Post-Fed whipsaw, now compressing · RSI 50 · price 53.846

Tight 53.75–53.99 range after rejection of 54.605 spike high.

The in-line Fed hold and presser whipsawed silver from the 53.30 fed low to the 54.605 fed high, and the spike high was rejected within the hour. Price has since compressed in a 53.75–53.99 range into the early Asia session, near the 61.8% retrace of the post-Fed swing, with lower highs below the fed high and RSI(14) flat at 50.

Support: 53.752, 53.47, 53.296

Resistance: 53.99, 54.338, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 53.75 range low exposes the 53.47 pre-Fed low, then the 53.30 Fed low
  • M15 close above the 53.99 range high breaks the lower-highs line and reopens the 54.34 prior high
  • Post-presser Fedspeak headlines during Asia hours could break the range
  • Thu 12:30 UTC core PCE (f/c 0.3% m/m, 3.1% y/y) and Q3 GDP are the next scheduled catalyst

23:32 UTC

Range after post-FOMC whipsaw · RSI 48 · price 53.852

Post-Fed swing 53.296–54.605, tight early-Asia range inside it.

The Fed hold and Warsh presser whipsawed silver during NY hours. It made a false break below the 53.472 pre-fed low to the 53.296 fomc low, then spiked to the 54.605 post-fed high before fading. Early Asia session is compressing between the 53.752 asian low and 54.052 asian high, near the 61.8% post-fed fib at ~53.80, with RSI(14) neutral around 48.

Support: 53.752, 53.472, 53.296

Resistance: 54.052, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • Loss of the 53.752 asian low exposes the 53.472 pre-fed low, then the 53.296 fomc low
  • M15 close above the 54.052 asian high reopens the 54.605 post-fed high
  • Thu 12:30 GMT core PCE / Q3 GDP (f/c 0.3% m/m, 3.1% y/y) is the next catalyst likely to break this range

23:18 UTC

Two-way after FOMC, compressing · RSI 55 · price 53.965

Post-presser lower highs inside the 53.30–54.61 FOMC range.

The Fed hold was priced. The presser swept the 53.47 pre-Fed low to a 53.296 FOMC low, then spiked to 54.605, where it met rejection at the post-Fed high. The USD softened, but silver has not held the spike. Early Asia now compresses between the 53.752 Asia low and a 54.057 lower high, with price sitting on the 50% retracement of the FOMC swing.

Support: 53.752, 53.47, 53.296

Resistance: 54.057, 54.338, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 54.057 lower high breaks the compression and brings the 54.338 NY high back into play
  • Failure to hold the 53.752 Asia low (near the 61.8% of the FOMC swing) exposes the 53.47 pre-Fed low and the 53.296 FOMC low
  • Another rejection below the 54.605 post-Fed high keeps the lower-high sequence intact
  • Core PCE and Q3 GDP Thu 12:30 UTC (~13h) could materially shift this read

23:04 UTC

Post-FOMC chop, intraday lower lows · RSI 46 · price 53.801

Whipsaw range 53.30–54.61, compressing near 53.80.

The FOMC presser whipsawed silver between the 53.30 fomc low and the 54.61 fomc spike, which was rejected within the hour. The new Asia session has compressed around 53.80, the 61.8% of the post-FOMC fib, with the 53.75 session low and 53.47 ny lows below and the 54.05 session high capping. ATR is still inflated by the presser bars.

Support: 53.752, 53.472, 53.296

Resistance: 54.052, 54.338, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 53.75 session low exposes the 53.47 ny lows, then the 53.30 fomc low
  • Close above the 54.05 session high reopens the 54.34 ny high and the 54.61 fomc spike
  • Core PCE and Q3 GDP Thu 12:30 UTC (~13h) could materially shift this read

22:48 UTC

Post-FOMC whipsaw, drifting lower into Asia · RSI 49 · price 53.778

Wide 53.30–54.61 FOMC range, price mid-range below flat EMAs.

The in-line Fed hold set off a two-way NY session whipsaw. Price swept the 53.47 pre-FOMC low to 53.30, then spiked to 54.61 on the softer post-presser USD, and that spike was rejected within the hour. Early Asia is drifting toward the 53.75 session low at the 61.8% retrace of the FOMC swing, below a flat EMA20/50 near 53.85, with RSI(14) neutral at 49.

Support: 53.752, 53.47, 53.296

Resistance: 54.052, 54.338, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • Break of the 53.75 session low and the 61.8% fib exposes the 53.47 pre-FOMC low, then the 53.30 FOMC low
  • Recovery above the 54.05 session high reopens the 54.34 london high and the 54.61 fomc spike
  • Thu 12:30 GMT core PCE / Q3 GDP (~14h) could materially shift this read

22:33 UTC

Post-FOMC whipsaw, momentum neutral · RSI 52 · price 53.799

Two-sided sweep; mid-range at 61.8% of FOMC swing.

The Fed hold whipsawed silver. The presser bar swept the pre-fed low at 53.47 down to the fomc low at 53.296, then spiked to the fomc high at 54.605, which was rejected despite the softer USD. Price now sits on the 61.8% of that post-fed fib near 53.80 and on EMA20/50, with the post-fed cap at 54.05 overhead and the new session low at 53.75 just below. RSI(14) is neutral at 52.

