Silver Price Analysis: Consolidating within up leg of price pattern

  • Silver is consolidating within the third and final up leg of a price pattern. 
  • The price will probably continue up to a target in the upper $32.00s. 
  • Silver has broken out of a falling channel and above a four-year resistance level. 

Silver (XAG/USD) consolidates after breaking out of a falling channel and above a four-year old resistance level. It is probably in the process of rising up in the final wave C of a three-wave Measured Move (MM), with a final price target substantially higher than the current market level.

Silver Daily Chart

MMs are like large zig-zags composed of three waves, sometimes labeled A,B and C.  

Wave C will probably reach the 0.618 extrapolation of wave A at $32.75, as a minimum expectation. If wave C is the same length as A – as is often the case – then it could reach $35.00. 

A break above $31.49 would provide confirmation of the next leg higher.
