FX.co ★ Technical analysis of silver for August 09, 2016

Technical outlook and chart setups:

Silver hit fresh lows at $19.50 levels last Friday as expected. The metal is trading at $19.60 at the moment and looks to be setting up for a retracement/counter trend rally towards $20.40/50 levels before reversing again. Besides, the metal is likely to consolidate (triangle) and seems to be in its last leg rally as shown here. If the above wave count proves to be valid, and silver fails to break above $21.13 levels, it will drop lower towards $19.00 levels at least going forward. It is recommended to remain short now, with risk above $21.13 levels. Immediate interim support is seen at $19.45 levels, while resistance lies at $20.50 levels. Bears should be poised to remain in control till prices stay below $21.13 levels.

Trading recommendations:

Remain short from $20.50 levels, and plan to book partial profits. Stop is above $21.13, target is lower.

Good luck!
