Trend signals in Silver remain bullish. The metal has traded to a fresh cycle high today, however, price action is volatile and silver is off its intraday high. Recent gains have resulted in a move above a major resistance area around the $49.00-$50.00 region. This marks a high point from Jan ‘80 and Apr ‘11 and $50.00 represents a key psychological level. A clear break of this zone strengthens a bull theme. Support to watch is $46.791, the 20-day EMA.
