We’ll set the bar at 10.445 today to tell us whether buyers are merely kicking the tires. A print at that price would surpass two “externals” on the 15-minute chart, creating a robust impulse leg that could set the tone for the rest of the week. I’ve included a chart that show the location of the crucial second external peak. _______ UPDATE: Silver so far is holding up better than gold in pre-dawn trading. If the December contract can get past a midpoint resistance at 9.930, it would open a path to as high as 10.205 over the very near term.