Support: 53.752, 53.47, 53.296

Resistance: 54.05, 54.33, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 53.75 session low exposes the 53.47 pre-fed low, with the fomc low at 53.296 behind it
  • Acceptance above the 54.05 post-fed cap reopens the 54.33 prior high and the 54.605 fomc high
  • Thu 12:30 UTC core PCE (f/c 0.3% MoM / 3.1% YoY) and Q3 GDP could materially shift this read
  • ATR near 310 pips post-Fed; expect contraction during the Asia session

22:18 UTC

Two-way after FOMC, directionless · RSI 53 · price 53.965

Mid-range pause between post-FOMC sweep low and failed high.

The FOMC presser bar swept the 53.47 pre-fed low to 53.30 (the fomc low). Warsh's 'tightening is working' line softened the USD and drove a squeeze through the Asian high to the 54.60 fomc high. That push failed as a false break and fell back to the 53.79 pullback low. Early Asia is now flat near 53.96, the 50% retrace of the post-Fed swing, with RSI(14) neutral and ATR(14) elevated around 360 pips.

Support: 53.79, 53.47, 53.30

Resistance: 54.06, 54.34, 54.60

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 53.79 pullback low exposes the 53.47 pre-fed low, then the 53.30 fomc low
  • M15 close above the 54.06 minor high reopens the 54.34 pre-fed high, with the 54.60 fomc high capping the post-Fed range
  • Thin early-Asia liquidity after the daily break keeps price inside 53.79–54.06 until one side gives
  • Thu 12:30 GMT core PCE and Q3 GDP (~14h) could materially shift this read

22:06 UTC

Post-FOMC whipsaw, mid-range · RSI 56 · price 54.038

Higher lows off 53.30 after rejection at 54.61.

The FOMC decision swept the 53.47 pre-fed low down to a 53.30 fed low. Price then ran to a 54.61 presser high as the USD eased on Warsh's 'tightening is working' line, and was rejected there inside the 54.55–55.00 zone that has capped this week's rebounds. The new session opened near the 50% retrace of the post-Fed leg, with post-Fed higher lows intact above the 53.79 swing low. Overhead sit the 54.10 38.2% fib and the 54.34 prior high, and ATR has expanded to ~275 pips.

Support: 53.792, 53.47, 53.296

Resistance: 54.105, 54.338, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • Close below the 53.79 swing low breaks the post-Fed higher lows and exposes the 53.47 pre-fed low, then the 53.30 fed low
  • Acceptance above the 54.10 38.2% fib and 54.34 prior high reopens the 54.61 presser high
  • Thu 29 Oct 12:30 GMT core PCE / Q3 GDP could materially shift this read

21:47 UTC

Post-FOMC whipsaw, no clean direction · RSI 55 · price 53.957

Wide range 53.30–54.61 after the Fed presser, price mid-range.

Warsh's presser after the in-line Fed hold whipsawed silver. Price swept the pre-Fed low at 53.475 to a 53.296 Fed low, then broke above the NY high at 54.338 to a 54.605 post-Fed high. That break failed within one bar, and price now sits near the 50% of the post-Fed swing around 53.95, holding a 53.79 swing low with RSI neutral near 55.

Support: 53.792, 53.475, 53.296

Resistance: 54.338, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 53.79 swing low reopens the pre-fed low at 53.475
  • A close back above the ny high at 54.338 turns the false break into a retest of the 54.605 post-fed hi
  • A break below the 53.296 fed low takes out the whole post-presser range
  • Thu 12:30 UTC core PCE/GDP is the next scheduled driver; thin after-hours trade until then
  • ATR near 300 pips means post-Fed swings are still outsized versus the Asia session

21:33 UTC

Post-FOMC whipsaw, momentum neutral · RSI 54 · price 53.957

Wide post-Fed range 53.30–54.61; spike above Asian high rejected, pullback holding 61.8%.

After a double low near the 53.47 NY low, Warsh's 'tightening is working' presser softened the USD. Silver whipsawed from the 53.30 Fed low, then swept the 54.516 Asian high to a 54.605 Fed high and was rejected. Price is now pivoting on the 50% retracement near 53.95, with the 53.79 swing low aligned with the 61.8% level, and ATR(14) has expanded to roughly 360 pips.

Support: 53.792, 53.472, 53.296

Resistance: 54.338, 54.516, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 53.79 swing low (61.8%) reopens the 53.47 NY low
  • Recovery through the 54.34 swing high puts the 54.516 Asian high and 54.605 Fed high back in focus
  • Thu 12:30 UTC core PCE / Q3 GDP cluster could materially shift this read

21:17 UTC

Two-way, post-FOMC whipsaw after a lower-high day · RSI 55 · price 53.957

Wide post-Fed range 53.30–54.61, price at its midpoint.

Silver lost the 53.47 NY low to 53.30 during the Warsh presser, then reversed sharply as USD softened. The rally ran through the 54.34 NY high to a 54.605 Fed high and was rejected just above the Asian high. The pullback held 53.79, the 61.8% of the post-Fed fib, and price now sits near the 50% level late in NY with RSI(14) at 55 and ATR(14) near 287 pips.

Support: 53.792, 53.47, 53.296

Resistance: 54.338, 54.516, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • Loss of the 53.79 pullback low reopens the 53.47 NY low and the 53.30 FOMC low
  • M15 close above the 54.34 NY high puts the 54.52 Asian high and the 54.605 Fed high back in play
  • Thu 12:30 GMT core PCE / Q3 GDP could materially shift this read

Post-FOMC whipsaw, rebound fading · RSI 54 · price 53.957

Wide 53.30–54.60 post-Fed range; spike high rejected, higher low at 53.79.

