Technical analysis of Silver for May 13, 2014

Technical outlook and chart setups:

1. Silver has produced an engulfing bullish candlestick chart pattern right at the trend line support around sub $19.00 levels as seen here. At the moment, the metal is consolidating gains and is expected to rally further to take out $20.00/40 levels from here on. This event would confirm that bulls are here to stay. Recommendations for now is to book some profits and remain long, risk is below $18.40/50.
