All signs on the daily chart are bullish now that the futures have exceeded the secondary peak at 19.270 recorded on June 28. That created a robust impulse leg by extending the thrust past an”external” high in addition to the two “internals” already surpassed. Since there has been no pullback yet, bulls could stretch for a second external (19.500, on June 21) or even a third (the May 13 watershed at 19.865) before taking a breather. More immediately, they’ll need to push decisively above a midpoint resistance at 19.195 to be deemed ready for the finishing stroke to its ‘D’ sibling at 19.390. Sunday night’s lazy poke above the midpoint was not a bad start on this, considering the hour. Bulls will be in fine shape, short-term, unless the futures print below 18.550 today. ______ UPDATE (9:36 a.m. EDT): That 19.195 midpoint is giving Silver way too much trouble this morning, telling us SI is unlikely to head higher at the moment. A feint at the opening topped a penny above the pivot, at 19.205, but it was all downhill from there. To reclaim the high ground today, bulls will need to print 19.285.
