  • RES 4: $36.000 - Round number resistance 
  • RES 3: $34.903 - High Oct 23 ‘24 and the bull trigger
  • RES 2: $34.590 - High Mar 28  
  • RES 1: $33.686 - High Apr 25

  • SUP 3: $27.686 - Low Sep 6 ‘24   
  • SUP 4: $27.180 - Low Aug 14 ‘24   

A strong rally in Silver on Apr 23 reinforced the current bullish theme. This suggests the latest pullback that started Apr 25, is a correction. Price has traded below support at $322.443, the 50-day EMA. A continuation lower would highlight scope for a deeper retracement and open $30.915, the Apr 11 low. For bulls, resistance to watch is $33.686, the Apr 24 high. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the latest uptrend.
