Silver could be slowing down soon as it approaches resistance at $25.45. Of course, crossing it might suggest further gains are ahead. Despite posting gains on yesterday, Silver slid below its 21 day Simple Moving Average at $25.14 during the last session — an early indicator that a negative trend could be emerging. Bollinger Band® analysis indicates that current price action is approaching the upper band at $25.74, thereby suggesting that Silver is becoming overvalued.
After posting consistent gains as part of its uptrend and being lifted by intraday sentiment, technical factors suggest CME Silver is set for a reversal in the coming days.
Over the past 16 days, CME Silver has retreated 2.91% from a noteworthy peak of $25.96.