The Fed held at 4% as expected. The presser whipsawed silver to a 53.30 fed low, then a USD-softening rally on Warsh's 'tightening is working' line pushed through the 54.34 NY high to a 54.60 spike high before a sharp rejection. Price now sits at the 50% post-Fed fib near 53.96, with the 61.8% aligned with the 53.79 swing low. ATR is about 340 pips, so post-Fed swings remain outsized into the Asia session.

Support: 53.79, 53.47, 53.296

Resistance: 54.338, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 53.79 swing low (61.8% fib) exposes the 53.47 NY low and the 53.30 fed low
  • Reclaim and hold above the 54.34 NY high puts the 54.60 spike high back in play and weakens the false-break read
  • Thu 12:30 UTC core PCE/GDP cluster (~15.5h) is the next scheduled catalyst; a soft print vs 0.3% MoM could reshape this range
  • Late-session FOMC headline drift in thin Asia trade can extend the wide-range whipsaw

20:47 UTC

Post-FOMC two-way whipsaw, settling mid-range · RSI 55 · price 53.992

Wide range 53.30–54.60 after a sweep of both sides; price pinned near the 50% retrace.

The Fed hold and hawkish-leaning statement whipsawed silver in late NY hours. Price swept to the 53.296 fomc low, then pushed through the 54.516 asian high to a 54.605 fomc high that was rejected within a bar. Price is now back near 54.00 at the 50% retrace, with the 53.79 pullback low holding at the 61.8%. RSI(14) is neutral at ~55 and ATR(14) has expanded to ~290 pips.

Support: 53.79, 53.47, 53.296

Resistance: 54.33, 54.516, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 53.79 pullback low breaks the 61.8% and reopens the 53.47 swing low
  • Acceptance above the 54.33 swing high puts the 54.516 asian high and 54.605 fomc high back in play
  • Loss of the 53.296 fomc low would turn the post-Fed sweep into a fresh session low
  • Live FOMC presser headlines and Thu 12:30 UTC core PCE/GDP could materially shift this read

20:32 UTC

Choppy, post-FOMC whipsaw · RSI 51 · price 53.812

Post-Fed spike rejected, back inside pre-Fed range.

The in-line Fed hold and press conference swept the session low to 53.296 and then spiked to 54.605, above the NY high at 54.338, but the move above 54.27 was rejected within two bars. Price is back near 53.81, sitting on the 61.8% fib of the post-Fed swing, inside the pre-Fed 53.47–53.90 range, with RSI(14) neutral and both EMAs flat.

Support: 53.796, 53.472, 53.296

Resistance: 53.898, 54.338, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • M15 close back above the 53.90 range top reopens the NY high at 54.338 and the 54.605 post-Fed high
  • Failure to hold the 61.8% fib at 53.80 exposes the 53.47 session low, then the 53.296 post-Fed low
  • Press conference headlines are still live; ATR of ~315 pips means 30-cent swings are routine for now
  • Thu 12:30 GMT core PCE (f/c 0.3% MoM / 3.1% YoY) and GDP could break the range in either direction

20:17 UTC

Intraday downtrend interrupted by sharp post-FOMC reversal · RSI 60 · price 54.255

Sweep of 53.47 lows to 53.296, then higher high at 54.605 above the 54.338 prior high; now pulling back.

Warsh's press conference after the 4% hold whipsawed silver. The 18:30 bar broke below the 53.47 NY lows to the 53.296 fomc low, and that break failed. The late-NY rally then cleared the 54.338 prior high and was rejected at the 54.605 session high, inside the 54.55–54.60 area that has capped this week's rebounds. Price is holding above the 54.18 pullback low, with RSI(14) near 60 and ATR(14) about 310 pips.

Support: 54.183, 53.88, 53.296

Resistance: 54.338, 54.605

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 54.18 pullback low exposes the 53.95 fib 50% and the 53.88 breakout base
  • Acceptance above the 54.605 session high puts price into the 54.55–55.00 zone that capped this week's rebounds
  • Loss of the 53.296 fomc low would negate the post-presser reversal
  • Presser headlines are still live; Thu 12:30 GMT core PCE/GDP could materially shift this read

20:04 UTC

Sharp intraday rebound off post-FOMC low · RSI 64 · price 54.429

Sweep of afternoon lows, then higher lows and a break above the 54.338 swing high, pressing the Asian high.

The Fed's in-line hold at 4% set off a sweep of the 53.47 afternoon lows to a 53.296 FOMC low. The FOMC rally then cleared the 54.338 swing high during the presser, and price now sits just under the 54.516 Asian high. RSI(14) is near 64, and ATR has expanded to about 300 pips on the decision-driven swings.

Support: 54.338, 53.834, 53.296

Resistance: 54.516, 55.00

What it said to watch

  • A close above the 54.516 asian high brings the 54.55–55.00 round number zone into play; that zone capped this week's rebounds

  • Loss of the post-FOMC lows trendline and the 53.834 breakout bar low reopens the 53.296 FOMC low
  • The Warsh presser is live now, and Thu 12:30 GMT core PCE/GDP could materially shift this read

Intraday downtrend, post-Fed whipsaw · RSI 50 · price 53.885

Lower highs and lower lows since Asia; price back inside the 53.47–53.90 range after an FOMC false break.

