Silver's sideway movement.

Silver has been trading sideways for a few sessions, trapped between US$37 and US$38 an ounce. It is currently at US$37.29 an ounce.


Looking at the technical chart, we see candlesticks in the form of hangmen and inverted hammers, not bullish signs. However, silver could be doing a correction using time, waiting for the 20dMA to catch up before moving higher. The 20dMA is currently at US$36.09.


Personally, with the candlesticks suggesting that market participants are indecisive and the MACD having formed a lower high, I would go with the possibility that silver could move lower in the near future. The 50dMA is at US$32.62 while the 100dMA is at US$30.58.

UOB is selling silver at S$47.70 an ounce.

Hi Cas,

I have been selling some on the way up. The last sale was done at US$35+ an ounce (S$45+ an ounce) early last month. Not selling more at current level.

TA is about probabilities. So, although the probability of a downward movement in price is higher, it is not set in stone. I would take action at a higher resistance or a lower support. :)
