58.49
Resistance: 61.44, 62.05
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 61.44 monday high and the lower-high trendline breaks the descending sequence and exposes the 62.05 lower high
Sustained trade below psych 60 reopens the 59.68 prior low and the 58.49 swing low, extending the lower-low structure
US CPI Wed 14 Oct 12:30 UTC could materially shift this read; Fed's Waller (Tue 07:45 UTC) and 10Y yields near the 5.35% high are the nearer catalysts
Silver has printed a clean lower-high sequence since the 67.53 peak, with the 62 rejection area and the Monday lower high at 61.44 both capping beneath the falling trendline. The short-covering rally off the 58.49 swing low, helped by Friday's yield pullback and constructive Iran headlines, has now retraced to the 50% fib of the 62.07–58.49 leg near 60.26. Price sits below both EMA20 and EMA50, with EMA20 still under EMA50, and ATR(14) near 594 pips is moderately compressed versus the late-September expansion.
Support: 60.00, 59.22, 58.494
Resistance: 61.435, 62.07
What it said to watch
US CPI Wed 14 Oct 12:30 UTC is the main catalyst and could materially shift this read
H4 close below the 60.00 psych level exposes the 59.22 rally base and the 58.49 swing low
H4 close above the 61.44 lower high breaks the falling trendline and reopens the 62 rejection zone
Fed speakers Waller (Tue) and Bowman (Wed) plus 10Y yields near 5.35% could shift the tone before CPI
Lower highs and lower lows since the 67.53 late-September peak.
Silver has printed lower highs and lower lows since the 67.53 peak. The latest leg ran from the 62.02 lower high to a 58.49 swing low after hawkish FOMC minutes. Friday's short-covering bounce, helped by easing yields and the soft Michigan print, retraced past the 61.8% of that leg, but the push stalled at the 61.44 week high near the 78.6% and the lower-highs trendline. Price sits just back above both EMAs, though EMA20 has not crossed back over EMA50, and ATR(14) near 665 pips points to steady rather than compressing ranges.
Support: 60.00, 58.494
Resistance: 61.435, 62.022
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 62.02 lower high would break the lower-highs sequence
Repeated rejection at the 61.44 week high keeps the bounce corrective
Loss of the 60.00 psych pivot re-exposes the 58.49 swing low and the lower-lows trendline
US CPI Wed 12:30 UTC (f/c 0.6% m/m, 3.7% y/y) could materially shift this read
Lower highs from 67.53; failed break below the 60–62 range.
Silver has printed lower highs since the 67.53 top. The latest sequence runs from the 62 rejection to the 61.435 lower high, which sits near the 78.6% retracement of the 62.02→58.49 leg. Last week's drop to the 58.494 2-month low failed to hold. Friday's reversal off a 59.219 higher low, on softer oil and yields, put price back inside the 60–62 range and above EMA20, but price is still capped just under EMA50. ATR(14) near 650 pips is compressed versus the early-window swings, which suggests range conditions into Wednesday's CPI.
Support: 60.00, 59.219, 58.494
Resistance: 61.435, 62.022
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 61.435 lower high breaks the lower-high trendline and exposes the 62 rejection area at 62.02
Failure to hold the 60.00 psych pivot reopens the 59.219 higher low and the 58.494 2-month low
Loss of 58.494 would resume the lower-low sequence and invalidate the false break read
US CPI Wed 14 Oct 12:30 UTC (f/c 0.6% MoM / 3.7% YoY) could materially shift this read; Fed speakers Hammack, Waller and Bowman beforehand
Lower highs since 67.53; 60-62 range with dip to 58.49.
Silver has printed lower highs since the 67.53 peak and has spent two weeks boxed between the 62 cap and the 60.00 psych level. Last week's push to the 58.49 swing low reversed on Friday as easing yields and lower oil lifted the metal. The rebound has reclaimed the fib 61.8 at 60.67 and is pressing the fib 78.6 near 61.27, just under the descending trendline around 61.6. ATR(14) has compressed to roughly 690 pips, and EMA20 is still below EMA50 with no bullish cross yet.
Support: 60.67, 60.00, 58.49
Resistance: 61.27, 61.60, 62.05
What it said to watch
US CPI Wed Oct 14 12:30 UTC (f/c 0.6% m/m, 3.7% y/y) could materially shift this read
H4 close above the 62 cap at 62.05 breaks the lower-high sequence and the trendline
Rejection at the fib 78.6 or trendline with a return below the fib 61.8 keeps the range read intact
Failure to hold the 60.00 psych level reopens the 58.49 swing low
Lower highs from 67.53; 60-62 range with a failed break below 60.
Silver has printed lower highs since the 67.53 late-September peak and spent two weeks in a 60-62 range, with the range cap at 62.07 rejecting twice. The hawkish FOMC minutes drove a break below the 60.00 psych pivot to a 58.49 swing low. Softer oil and yields then lifted price back inside the range, turning the move into a false break so far. Price now sits on the EMA50 (~60.83) and just under the 61.17 bounce high. EMA20 (~60.33) is still below EMA50 but rising, and ATR(14) near 670 pips is compressed versus the late-September expansion.
Support: 60.83, 60.00, 58.494
Resistance: 61.173, 62.07, 63.06
What it said to watch
US CPI Wed Oct 14 12:30 UTC (f/c 3.6% y/y) could materially shift this read
H4 close back below the 60.00 psych pivot negates the false-break read and reopens the 58.49 swing low
Close above the 61.17 bounce high puts the 62.07 range cap and 38.2% fib (~61.95) back in play
Close above 62.07 breaks the lower-high sequence; the 63.06 prior low is the next structural reference
EMA20 crossing above EMA50 would mark the first bullish ema cross since the downturn
Fed speakers Hammack, Waller and Bowman ahead of CPI, and 10y yields vs the 5.35% high