Lower highs from the 54.52 Asia high carried into the Fed hold. The presser whipsaw spiked into the lower-highs trendline at 54.27 and swept to a 53.30 post-Fed low before reclaiming the 53.47 range low. Late in the NY session, price sits at the 53.90 range top between the 50% and 61.8% fib of the 54.34–53.30 drop, with RSI(14) neutral near 50 and ATR expanded to about 271 pips.

Support: 53.47, 53.296

Resistance: 53.90, 54.271

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 53.90 range top puts the 54.27 spike high and the lower-highs trendline back in play

Downtrend, post-FOMC whipsaw · RSI 52 · price 53.781

Lower highs and lower lows; wide post-presser range 53.30–54.27.

Silver lost the Asian low in London and the 53.47 pre-fomc low in NY. The Warsh presser then swept to a 53.30 fomc low before spiking to a 54.27 presser high, which was capped at the lower-highs line under the 54.34 session high. Late in the NY session price sits near the 50% retracement around 53.82, below the 53.94 lower high, with ATR blown out to ~275 pips.

Resistance: 53.937, 54.271, 54.338

  • Close above the 54.27 presser high and 54.34 session high breaks the lower-highs line

Downtrend, FOMC whipsaw · RSI 52 · price 53.823

Lower highs from 54.516 intact, wide two-way presser range.

Late NY session. The Fed held at 4% as expected, and the press conference then whipsawed silver between a 53.296 fomc low and a 54.271 fomc high. The spike was rejected at the lower-highs trendline. Price is back near 53.82, the 50% retracement of the 54.338–53.296 drop, holding above the 53.475 range floor but capped by the 53.937 lower high.

Support: 53.475, 53.296

Resistance: 53.937, 54.271

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 53.937 lower high reopens the 54.271 fomc high and the lower-highs trendline
  • Failure to hold the 53.475 range floor exposes the 53.296 fomc low and extends the lower-low chain
  • FOMC presser tone remains live; Thu 12:30 GMT core PCE / Q3 GDP could materially shift this read
  • ATR(14) near 270 pips after the presser spike; bar ranges likely stay elevated

19:04 UTC

Downtrend, FOMC whipsaw · RSI 43 · price 53.493

Lower highs and lower lows; presser bar swept both sides and faded.

Silver kept printing lower highs through London and NY. It slid from the 54.34 NY high to the 53.47 swing low ahead of the in-line Fed hold. The presser bar swept to a 53.30 fomc low, then spiked to a 54.27 fomc spike into the lower-highs line, and gave the whole move back; price is pinned near 53.47–53.50 with RSI(14) at 43.

Support: 53.47, 53.296, 53.00

Resistance: 53.90, 54.271, 54.338

What it said to watch

  • M15 close below the 53.47 swing low and the 53.30 fomc low confirms a fresh lower-low, exposing 53.00 psych
  • Reclaim of the 53.90 minor high (61.8% fib zone) needed to soften the downtrend read; fomc spike 54.27 and ny high 54.34 sit above
  • Lower-highs line rejected the presser spike; a hold above it changes the structure
  • FOMC press conference still live, and Thu 12:30 GMT core PCE/GDP could materially shift this read

18:48 UTC

Intraday downtrend, volatile FOMC reversal · RSI 56 · price 53.885

Lower highs from session high; false break below NY low.

Silver broke below the 53.47 NY low into the as-expected Fed hold and printed a 53.296 fed low. The 18:30 UTC presser bar then reversed it to the 54.271 presser high and closed near 53.97, leaving the break below 53.47 as a false break. Price now sits near the 61.8% retrace of the session high-to-fed low fib, with RSI(14) back around 56 and the presser high capping the spike, still below the 54.338 session high.

Support: 53.47, 53.296

Resistance: 54.271, 54.338

What it said to watch

  • An M15 close back below the 53.47 ny low would cancel the false break and put the 53.296 fed low back in play
  • An M15 close above the 54.271 presser high opens the 54.338 session high and breaks the lower-high sequence
  • The FOMC presser is still in progress and ATR(14) has jumped to ~220 pips; remarks on a December hike could materially shift this read

Downtrend, ranging into Fed presser · RSI 46 · price 53.607

Lower highs from 54.34; 53.40–53.90 range since NY slide.

Rejection at the 54.34 NY session high unwound into a 53.47–53.90 range, with the lower high at 53.90 and the 53.84 Fed high both capped by the descending line. The in-line Fed hold whipsawed price both ways, sweeping the prior lows to a 53.40 Fed low before a bounce to 53.61. RSI(14) sits in the mid-40s.

Support: 53.47, 53.396

Resistance: 53.844, 53.898, 54.338

Downtrend, fresh window low post-Fed · RSI 40 · price 53.405

Lower highs from 54.34; 53.47–53.73 range broken lower.

The as-expected Fed hold at 18:00 UTC produced a spike to the 53.84 fed high that was sold, and price has slipped through the 53.47 prior low to a fresh window low at 53.40. Lower highs since the 54.34 NY high keep the intraday downtrend intact, with RSI(14) near 40 and not stretched.

Support: 53.404, 53.00

Downtrend, basing into FOMC · RSI 47 · price 53.678

Lower highs from 54.52; 53.47–53.90 base.

Silver slid from the 54.34 NY high to a 53.47 session low as oil-driven Fed-hike fears weighed, extending the lower-high sequence from the 54.52 Asia top. Price has since based between 53.47 and 53.90, tested three times at 53.47, and sits just below EMA20. The FOMC bar spiked to 53.84 and faded under the 53.90 spike high, which lines up with the 50% retrace of the NY drop.

