Silver 4-hour Chart
Despite recent oscillations between the $32s and $30s Silver’s overall short-term bias is bullish and given the saying “the trend is your friend” this favors long positions over shorts.
That said, in the very near term Silver could pull back down to support at around the $30.00 level – the highs of a four-year-long consolidation range.
Silver will probably recover eventually and climb back up to retouch the $32.51 high. If it surpasses that, it is likely to stretch up to the next target at $35.30 (October 2012 high).
It would require a decisive break below the $30.00 level to bring into doubt the dominant uptrend.
A decisive break would be one accompanied by a long red candlestick that closed near its lows or three red candlesticks in a row.
