Silver prices bounce as optimism for an end to the US-Iran war eases hawkish bets

FUNDAMENTAL
OVERVIEW

Silver has been regaining
some ground over the past few days, supported by a couple of optimistic
developments on the US-Iran front. On Monday, prices jumped after Trump announced on his Truth Social account a five-day ceasefire aimed
at paving the way for “a complete and total resolution of the hostilities”.

Late yesterday, silver got another boost after Israel’s Channel 12 reported that a month-long ceasefire could
be announced while the US and Iran negotiate 15 key points. Traders are now
waiting to see whether Iran accepts the plan. If it does, silver could
extend its gains toward the 96.00 level. On the other hand, a rejection might
put prices back under pressure, potentially dragging silver down toward the
50.00 handle.

SILVER TECHNICAL
ANALYSIS – DAILY TIMEFRAME

On the daily chart, we can
see that silver bounced on the first major upward trendline. The buyers stepped
in with a defined risk below the trendline to position for a rally back into
the 96.35 level. The sellers will want
to see the price breaking below the trendline to increase the bearish bets into
the next trendline.

SILVER TECHNICAL ANALYSIS –
4 HOUR TIMEFRAME

On the 4 hour chart, we
have a downward trendline defining the bearish structure on this timeframe.
From a risk management perspective, the sellers will have a better risk to
reward setup around the trendline with a defined risk above it to position for
a drop back into the upward trendline. The buyers, on the other hand, will look
for a break higher to increase the bullish bets into the 96.35 level next.

SILVER TECHNICAL ANALYSIS –
1 HOUR TIMEFRAME

On the 1 hour chart, we have
a minor upward trendline defining the bullish momentum on this timeframe. We
can expect the buyers to lean on the trendline to keep pushing into new highs, while
the sellers will look for a break to
pile in for a drop back into the major upward trendline. The red lines define the
average daily range for today.

UPCOMING CATALYSTS

Tomorrow we get the latest US Jobless Claims figures and a potential US-Iran
meeting in Islamabad. The focus is now on US-Iran negotiations.
