With that in mind, silver could be trapped by resistance overhead at $26.63 and support beneath at $26.20. A lack of continuation at this stage might allow bulls to consolidate recent gains, however, and prove constructive in pursuit of a longer-term breakout rally. Fluctuating between support and resistance could open the door to range trading strategies.
Should a continuation beyond $26.63 occur, silver bulls could set their sights on $26.95 as an area of secondary resistance. The zone has served as both support and resistance in the past, most recently evidenced by price action in February and early March. While the technical landscape looks to be improving, the key to silver price gains remains US Treasury yields for the time being and a resumption higher in that market could hamper commodity price gains.
