1/25/2010 – SILVER – Price action on spot silver, a daily chart of which is shown, took a steep dive for most of last week after reaching resistance around the 18.80 price region. Price at that level approached, but fell short of, the 19.40 region long-term high that was reached in early December 2009. Currently, the price decline of last week has brought silver down to approach key support in the 16.70 price region. In the process, it has also formed the rough pattern of a head-and-shoulders formation, with price currently around the region of the neckline. Any substantial breakdown below both this neckline and the noted 16.70 support region could indicate further bearishness going forward. In this event, an immediate support level to the downside resides around the 16.00 price region, with additional dynamic support residing around the bottom border of the long-term parallel uptrend channel. To the upside, a pronounced bounce up off the current support should target resistance around the 18.00 price region.
