It shows that neither bulls nor bears could change the balance of the market as price volatility on the monthly chart faded and we reached the apex of the triangle where the trendlines converge.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Last month silver tested the downside of the figure \u2013 the price briefly dropped below the trendline but couldn\u2019t stay there and moved back inside of the pattern making that a false break. Visually, there is room for one more monthly candle in case this month doesn\u2019t deliver the breakout of the pattern.<\/p>\n<p>Triangles are regular patterns on my charts so you already know how to calculate the targets. I measure the height of the pattern from the highest peak at $21.10 to the lowest valley at $13.7 (the height = $7.4) and add it to or subtract it from the breakout point. The upside trigger point is located at the $18.1 mark, therefore the upside target is set at the $25.5 level. The support would be broken below the $16.5 level and the downside target is located at the $9.1 mark.<\/p>\n<p>We should closely watch both sides of the pattern for further clues. The breakout and a close above or below the pattern is needed for trade validation.<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-238\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form id=\"polls_form_238\" class=\"wp-polls-form\" action=\"\/blog\/index.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_238_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"62f0fb11a8\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poll_id\" value=\"238\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Which side of the triangle do you think will be broken?<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-238-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-757\" name=\"poll_238\" value=\"757\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-757\">Upside<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-758\" name=\"poll_238\" value=\"758\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-758\">Downside<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><input type=\"button\" name=\"vote\" value=\"   Vote   \" class=\"Buttons\" onclick=\"poll_vote(238);\" onkeypress=\"poll_result(238);\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#ViewPollResults\" onclick=\"poll_result(238); return false;\" onkeypress=\"poll_result(238); return false;\" title=\"View Results Of This Poll\">View Results<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-238-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ino.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n\n<p>The next chart shows the big picture and the major levels to watch.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #003380; font-size: 17px;\">Chart 2.

We can see how the 2008 peak price ($21.31) echoed even after eight years in 2016 putting up a strong barrier (highlighted in red dashed horizontal line) for the silver, which it couldn\u2019t surpass. In addition to that, there is another object from the past \u2013 the red trendline resistance, which originates from the 2012 peaks. It is interesting that it intersects the above-mentioned horizontal resistance right above the current monthly candle making a double resistance for silver at the $21.10-21.31 level.<\/p>\n<p>I added two more levels to watch to the opposite sides of the current price:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> The former support at the $26.1 level, which now acts as a strong resistance; it perfectly corresponds with the Symmetric Triangle\u2019s upside target. (Chart 1)<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> Strong support at the major low established at the end of 2015 at the $13.65 mark. The downside target for the Symmetric Triangle is set much lower and it fits much better with the 2008 low at the $8.45 level, but we shouldn\u2019t ignore it anyway as it proved to be powerful reversing the price to $20+ area.<\/p>\n<p>Intelligent trades!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Meet Aibek Burabeyev\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ino.com\/blog\/meet-aibek-burabayev\/\">Aibek Burabayev<\/a><br \/>\nINO.com Contributor, Metals<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px; font-style: italic;\">Disclosure: This contributor has no positions in any stocks mentioned in this article.
