Silver Price Outlook – Silver Continues to Sit Above Support

The silver market continues to hang around the same area, as we are waiting for the speech from Jerome Powell later on Friday. The silver market is highly sensitive to the interest rate situation and the US dollar, so we need to pay close attention to the Friday close.

Silver Technical Analysis

The silver market has pulled back just a bit during the trading session here on Friday in the early hours, as we continue to see a lot of questions asked about what happens next. Ultimately, I think you have to look at this through the prism of a market that is trying to determine whether or not the uptrend is still very much intact. With the $37.50 level being so important, I think it makes sense that we’re here waiting on the speech from Jerome Powell at Jackson Hole.

All things being equal, this will probably have a lot to do with the US dollar, which by extension will have a lot to do with what monetary policy in the United States should be, at least in theory. And therefore, I think you should be watching the US dollar index as well. If we do rally from here, I anticipate that the $39 level will be your next target.

If we can break above there, then $40 is a massive barrier to take into account. If we break down below the 50 day EMA, then it could open up a move down to the $36.50 level. Silver is very volatile, so please keep that in mind, but it’s also been in a very strong uptrend over the longer term. And I don’t know if that changes quite yet, as we have seen so much in the way of resiliency and stubborn buying pressure on dips.
