Silver testing major resistance, prepare for a potentially strong drop
Silver has broken our long term ascending support-turned-resistance line stretching all the way back to December 2017 and has made a pullback to this level. This is always a good sign that bears are forcing their way back into the position. The overall momentum remains overwhelmingly bearish. This break of our long term support-turned-resistance line has triggered a potential bearish drop from here below 17.03 (Fibonacci retracement, horizontal pullback resistance, bearish exit) for a push down to 16.21 support (Fibonacci retracement, horizontal pullback support).
RSI (34) has made a similar break of its long term ascending support-turned-resistance line signaling that a change in momentum is expected. We are also seeing strong bearish divergence vs price which signals that a potential reversal is impending.
