Support Zone Sparks Bullish Reversal

Following a new minor trend low of $54.78 on Friday, which ended with a narrow range day, silver triggered a one-day bullish reversal on Monday as buyers regained short-term control. The new low followed by signs of strength on Monday further confirmed a support zone from approximately $54.49 to $54.23. That price zone consists of the prior trend high from October 2025, the 88.6% Fibonacci retracement of the prior advance that began at the October higher swing low, and the lower boundary of a falling trend channel (purple).

It was successfully tested as support in late June, leading to a rally and the formation of an eventual lower swing high. That successful defense of support provides the foundation for Monday’s bullish reversal and the potential for a broader recovery, provided buyers can sustain the momentum.

There is also a shorter-term falling channel (blue) that defines the boundaries of the decline that followed the May lower swing high at $89.38. As seen with the larger declining channel, the lower boundary of the shorter channel was also confirmed as support near the late June low. Taken together, the upper boundary line of the smaller channel and the lower boundary line of the larger channel show the characteristics of a small, potentially bullish falling wedge forming near the current key support zone.

Breakout Levels to Watch

Dynamic resistance for this wedge pattern is marked by the closely aligned upper boundary line and the 20-day moving average, currently near $58.89 and falling. That price zone, along with the minor lower swing high of $59.68, marks the key bullish breakout area for the declining trend and the small wedge contained within it. The first upside target would then be the lower swing high from earlier this month at $63.28, which is also close to the 50% retracement of the prior decline.

Nevertheless, any upswing in silver would initially represent a notable counter-trend rally toward prior dynamic support indicators, including an uptrend line and the 200-day moving average. Together, these present the upper boundary of an initial target range if bullish signals are triggered. The 200-day moving average is now near $70.47. However, the first potential upside dynamic resistance zone is marked by the falling 50-day moving average, currently at $67.44.

Bearish Risks Remain Below Support

On the downside, a decisive decline below $54.78 would signal a continuation of the bearish trend. Even so, the confluence of resistance levels outlined above could limit the strength of any rebound before the broader downtrend reasserts itself. If the support range is broken, the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement at $48.29 would become the next downside target. Whether Monday’s bullish reversal develops into a more meaningful recovery or simply another counter-trend bounce will likely depend on how price reacts around the wedge breakout levels noted above.
