Silver technical analysis
Silver trades in a Rising Channel chart pattern in which each pullback is considered as a buying opportunity by the market participants. Upward-sloping 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at around $23.00 indicates that the short-term trend is bullish. Horizontal resistance is plotted from September 22 high at $23.76.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) (14) shifts into the bullish range of 60.00-80.00, which warrants more upside ahead.
