Silver's impulsive drop gives way to accumulation

Silver is forming a local bottom following a wave of aggressive profit-taking. A sharp, impulsive decline has given way to quiet consolidation, and the market has stopped hitting new lows. Candlesticks are getting smaller, and buyers are holding the price near daily highs—a subtle yet clear indication that bearish pressure is easing and accumulation is slowly creeping in. 

The spotlight, however, falls on Bollinger Bands. Quotes are now hovering almost exactly on the midline, at $77.55, turning it into a key support. Just a few days ago, the precious metal was riding the upper band near $87.00, though the correction has brought it back to the center. What is noteworthy is that the market has repeatedly tested the $77.5–$78.0 zone in recent sessions without closing below it. At the same time, shrinking candlestick sizes make it obvious that sellers are running out of steam. 

The Stochastic Oscillator offers an early ray of hope. It has just flirted with the 20 level, brushing against oversold territory. But now, a bullish crossover is taking shape. This is often an early warning that a rebound may be on the way. And with the indicator still far from the overbought zone above 80, there is plenty of room for further upside.

The Chaikin Oscillator adds another layer of confirmation. It has climbed back above zero and is currently steadying in positive territory, signaling that bullish volumes are slowly returning to the market. That is not a roar, though it is a whisper worth listening to.

On the fundamental side, the clouds are starting to part. Even with the Federal Reserve's (Fed) tightening expectations and rising bond yields hanging overhead, silver found support in news of US‑Iran negotiations. Any de-escalation around the Strait of Hormuz would ease inflation fears. Meanwhile, steady investment and industrial demand continue to provide a long‑term floor under the metal.

For those ready to make a move, pay attention to the trading plan down below:

Buy silver at the current price. Place Take profit at $84.40. Set Stop loss at $73.00.
