Silver Price Analysis: Watch these key consolidation levels for a break

  • Silver trades 0.73% lower as the dollar reverses from its lows. 
  • There is a triangle chart formation on the hourly chart.

Silver 1-hour chart

Silver is in full consolidation mode at the moment after the recent price rise. Silver has risen for eight straight weeks but this week the precious metal has started on the back foot. Also in 2020 alone, the price has moved from a low of 11.63 to a high of 26.19. Silver seems to respect technical levels very well. The point where the price stopped moving higher was the consolidation low from September 2011 to July 2012.

Looking closer at the hourly chart, the key feature is the black triangle pattern. A break of this pattern could help us determine the future direction of the metal. On the topside, the next resistance is at USD 25 per ounce. Beyond that, a break of the high of USD 26.20 per ounce could mean that the bull trend is back on. Looking lower down now, there are a couple of key areas to watch. First up is the green support line at USD 23.18 per ounce but below that is the main area at USD 22.33 per ounce. 

The indicators are pretty mixed at the moment. The MACD histogram is red but the signal lines are above the mid-level. This normally indicates that the pair is still in an uptrend. The Relative Strength Index is just at the 50.00 line as the market is moving sideways. Overall the metal is still in a firm uptrend but at the moment there is a strong consolidation pattern. If the resistance levels break it could be a good area to catch the trend again.

Gold struggles near YTD lows on hawkish Fed bets, bullish USD ahead of US PCE

Gold is seen consolidating around $4,000 during the Asian session on Thursday as bears pause following the overnight slump to the lowest level since November 2025.

US-Iran talks: The next 60 days will decide where Oil prices go next
Oil markets received some encouraging news after weeks of rising tensions in the Middle East. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves: we’re far from victory, and markets just seem to have priced out the worst-case scenario. The US and Iran have reportedly made "substantive progress" in talks in Switzerland and agreed on a framework for working toward a broader deal within 60 days.
Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