Support: 53.621, 53.47

Lower high at 53.898 under the 54.338 NY high; tight 53.47–53.73 band.

The rally into the NY open topped at the 54.338 NY high, then reversed through the 53.62 London low as the hike-fear tone ahead of the FOMC weighed on silver. Price has since held the 53.47 session low on three tests. It is boxed below the 53.73 range top after a spike to the 53.898 spike high was rejected, trading under both EMAs with RSI(14) near 42.

Intraday downtrend, flattening into FOMC · RSI 38 · price 53.531

Lower highs from the NY high, tight range on the day low.

London broke below the Asian range (53.69–54.52). The run into NY open topped at the 54.338 NY high, then sold to a 53.47 day low as firm USD and oil-led Fed-hike fears weighed. Since 14:30 UTC price has held a 53.47–53.73 range. The 16:45 spike high at 53.898 was rejected near the 50% retrace of that drop, and RSI(14) sits near 38 with price back on the range floor.

Lower lows below Asian range; 53.47–53.73 range after NY flush.

London broke below the Asian range to a 53.62 london low. NY opened with a rejection at the 54.34 ny high and a slide to a 53.47 session low, tested twice, as a firm USD and oil-driven Fed-hike fears weighed. Price has since held a 53.47–53.73 range, and the late spike high at 53.90 was rejected at the 50% fib of the NY drop, leaving price just under ema20.

Downtrend, stalling above 53.47 · RSI 42 · price 53.67

Lower highs from 54.34 NY high; double low at 53.47, neckline 53.73 not cleared on a close.

Silver bled through the Asian session from 54.52 to 53.69. The NY open bounce to the 54.34 NY high was sold back to a double low at 53.47 as a firm USD and oil-driven Fed-hike fears weighed. The late spike high at 53.90 faded at the 50% fib of that drop, leaving price pinned between the 53.73 neckline and the 53.62 London low, with RSI(14) near 42.

Downtrend, basing at session low · RSI 36 · price 53.639

Lower lows; tight 53.47–53.73 base after NY rejection.

Rejection at the 54.34 NY high triggered a slide through the 53.62 London low to a fresh session low at 53.47, extending the lower-low chain as oil-driven Fed-hike fears weigh into the FOMC. The 53.47 session low has held twice since. Price is compressing below the 53.73 bounce high, with RSI(14) near 36 and both EMAs overhead.

  • Failure to hold the 53.47 session low extends the lower-low chain toward the 53.00 psych level
  • FOMC decision at 18:00 UTC and press conference at 18:30 UTC could materially shift this read; recovering the 54.34 ny high would break the lower-high sequence

Lower high at 54.34, lower low at 53.47; tight 53.47–53.73 range below Asian low.

NY session sold off from the 54.34 lower high, falling through the Asian range low near 53.69 to a 53.47 session low as the firm USD and oil-driven Fed-hike fears weighed. Price has since tested the session low twice and is capped by a swing high at 53.73, with RSI(14) near 42 and both EMAs overhead ahead of the FOMC.

  • Failure to hold the 53.47 session low extends the lower-low sequence toward the 53.00 round number
  • Reclaiming 54.00 psych (61.8% fib) undoes most of the NY sell-off; the 54.34 lower high caps above
  • FOMC decision at 18:00 GMT and press conference at 18:30 GMT could materially shift this read; dovish December messaging is the larger surprise given pricing

Downtrend, lower highs into FOMC · RSI 35 · price 53.547

Lower high at 54.338, lows pinned near 53.47.

Silver was rejected at the 54.338 NY high in the first hour of NY. It gave back the London rally and printed a session low at 53.47, below the 53.62 London low, as a firm USD and oil-driven Fed-hike fears weigh ahead of FOMC. The bounce stalled at the 53.73 bounce high, short of the 38.2% fib, and price sits back near the session low with RSI(14) near 35.

Lower highs and lower lows; tight band above session low.

NY's early push was rejected at the 54.338 NY high, a lower high under the 54.516 Asian high. Firm USD and oil-driven Fed-hike fears then took price to a fresh 53.470 session low. Price is now coiling in a 53.47–53.73 band below the 54.00 pivot ahead of the 18:00 GMT FOMC, with RSI(14) near 38 and the lower-highs trendline still capping.

Price is now basing near 53.72, under EMA20 (~53.80) and the 38.2% fib, with a firm USD and oil-driven Fed-hike fears capping rallies below the 54.00 round number ahead of the 18:00 GMT FOMC.

Silver's NY-open push cleared the 54.103 london high, then reversed hard from 54.338. That false break has been unwound to 53.77, close to the 78.6% retrace of the rally off the 53.621 london low, with price back under EMA20/50 and RSI(14) near 48.

Price is still inside the 53.62–54.34 day range, which sits well below the 54.516 asia high. Firmer oil and hawkish-Fed pricing are capping silver into FOMC.

Silver recovered from the 53.621 day low set in London to a 54.338 NY high, clearing the 54.103 lower high before a rejection pulled it back toward the 54.026 pullback low. The 54.338 high is still below the 54.516 Asian high, so the lower-high sequence holds, and the pair is trading heavy into the Fed.

