Silver Closing in on Support

Silver has been trading to the downside for the last month and moreover, it's been depreciating on the long term since mid-2016 when it reached a high of $21. The recent downtrend began in the middle of the last month at $17.30 and yesterday the precious metal reached the lowest low at 14.95.

Silver is now gravitating towards support level between 14.90 and 14.70. If those support levels are broken, 14.55 is seen as the next one and the major support is seen at the Dec 2016 low at 13.63.

Currently, the US dollar is having a rally against major peers and investors feel secure to divest of Gold and Silver for the highly regarded Greenback.

Following developments next month could give us key insights regarding the direction of the precious metals.
