Silver futures are trading near $38.85, consolidating after last week’s powerful advance from a cycle low of $36.96 into the recent peak of $39.24. The market is currently testing the Daily Buy 1 level ($38.85) while maintaining support above Daily Buy 2 ($38.59), reinforcing the idea that price is stabilizing within a bullish framework. The Weekly VC PMI Pivot ($38.37) is acting as a critical fulcrum, attracting both buying and selling flows as traders prepare for the next directional move.

From a mean reversion standpoint, Silver remains well aligned with the VC PMI methodology. The weekly support zone of $37.64–$38.37 represents a strong reversion-to-the-mean structure, where probabilities favor higher prices as long as this area holds. If this zone is defended, the market projects reversion toward the Daily Pivot ($39.08) and ultimately the Daily Sell 1 level ($39.24). A sustained breakout above $39.24 would confirm renewed bullish momentum, opening the pathway toward $39.75–$40.00.

The Fibonacci retracement framework adds confluence to this view. The rally from $36.96 to $39.24 has seen pullbacks into the 38.2% retracement ($38.26), with buyers stepping in decisively. This level, alongside the weekly pivot, serves as a structural anchor that validates bullish continuation. Below $38.26, the 50% retracement ($38.01) and 61.8% retracement ($37.76) become tactical support levels. Only a weekly close below $37.64 would shift the bias toward retesting the $36.90 low.

Overlaying Gann cycle analysis, the 30-day cycle initiated on August 7th (36.96 low) suggests that the market is approaching a cycle top window into September 6–7. This cycle turning point warns of heightened volatility into early September, where price could either confirm the uptrend with a breakout above $39.24 or rotate back toward mean reversion levels near $38.00. On a broader scale, the 360-day cycle positions Silver within an accumulation phase, projecting expansion into 2025–2026. This suggests that the present consolidation is not merely noise, but part of a longer-term structure building energy for a major move through the $40 barrier.

Trading Coach Directive

For short-term traders, long positions should be considered between $38.85–$38.59, with protective stops under $37.64. Profit targets include $39.24, followed by $39.75–$40.00. Breakout confirmation above $39.24 favors extending positions. For intermediate traders, managing volatility into the September cycle window is critical. Longer-term investors should view this period as a strategic accumulation zone, with the expectation that Silver’s 360-day cycle expansion will push prices significantly higher into 2026.
