Downtrend, basing near lows · RSI 32 · price 60.318
Lower highs and lower lows since 67.53; tight range 60.03–61.71 above the swing low.
Silver has printed lower highs at 67.53, 65.08 and 61.71 since the Sep 22 peak. Monday's gap lower broke the mid-September range floor near 62.30 as oil-driven yield gains revived Fed-hike pricing, and today's softer core PCE failed to lift price off the lows. Since then, price has compressed into a 60.03–61.71 box just above the prior low at 60.29, with EMA20 below EMA50. ATR(14) near 690 pips is steady rather than compressing, and the 38.2% fib of the 65.08–60.03 leg sits near 61.96, just under the broken floor.
Support: 60.289, 60.028
Resistance: 61.712, 62.303, 65.078
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 60.03 swing low and the 60.00 handle extends the lower-low sequence
Failure to hold the 60.29 prior low keeps pressure on the base of the range
H4 close above the 61.71 range high breaks the lower-highs trendline and opens the 61.96 fib / 62.30 broken floor zone
The 65.08 lower high remains the structural pivot; only a recovery through it would negate the downtrend read
ISM Manufacturing and Prices Paid Thu 14:00 UTC (with Waller) could materially shift this read
Lower highs since 68.31; 62.30 range floor broken, tight base 60.30–61.71.
Silver spent most of September inside a 62.30–68.30 range, carving lower highs from 68.31 to 67.53 and then the 65.08 lower high. Monday's slide broke the 62.30 broken floor, the head and shoulders neckline, as surging yields and a firm USD outweighed today's soft PCE. The 60.30–61.71 base under the cons high has now given way to a new window low at 60.09, just above the 60.00 round number, with price below both EMAs and the EMA20 under the EMA50. ATR has eased to about 730 pips from Monday's expansion, so the breakdown is pausing rather than accelerating.
Support: 60.086, 60.00
Resistance: 61.712, 62.30, 65.078
What it said to watch
H4 close below the 60.00 round number extends the head-and-shoulders breakdown to fresh lows
Recovery back above the 61.71 cons high negates the post-break base and opens a retest of the 62.30 broken floor, near the 38.2% fib of the sell-off
Only a move through the 65.08 lower high breaks the lower-highs sequence
Fed's Cook, Goolsbee and Kashkari tonight, plus ISM Manufacturing and Prices Paid Thu 14:00 UTC, could materially shift this read

Downtrend, basing near lows · RSI 36 · price 60.632
Lower highs since 67.53; range floor broken, tight base 60.29-61.71.
Silver spent most of the month in a 62.30-67.50 range before Monday's yield- and dollar-driven plunge broke the range floor. Price has since compressed into a narrow base between the 60.29 swing low and the 61.71 lower high, with the 60.00 round number just beneath. Price sits below both EMAs, EMA20 is under EMA50, and ATR(14) is easing off the breakdown spike. Today's core PCE miss (3.0% vs 3.3%) is the first real test of that base.
Support: 60.289, 60.00
Resistance: 61.712, 62.30
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 61.71 lower high breaks the lower-high sequence and puts the 62.30 range floor back in play as resistance
Reclaim of 62.30 would open the fib 38.2% retracement near 63.06
H4 close below the 60.29 swing low extends the downtrend toward the 60.00 round number
ISM Manufacturing and Prices Paid (Thu 14:00 GMT), plus Cook/Goolsbee/Kashkari tonight, could materially shift this read

Downtrend, basing near lows · RSI 37 · price 61.272
Lower highs since 67.53; post-breakdown range 60.29–61.80.
Silver broke the head and shoulders neckline near 62.30 with Monday's plunge, and highs have stepped lower from 67.53 to 65.08 and then 61.80. Near-19-year-high yields and October Fed hike pricing are behind the move. Price has since compressed into a 60.29–61.80 range below both EMAs, with EMA20 under EMA50. ATR(14) is easing from the breakdown expansion, and the 38.2% fib of the 67.53–60.29 leg sits at 63.06, lining up with the prior swing low.
Support: 60.289, 60.00
Resistance: 61.80, 62.30
What it said to watch
ADP 12:15 GMT and core PCE 12:30 GMT today could materially shift this read
H4 close above the 61.80 range top opens a retest of the 62.30 neckline
Reclaim of the 62.30 neckline would undercut the head and shoulders breakdown
Failure to hold the 60.29 swing low extends the downtrend toward the 60.00 psych level
Upside through the 63.06 area (38.2% fib) would break the lower-high sequence

Downtrend, pausing near lows · RSI 32 · price 60.968
Lower highs at 67.53 and 65.08; range floor at 62.30 broken, tight 60.29–61.71 band.
Silver dropped through the 62.30 range floor in Monday's ~5% flush as US yields pressed 19-year highs and Fed-hike pricing firmed. That extended a lower-high sequence from 67.53 and 65.08. Since then price has compressed into a 60.29 swing low to 61.71 bounce high band, with EMA20 below EMA50, RSI near 32 and ATR still elevated from the breakdown.
Support: 60.289, 60.00
Resistance: 61.712, 62.303, 62.684
What it said to watch
ADP (12:15 UTC) and Core PCE/GDP (12:30 UTC) today could materially shift this read
H4 close below the 60.29 swing low extends the lower-low sequence toward the 60.00 psych level
H4 close above the 61.71 bounce high puts the 62.30 range floor back in play as the first retest
Reclaiming the fib 50% of the breakdown fib at 62.68 would signal the range break is failing
Silver completed a multi-week head and shoulders, with the head at 68.31 and the right shoulder at 67.53. Monday's break of the 62.30 neckline came as 10y yields pushed to 19-year highs and October hike odds firmed. Since then price has been compressing between the 60.29 swing low and the 61.80 lower high, below both EMA20 and EMA50, which remain bearishly stacked. ATR(14) is easing from Monday's expansion as the tape stalls in the 60.3–61.8 band.

Resistance: 61.803, 62.30, 63.059
What it said to watch
H4 close above the 61.80 lower high opens a retest of the 62.30 neckline, then the 63.06 prior low
Failure to hold the 60.29 swing low confirms a fresh lower-low toward the 60.00 psych level
Core PCE and ADP today from 12:15 UTC; a print away from the 3.3% core forecast could materially shift this read
Rejection at the neckline on any recovery would keep the H&S breakdown structure intact
