Silver technical analysis
A break above the 61.8% Fibo near 25.90 of the weekly bearish impulse will leave the bulls in good stead for higher highs.
Bulls will be looking for a break to back above the weekly counter trendline and within the bullish trend again.
Hourly chart
The bulls will be keen to hold onto this support or face giving over control to the bears.
