Key quotes

“Silver has recently failed at $26.69 and attention is on the 200-day ma $24.75. This is exposed and failure here will target the 18th January low at $24.21. Currently, we suspect that downside weakness will be limited to this. However, failure here would target the 78.6% retracement at $23.18/17. This is considered to be the last defense for the November low at $21.87.”

“Above $26.69, initial resistance is offered by the 23rd February high at $28.37 ahead of the $30.09 spike high.” 

“Above $30.09 will target the 50% retracement of the move down from 2011, this is found at $31.7150.”
