The futures blew past my 29.615 target, hitting an interim high ten cents above it before settling into a day-long consolidation in a narrow range.  The pause looks like it’s about to bear fruit, since the futures are butting up against the intraday high this evening with little sign of being intimidated.  Each new stab has been creating a fresh impulse leg on the hourly chart, so the rally appears healthy (as opposed to deceptive).  For now, use the 30.190 target of the pattern shown as a minimum objective. It’ll be a lock-up, as far as I’m concerned, if the futures exceed its sibling midpoint, 29.760. ______ UPDATE (9 :00 p.m. ET):  Silver popped just as I was putting the finishing touches on the tout.
