Silver: Sideways Trade Signals Imminent Gann Cycle Move

Immediate Technical Structure

Silver is trading just above its Daily VC PMI at $38.44, holding the short-term pivot after a rebound from Tuesday’s low of $37.515. This low occurred right above Daily Buy 2 ($37.57) and Weekly Buy 1 ($37.24), producing a textbook mean reversion bounce.

• Upside resistance: $38.91–$39.23 (Daily Sell 1 & 2)
• Downside supports: $38.08–$37.57, then $37.24 (weekly)

The current sideways consolidation is setting the stage for a breakout test into the next Gann time cycle window.

Gann Time Cycle Alignment

Using the most recent swing high on Aug 7 at $38.875 as the time anchor:

• 45° rotation: Aug 11–12 – price bottomed in this window.
  
  
• 90° rotation: Aug 14–15 – next directional change window, often a reversal pivot.
  
  
• 180° rotation: Aug 21 – potential major inflection date.

This means Aug 14–15 is the immediate “time trigger” where volatility could spike and price could break out of the current range.

Square of 9 – Price Harmonics

Mapping the Aug 7 high ($38.875) through the Square of 9 spiral:

• First harmonic resistance: $39.23 – aligns perfectly with Daily Sell 2.
  
  
• Next harmonic target: $39.78 – just shy of Weekly Sell 2 at $40.18.
  
  
• Downside harmonic support: $37.57 – matches Daily Buy 2 exactly.

The price harmonics and VC PMI levels are in near-perfect alignment, increasing confidence in these levels as high-probability turning points.

360-Day Cycle Context

Silver’s broader cycle count shows that we are entering the final third of the current 360-day rotation that began in late September 2024.

• Historically, this phase tends to produce countertrend rallies before the primary trend resumes.
  
  
• The last major cycle low was in late June 2025, meaning we are in the mid-cycle expansion phase—often characterized by sharp rallies followed by profit-taking near resistance.

Strategic Scenarios

Bullish Path

• Hold above $38.44 → Target $38.91 → $39.23 (Daily resistance cluster).
• Break above $39.23 during the Aug 14–15 window could accelerate to $39.78–$40.18.

Bearish Path

• Failure to hold $38.44 → Retest $38.08 → $37.57.
• Break below $37.57 risks deeper move toward $37.24 and $35.94 (Weekly Buy 2).
