SILVER Spot
Extension of downtrend from 35.36, 01 Oct peak, breaks below 32.00, psychological support / 55 day MA and penetrates daily Ichimoku cloud, with 31.67 low seen so far. As daily indicators slide into negative territory, the downside remains favored, with corrective bounce on oversold hourlies, facing good resistance at 32.50 zone, 50% of 33.27/31.67 downleg / 55 day EMA, where reversal should ideally occur, to keep bears in play. Immediate targets lie at 31.67 and 31.43, 50% retracement of 27.50/35.36 rally, ahead of more significant 31.00 zone, round figure support / 200 day MA. To avert immediate downside risk and improve near-term structure, clearance of breakpoint at 33.30 is required.
