Silver has been trading in an upward trend recently. Precious metal bounced off the lower limit of the ascending channel last week and today is testing local resistance at $28.27. Should a break lower occur, then the next target for bulls is located at $28.72 level. On the other hand, if sellers manage to halt advances here, then nearest support to watch lies at 23.6 Fibonacci retracement of the last upward wave which started at the end of March.
