Silver is not looking good here long-term, sure we can get a few bounces upwards but an event occurred two days ago that put the nail in this precious metal coffin for at least a few months and possible a 15% decline- that event is the "Murder Cross".   The murder cross is similar to the "Death Cross" of the 50 ma crossing below the 200 ma but the "Murder Cross" is the 70 ema crossing the 200 ema.  This cross eliminates many of the false signals that the "Death Cross" can give.  Here is a link to a post explaining it more.
