Technical analysis
As per the prior analysis, Silver is on track for a daily upside extension, XAG/USD broke the 4-hour resistance marked by the series of 4-hour lows from last week’s business.
Prior analysis
''The price action in this current area can be monitored from a vantage point on the lower time frames for bullish structure and bullish technical conditions.''
Live market analysis
A retest of the prior highs on the 4-hour align perfectly with the 38.2% Fibonacci of this current bullish impulse where demand would be expected to support the upside bias.
On the upside, bulls will seek to replenish the weekly $28.75 highs.
A break there, however, will put the dynamic trend line support back under pressure and focus will be on $26.60 as the prior resistance structure.
