NY Silver COMEX Futures closed today at 242160 and is trading up about 35% for the year from last year's settlement of 179210. Up to now, this market has been rising for 4 months going into August suggesting that this has been a bull market trend on the monthly time level which has been confirmed by electing all of our model's long-term Bullish Reversals from the key low. The NY Silver COMEX Futures opened within last year's trading range which was 197500 to 142650. Right now, the market is still trading within last year's range with the last print at 242160. The last time such a similar pattern took place was 1995. Nonetheless, the market is still trading above the opening print for the year which was at 179050. As long as this market remains trading above 189575 yet above the opening print on a closing basis, then a similar year-end closing in this posture will warn that we could have a knee-jerk low in place this year. DAILY TIMING ARRAY PERSPECTIVE On the Daily Level, regarding the timing, there was a reasonable potential of a decline moving into today was Fri. 31st, which is reinforced by also a Directional Change Target given that the previous session also closed strong above the former high with the opposite trend thereafter into Mon. 3rd. We have a Daily Directional Change target due the day of Fri. 31st. This lines up with a turning point so in this case we can see at least an intraday event, or a turning point based on the close. Don't forget, a Directional Change can also be a sharp dramatic move in the same direction, not just a change in direction.

Intraday Projected Breakout Resistance Today...... 237325 Previous... 239650 Tomorrow... 241350 HYPOTHETICAL MODEL ANALYSIS Hypothetical Models, we see that we have Weekly Bearish Reversals that would be generated if we see another new high penetrating 262750. These hypothetical Tentative Bearish Reversals would rest at 147700, 174660, 179360, and 190900, whereas a close below the previous low 224600 would tend to suggest that these Tentative Reversals will then become fixed as long as the high holds thereafter for at least several days. Moreover, the election of any of these Tentative Bearish Reversals during this next session would signal a decline is unfolding and that such a high may stand. However, if we continue to make new highs, then these Tentative Reversals will be replaced by a new set until the high becomes fixed.

This is currently providing daily technical overhead resistance and as long as this market maintains a closing below it, then it remains in a bearish consolidation phase on this level. After the historical high was established during 2011, a major low was created on 03/18/2020 at 116400 which was 97 days from that major high. The Uptrend line resides at 229204 providing the technical underlying support. The top of the Uptrend Channel stands at 267354 which provides the general overall trading channel and only exceeding that on a closing basis will signal a real breakout to the upside while a break of the bottom defined by the Uptrend Line will signal a move to the downside thereafter. The perspective from our Energy Models, the market is making new intraday highs in price and our Energy Models are flipping from negative to positive. The low on our Energy Models took place 2 days ago. Therefore, this immediate rally may prove to be short-term unless this model begins to create new highs.
