Asia FX muted despite Fed cut bets; Japanese yen slides after PM Ishiba resigns
Silver futures are currently trading at $41.57, stabilizing after a sharp rally that tested a session high of $42.29. This high aligned almost perfectly with the Daily Sell 2 ($42.22) and Weekly Sell 2 ($42.26) levels, creating a powerful confluence of resistance. The clustering of these overbought zones, alongside the Square of 9 harmonic resistance at $42.25, confirms a textbook inflection point where the probabilities overwhelmingly favor a mean reversion event.
The VC PMI framework highlights the Daily Mean ($41.47) and Weekly Mean ($40.09) as equilibrium magnets. While Silver holds above $41.47, near-term bullish control remains intact. However, the inability to sustain trade above $42.26 signals exhaustion. A corrective decline into the Daily Buy 1 ($41.05) and Daily Buy 2 ($40.68) levels is highly probable, with deeper reversion targets down to the Weekly VC PMI at $40.09.
From a cycle analysis perspective, the 30-day Gann cycle, anchored from the August 5 low at $39.15, projected a crest into the September 3–5 window. The $42.29 high satisfies this projection, reinforcing the time/price convergence. Looking forward, the next 30-day cycle trough projects into October 3–5, suggesting that Silver may now enter a corrective phase lasting several weeks. The broader 90-day cycle, measured from the July 7 pivot low ($38.65), points toward a significant crest in early October, adding weight to the idea of a retracement before then.
On the Square of 9 wheel, $42.26 harmonically aligns with the prior $39.15 pivot low, suggesting rotational balance has been achieved. This supports the thesis that the September high represents a completed cycle and that a reversal toward the $40.00–$39.50 zone is probable before the next bullish leg resumes.
The MACD (15m) has shifted into a choppy consolidation pattern, reflecting the market’s indecision at this inflection. Momentum signals are flattening, consistent with a topping process.
Trading Roadmap
- Resistance Zone: $41.81 – $42.26 (Daily/Weekly Sells + Square of 9)
- Support Zone: $41.05 – $40.68 (Daily Buys)
- Magnet Zone: $40.09 (Weekly VC PMI)
- Cycle Dates: September 3–5 (crest achieved), October 3–5 (next trough)
Conclusion: Silver is at the crest of its 30-day Gann cycle, topping at $42.29 into a Square of 9 harmonic resistance. With probabilities of mean reversion at 90–95%, the roadmap favors a pullback toward $41.05–$40.09, with deeper targets at $39.50–$39.15 into the October trough. Only a decisive breakout above $42.26 negates this scenario.
