The intraday resistance seems to be at around 17.60 USD, and if the price jumps above this level, the short-term bullish outlook could be confirmed. The significant resistance is at the current cycle highs of 18.20 USD, and if bulls push the price beyond this zone, the long-term uptrend could push the price toward the psychological 20 USD.
Alternatively, the support seems to be near 17.30 USD, and if not held, silver could decline toward 17.00 USD, where it stopped this week.