Silver slid from the 54.52 Asian high to a 53.62 session low mid-London as firmer oil revived Fed-hike fears. It then rebounded through the 54.10 lower high and the falling lower-high line into the London-NY transition. Price is now testing the 78.6% fib near 54.33 with RSI(14) near 65, with higher lows at 53.69 and 53.72 beneath.

Intraday downtrend, bounce testing range top · RSI 58 · price 54.044

Lower highs from the Asian high; 53.62–54.11 range since London, higher low at 53.72.

Silver slid from the 54.52 Asian high to a 53.62 session low in London, with oil-driven Fed-hike fears pressuring it as lower highs capped at 54.21 and then the 54.11 London high. The London-NY transition bounce off a 53.72 higher low has carried price back to that London high, putting the 53.62–54.11 range top under test ahead of FOMC.

Intraday downtrend, corrective bounce · RSI 49 · price 53.913

Lower highs and lower lows since the 54.538 peak; bounce testing the descending trendline.

Asia session selling extended the lower-high chain. London's bounce stalled at the 54.103 london high before the slide reached a 53.621 session low. The recovery off that low has printed a 53.719 higher low and retraced to the 61.8% fib near 53.92, just under the descending trendline around 54.02 and the 54.00 round number. RSI(14) is neutral near 49 into the London-NY transition, with FOMC at 18:00 UTC.

Support: 53.719, 53.621

Resistance: 54.00, 54.103, 54.205

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the descending trendline and the 54.00 round number exposes the 54.103 london high; a break of 54.205, the last lower high, invalidates the intraday downtrend read
  • Rejection at the 61.8% fib and trendline, followed by a loss of the 53.719 higher low, returns focus to the 53.621 session low
  • Fed decision at 18:00 UTC and the presser at 18:30 UTC could materially shift this read; ATR near 110 pips is likely to expand

Lower highs and lower lows since the Asia high; tight base near 53.62–53.88.

Silver slid from the 54.516 Asia high through London, with lower highs at 54.205 and 54.103 and a session low at 53.621, as a firm USD and oil-driven Fed-hike fears weighed. Price is chopping at 53.77, just under EMA20 in the London-NY transition, and the bounce high at 53.883 is capping ahead of the FOMC.

Support: 53.621, 53.215

Resistance: 53.883, 54.103, 54.516

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 53.883 bounce high and the falling trendline near 53.95 would break the lower-high chain
  • Failure to hold the 53.621 session low extends the lower-low sequence toward the 53.215 prior low
  • London high at 54.103 sits just above the 38.2% fib; a reclaim reopens the 54.516 Asia high

Lower highs and lower lows since the Asian high; bounce testing the descending line.

Silver has stepped lower from the 54.516 Asian high through a 54.205 lower high and the 54.103 London high, with London setting a session low at 53.621. Price has since bounced to 53.88, just above EMA20 and still below the ~53.99 EMA50. Oil-driven Fed-hike repricing has kept the metal heavy into today's FOMC, and RSI(14) is neutral near 49.

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 54.103 london high breaks the lower-highs sequence
  • Rejection near 53.96, where the lower-highs line meets the 38.2% retrace of the Asia-London decline, keeps the downtrend intact

Silver has printed lower highs at 54.52, 54.205 and 54.10 since the Asia open, with the London high at 54.10 rejected and a new session low at 53.621 set. The bounce to 53.79 sits below the 53.95 breakdown pivot, as higher oil and pre-FOMC USD firmness keep the metal heavy.

Intraday downtrend, pausing above session low · RSI 37 · price 53.743

Lower highs and lower lows since 54.516; Asian low broken during London.

Silver extended the Asian slide into London, setting a session low at 53.621 below the 53.687 asian low before a shallow bounce. Lower highs from the 54.516 asian high through the 54.103 london high keep the intraday downtrend intact, with price below EMA20/50 as firmer oil revives Fed-hike concerns into FOMC. Price is coiling just above the asian low with no rebound past the 38.2% of the London drop yet.

Support: 53.687, 53.621, 53.50

Resistance: 53.947, 54.103, 54.516

What it said to watch

  • A close back above the 53.947 breakdown shelf reclaims the 61.8% of the London drop and tests the lower highs trendline
  • A break of the 54.103 london high voids the lower-high sequence and puts the 54.516 asian high back in view
  • Failure to hold the 53.621 session low confirms a fresh lower low toward the 53.50 round number

LH/LL chain from 54.516; London broke below the Asian low.

Silver has made lower highs since the 54.516 Asian high. London rejected 54.103 and then broke the 53.687 Asian low to a 53.621 session low, as oil-linked Fed-hike fears weighed into FOMC. Price is now hovering just above the old Asian low with RSI(14) near 42 and below both EMAs. The 53.871 breakdown level sits near the 50% retrace of the London leg.

Support: 53.687, 53.621

Resistance: 53.871, 54.103

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 53.871 breakdown level would stall the lower-highs sequence
  • Reclaim of the 54.103 London high invalidates the downtrend read
  • Failure to hold the 53.621 session low extends the lower-low chain; the Asian low at 53.687 is the first pivot
  • Fed decision at 18:00 UTC and presser at 18:30 UTC could materially shift this read

Downtrend, lower highs intact · RSI 43 · price 53.73

Lower-high/lower-low chain; London broke below the Asian low.

London capped at 54.10 below the Asia swing high at 54.20, then broke the asian low at 53.69 to a 53.62 session low. Price is back near 53.73 but still under the ema20 near 53.83, with RSI(14) at 43, as a firm USD weighs ahead of today's FOMC.

