Silver carved a bullish hammer Monday off the 50-day average, establishing a higher swing low and closing decisively above Friday’s high—signaling the six-day correction is likely complete and targeting $52.47–$54.39.
Silver delivered a classic one-day hammer reversal Monday, bouncing sharply from Friday’s $48.64 low and establishing a clear higher swing low. Buyers closed the session in a bullish position above Friday’s $50.87 high, confirming the hammer breakout and buyer conviction.
Friday’s low not only defended the 20-day average but also tested the rising 50-day average — the closest approach since late August’s rally launch. The aggressive buying response and close above the 50-day is a powerful short-term bullish development.
The brief six-day pullback from the $54.39 lower swing high now appears complete after holding well above October’s $45.55 higher swing low and the rising channel centerline. Minor dips have repeatedly respected channel structure, with the 50-day now tracking just above the centerline. This shows an acceleration in overall bullish momentum as the slope of the trend increases.
Silver continues recognizing the ascending channel boundaries: the October low bounced from the centerline with the 50% retracement, and Friday’s test occurred slightly above the 50-day—classic bullish behavior ahead of a potential top-channel challenge.
A sustained push above the recent interim swing high and weekly inside-week high at $52.47 demonstrates renewed strength. Clearing $54.39 then targets fresh trend highs and validates resumption of the August rally. Silver spiked higher from pullback lows beginning on November 10. Now that the short-term correction looks over, there is the possibility of seeing similar decisive buying patterns.
If momentum remains subdued, silver can consolidate near current levels in a low-volatility environment while maintaining a bullish posture, as long-term as key dynamic support is not broken.
Monday’s hammer breakout and higher swing low off the 50-day average places buyers back in control. Defend $50.87–$48.64 to protect the structure; a close above $52.47 targets $54.39 quickly, with the channel top and new highs beyond. Only sustained trade below the 50-day would delay the next leg higher.
