Silver Tries To Settle Above $27.00

Silver continues its rebound as the U.S. dollar is losing ground against a broad basket of currencies while gold/silver ratio remains under pressure.

U.S. Dollar Index continues its attempts to settle below the 93 level, providing additional support to precious metals. In case this attempt is successful, U.S. Dollar Index will head towards the recent lows at 92.50 which would be bullish for silver.

Meanwhile, gold managed to stay above the 20 EMA at $1945 and attempts to gain more upside momentum. In case gold gets to the $2000 level, silver and other precious metals will get more support.

Gold/silver ratio faced resistance below the 75 level and is currently trying to settle below the 72 level. At this point, gold/silver ratio has good chances to test the recent lows near 69.50, pushing silver to new highs.

Silver has managed to quickly rebound after the major sell-off which took it from the recent highs at $29.85 to $23.50. The strength of the rebound indicates that those traders who have missed the initial rally have started to buy silver right after the sell-off.

The upside trend remains intact, and silver maintains good chances to test the recent highs at $29.85.
