I’ve been waiting for the futures to fall to the 27,800 ‘d’ target of the reverse pattern shown so that I can get a reliable and precise handle on trend strength. Can a beaten-down Silver summon the moxie to embark on a bull cycle that would challenge May’s imposing high at 33,500?  If so, it will need to put up a few strong bars on the daily chart, and soon. My gut feeling, however, is that the December contract has languished for too many days just a hair above d=27.800 to imply that it is gathering such strength. More likely is that the futures are fixing to dip below ‘d’, then test the key low at 26.885 recorded on August 8. _______ UPDATE (Sep 13, 9:41): The futures have spiked precisely to the D=31.04 target shown in this chart. Expect a pullback, but if not, count on more upside to 31.795, a Hidden Pivot calculated by sliding the ‘A’ low down to 27.06, recorded on 8/7.
