Silver four-hourly chart
On the four-hourly chart, the 50-hour simple moving average (SMA) continues to act as a dynamic resistance at $25.00, which coincides with the downward sloping line.
A sustained break above the $25.00 area would call for a test of the first hurdle near the $25.25 horizontal resistance zone. The white metal could then target Thursday’s high near the $25.60 region.
Further up, the next barrier is located at the highs of March 22 near the $25.80 neighborhood.