Support: 53.69, 53.62

Resistance: 53.83, 54.10, 54.20

Downtrend, lower highs intact · RSI 36 · price 53.667

Lower-high/lower-low chain since the Asia open; London broke below the Asian low.

Silver has stepped lower from the 54.52 Asian high, printing lower highs at 54.205 and the 54.103 London high. The 54.103 high was rejected mid-London and price then broke the 53.687 Asian low to a 53.621 session low, with RSI(14) at 36 and USD firm into FOMC.

Support: 53.621, 53.079

Lower highs since the 54.516 Asian high. London faded at the 54.103 lower high, which also sits at the 50% retrace of the 54.54–53.66 decline, then broke the 53.687 Asian low for a session low at 53.657. RSI(14) near 40 is not stretched; a firm USD and oil-driven hike fears into tonight's FOMC frame the slide.

Support: 53.657, 53.50, 53.079

Resistance: 53.687, 54.103, 54.516

Lower highs and lower lows; London bounce rejected at 50% retracement.

Silver slid through the Asia session from the 54.52 asia high to a 53.69 london low. Lower highs at the 54.21 asia swing and the 54.10 london high define a descending line, and the London bounce was rejected at the 50% retracement of that drop. Price is back near the 53.79 session low, below both EMAs, as oil-driven Fed-hike fears and a firm USD keep the metal heavy into FOMC.

Support: 53.786, 53.687

Resistance: 54.103, 54.205, 54.516

What it said to watch

  • Failure to hold the 53.79 session low and the 53.69 london low extends the lower-low sequence
  • An M15 close above the 54.10 london high and the descending line breaks the lower-high chain, with the 54.21 asia swing and 54.52 asia high above

Intraday downtrend, bounce stalling · RSI 52 · price 53.938

Lower high at 54.10 inside Asian range.

Asia session sold off from the 54.52 asia high to a 53.69 asian low as renewed oil-driven hike fears pushed silver back below $54. The London bounce was rejected at 54.10, the 50% retracement of the Asia drop, leaving a lower high below the 54.21 swing high. Mid-London, price is compressing between 53.88 and 54.10 with RSI(14) neutral near 52.

After repeated failures near the 54.516 asian high, silver slid through Asia to the 53.687 asian low as the USD firmed into the FOMC. London's bounce met rejection at 54.103, the london high and 50% retrace of that drop, and price is back under 54.00 with RSI(14) near 50. The move is compressing between the 53.877 london low and that cap.

The Asia session slid from the 54.516 high to a 53.687 session low just before London open. London has since bounced, but the move was rejected at the 54.103 london high, right at the 50% fib of that drop, and has left a higher low at 53.877.

Lower highs since 54.538; London bounce off 53.687 capped at 54.10.

Silver has printed lower highs since Tuesday's 54.538 prior high. The Asia slide to a 53.687 session low came as higher oil and a firm USD revived Fed-hike pricing. The London open bounce was rejected at 54.103, the London high, near the 50% retracement, and price is back at the 54.00 pivot above the 53.92 london base, with RSI(14) neutral near 51.

Asian lower highs broken; first higher low at 53.780.

Asia slid from the 54.516 Asian high to 53.687 as a firm USD and Fed-hike pricing weighed on silver ahead of FOMC. The bounce into London open broke the Asian downtrend line and reclaimed 54.00.

Resistance: 54.074, 54.205, 54.516

  • A break of the 53.780 higher low exposes the 53.687 Asian low and resumes the intraday downtrend
  • FOMC at 18:00 UTC and Powell's presser at 18:30 UTC could materially shift this read. December-hike signalling versus pushback is the swing factor.

The Asian session unwound part of Tuesday's rally from the 54.52 Asian high in a lower-high/lower-low sequence as crude firmed and Fed-hike pricing revived. Price now sits at the 38.2% retracement of the 52.66–54.54 move. The last ~2h have compressed between the 53.71 session low and the 53.97 range top heading into London open, with RSI(14) near 33.

Lower highs from the 54.516 Asian high, basing above the 53.776 Asian low.

The Asia session gave back Tuesday's NY-hours rally. The Asia drop ran from the 54.516 Asian high to a 53.776 low as firmer crude revived Fed-hike fears. Ahead of the London open, price is basing just above the Asian low under a lower high near 53.97, with RSI(14) in the mid-30s and both EMAs overhead.

Intraday downtrend, grinding lower through Asia · RSI 38 · price 53.813

Lower highs and lower lows since the 54.516 Asia open; holding at the 38.2% fib.

The Asia session has formed lower highs and lower lows off 54.516. Price slipped below the 53.968 broken shelf to a 53.776 Asia low and now sits on the 38.2% fib of Tuesday's 52.657–54.538 rebound high move. Firmer crude and a two-week-high USD into today's FOMC have capped bounces. RSI(14) is near 38, soft but not oversold.

Intraday downtrend, retracing Tuesday's rally · RSI 39 · price 53.925

Asia lower highs under a descending trendline, session low on the 38.2% fib.

The Asia session has given back part of Tuesday's 52.66–54.54 rebound, putting in lower highs at 54.52 and the 54.21 lower high along a descending trendline, as firmer oil and USD revived Fed-hike fears. The session low at 53.78 tagged the 38.2% fib (53.82). Price is now pressing that trendline from below near 53.93 ahead of the London open, back under the 54.00 round number.

