Current trend
From the last week silver from is growing alongside the commodity assets and currencies. It reached its 5 year minimum and began to grow from the zone above the level of 16.00 USD per ounce. On the daily chart it’s clear that after the reaching the zone of 15.60-16.00 silver begins to be actively purchased during the year. The reaction of the price to the lower border of the D1 channel (blue) is clear too: the border has been the trend line for the price for more than a year. The strong consolidation of the price above the line can reflect the further growth and the reaching the next levels upwards.
