Silver Holds Its Bullish Structure While Working Through a Time-Based Reset

Published 12/16/2025, 12:56 PM

Silver remains in a structurally bullish trend but is now entering a time-sensitive decision window where momentum, geometry, and psychology converge. The recent high near $65.08 aligns with a Square of 9 resistance vector and coincides with a late-cycle exhaustion phase following a sharp vertical advance. This move reflects classic late-stage momentum behavior rather than a fresh impulse wave.

From a time-cycle perspective, the market has completed a short-term 5-day cycle crest and is pressing into a broader 15–20 day rhythm that often produces either consolidation or corrective retracement before trend continuation. The sharp downside spike seen late in the week reflects cycle pressure rather than trend failure, suggesting distribution rather than liquidation.

Square of 9 mapping places $65.80–$66.00 as a major harmonic resistance band, aligning with the Daily Sell 2 and upper channel geometry. Price rejection beneath this zone reinforces that silver has reached a geometric balance point, where time and price temporarily neutralize upside momentum. Conversely, the $63.15–$62.05 zone corresponds to a Square of 9 support arc and VC PMI pivot balance, making it a critical mean-reversion magnet.

The VC PMI weekly pivot near $61.62 represents the structural line separating trend continuation from deeper corrective risk. As long as price holds above this level, the dominant trend remains intact. A deeper pullback toward $60.50 would align with Square of 9 rotational symmetry and complete a healthy cycle reset without violating the larger bullish structure.

Momentum indicators support this interpretation. The MACD has rolled modestly negative but remains shallow, consistent with cycle digestion rather than trend reversal. Volume expansion on the downside spike suggests emotional liquidation by weak hands, often seen near intermediate cycle lows.

Looking forward, the next cycle inflection window arrives within the next 3–5 trading sessions, where price should either reclaim the Daily VC PMI zone near $63–64 or complete a rotational decline into Square-aligned support. A successful base above $62 would set the stage for another attempt toward $66–68, the next Square of 9 expansion band.

Conclusion: Silver is not breaking—it’s rotating in time. Respect the cycle, honor the geometry, and let mean reversion work before the next directional expansion.
