Silver long-term technical analysis
July has been an interesting month for silver as the price experienced sharp sell-off below its long-term support level and spelled all bear to the market. However, the situation quickly reverses, and silver start moved up to erase all losses in just six days. Initially, down to as low as $14.415 (may differ, depend on brokers), the price closed back above $16.00 on 17th July.
The price continues higher in August after rejection from $16.80. North Korea nuclear threat is the reason why the price of precious metal could move higher. Under the current situation, the rally incited by rising tension might continue but will die out if peace resolution reached.
