Silver maintains a softer tone. The recent break of $18.845, Sep 12 low, signals the end of the recent corrective recovery between Sep 1 - 12. A continuation lower would pave the way for a move towards the key support and bear trigger at $17.562, the Sep 1 low. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the broader downtrend. On the upside, a break of $20.014, Sep 12 high, is required to reinstate a bullish theme.
