Silver is 7 cents away from testing key resistance at $23.3. Peaking above this level could inspire market bulls and open the path to further gains. Despite posting gains so far today, Silver slid below its 200 day Simple Moving Average at $23.07 in earlier trade — an early indicator that a negative trend could be emerging.
Despite basking in an uptrend and bullish intraday sentiment, chart analysis indicates Silver is set for a reversal in the coming days.
