Technical Analysis
Market Positioning
Where does this asset sit across four dimensions? Extension (how stretched price is vs its own history), Momentum (RSI, MACD, rate of change), Flow (volume and money flow), and Volatility (how quiet or active). Each bar shows a 0–100 percentile compared to the last year of data. Key levels show the nearest demand and supply zones from our confluence analysis.
Key Levels
Looking at the full picture for iShares Silver Trust (SLV): extension is deeply below average — at historically low levels (10th percentile), momentum is below average (18th percentile), flow is below average (19th percentile), volatility is slightly above average (56th percentile). All three directional dimensions — extension, momentum, and flow — are in the lower portion of their historical ranges. The asset is under broad pressure, with price compressed, upward energy depleted, and selling pressure elevated. There is no positive divergence to point to. The key to watch is whether flow stabilises above the 40th percentile while extension remains compressed. That combination would represent a historically more significant setup.
