​​​​Silver price rangebound, while oil finds support and natural gas reaches trendline resistance

The silver price continues to find itself in a range, while oil has stabilised after recent losses. Copper’s rally has brought it back to trendline resistance.

​​​Silver stuck in a range ​

The price remains in a tight range between $22.50 and $23.50. For the moment, the buyers continue to defend the lower bound and have avoided any renewed turn lower. ​ ​Equally, however, gains above $23.50 have proven impossible to sustain, and this leaves the price awaiting a catalyst for a breakout from this current range.

​Brent holds at 100-day moving average ​

After retreating over the past week the price has found support at the 100-day SMA. ​ ​Further gains and a move above $87.20 might help to provide a more bullish short-term view, targeting the 50-day SMA and then perhaps on towards the mid-October high. ​ ​Sellers will need a close below $84.20 to open the way to another testo of the early October low.

​Copper back at trendline resistance ​

The price gas returned to trendline resistance from the late August peak, and also to the 50-day SMA. ​ ​Sellers will be on the lookout for a close back below 8100 to indicate a lower high has been created. This might then see the price head back towards the October lows at 7870. ​ ​A close above 8200 then allows the price to push towards 8400, and then towards the early September highs around 8500.