Support: 53.776, 53.598, 53.376

Resistance: 54.00, 54.205, 54.538

  • Loss of the 53.78 session low exposes the 50% fib at 53.60, then the 61.8% fib at 53.38.
  • Reclaiming the 54.54 prior high would negate the retracement read entirely.
  • The FOMC decision at 18:00 UTC and press conference at 18:30 UTC could materially shift this read.

Asia session broke lower out of the overnight 54.38–54.52 range and cut through the 53.97 Asia base. Price is now pressing the 38.2% fib of Tuesday's 52.66–54.54 rally, near 53.82, with a session low at 53.78. A chain of lower highs since the 54.205 bounce caps the tape as firmer crude and Fed-hike bets weigh ahead of FOMC.

Asia has given back part of Tuesday's rally from the 52.657 YTD low. Price printed lower highs from the 54.516 asia high and broke under 54.00 psych as firmer crude revived Fed-hike pricing. The 53.851 asian low sits just above the 38.2% fib of the rally, with RSI(14) near 39 and ATR around 112 pips.

Lower highs and lower lows after a break below Tuesday's 54.16–54.52 range.

Late in the Asia session, silver has slipped out of Tuesday's 54.16–54.52 NY range as crude firmed. It is retracing part of the rally off the 52.66 YTD low, with lower highs at the 54.52 session high and 54.21. Price is pinned just under the 54.00 psych level near the 53.93 session low, and RSI(14) is around 33, soft but not extreme.

Broke below NY consolidation range; LH/LL chain since Asia open.

Tuesday's rebound off 52.657 topped at 54.538 as oil eased, and NY hours then held a 54.16–54.52 range. Asia has broken that range floor with lower highs as crude firmed again. The asia low at 53.957 sits just above the 38.2% rally fib at 53.82, with RSI(14) near 36 and not yet oversold.

Broke below Tuesday NY range floor, basing at 53.97.

Late Asia session: price slipped out of Tuesday's 54.16–54.54 NY range, with the asia low at 53.97 tested three times and a rejection at the 54.205 bounce high leaving 54.00 unaccepted. The dip retraces roughly 28% of Tuesday's 52.66–54.54 rally, which came as oil eased on Middle East diplomacy, and lower highs since the Asia open are capping rebounds.

Asian session lower-high sequence into a flat base at 53.97.

Tuesday's bounce from the 52.66 YTD-low area ran to a 54.538 prior high in NY before stalling in a 54.16–54.50 range. That bounce came as oil eased on Middle East diplomacy, but a firm USD capped it. Wednesday's Asia session rejected the 54.50 range top and printed lower highs down to a three-touch Asian low at 53.967. Price is now holding the 54.00 psych level, with the 54.205 lower high, near the 38.2% fib, capping the latest rebound.

Mid-Asia session, silver has broken the 54.15 range floor of yesterday's late-NY 54.16–54.53 range and is pressing the 53.97 session low, with lower highs capping each bounce since the 54.52 open.

Lower highs at 54.516 and 54.478 have since pressed price onto the 53.97 asia low and 54.00 psych, with RSI(14) near 29.

Price has since held a shallow shelf above the 54.16 swing low, well above the 23.6% fib. The Asia session is mid-range between its 54.34 session low and the 54.52 session high, and RSI(14) is neutral near 45.

It has since compressed for about nine hours above the 54.158 swing low, a shallow pullback that held above the 23.6% fib. Early Asia session is coiling between the 54.339 session low and the 54.516 session high, with RSI(14) flat near 49 and price just under EMA20.

Support: 54.339, 54.158, 54.00

Resistance: 54.516, 54.538

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 54.538 day high breaks the consolidation and resumes the rebound leg
  • Loss of the 54.158 swing low brings the 54.00 round number and the 54.09 23.6% fib into play
  • Fed decision at 18:00 UTC Wed, with Powell at 18:30, could materially shift this read

  • Break of the 54.34 asian low puts the 54.16 swing low in play

Post-rally range, momentum flat · RSI 52 · price 54.442

Range 54.158–54.538 since NY; Asian range compressing inside it.

Silver rallied from the 52.657 YTD low set just before London open to a 54.538 range top during NY hours as oil eased on Middle East talks. The 54.158 swing low has held the pullback since, and the Asian session is compressing between the 54.381 Asian low and the 54.516 Asian high, just above EMA20. RSI(14) is neutral near 52, so there is no momentum signal inside the range.

Support: 54.381, 54.158, 54.00

Resistance: 54.516, 54.538

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 54.538 range top breaks the post-NY range and extends the rally
  • Loss of the 54.381 Asian low reopens the 54.158 swing low, with the 54.00 psych level and the 38.2% rally fib near 53.82 below
  • Fed decision at 18:00 UTC Wed and Powell at 18:30 UTC could materially shift this read

Early Asia is coiling under the 54.504 Asian high with RSI(14) neutral near 46 and price pinned to a flat EMA20 at 54.42.

Support: 54.33, 54.158, 54.00

Resistance: 54.504, 54.538, 55.00

What it said to watch

  • M15 close above the 54.538 session high and the 54.504 Asian high breaks the range top, with the 55.00 round number next
  • Failure to hold the 54.33 range floor and then the 54.158 swing low exposes the 54.00 round number and the 38.2% rebound fib near 53.82
  • Fed decision at 18:00 UTC Wed and Powell's 18:30 presser could materially shift this read
