Silver Index is Locked in Bump-and-Run Pattern
The silver index is in the late part of the “Bump” phase and has not entered the “Run” phase yet. As shown in the chart below, recently silver prices have swinged in the region between the warning line and the lead-in trendline. The “Run” phase could happen once prices break down the lead-in trendline. The silver index may also be in the progress of a “Dead-Cat Bounce” pattern (see here) to start a postbounce decline. The lead-in trendline now is a critical line to be watched out.

The gold index has not got into the “Plunge” phase yet. It could be in wave 26 of George Lindsay’s “Three-Peaks and Domed House” model (see here).
U.S. Dollar is Breaking the upper boundary of 12-Month Falling Wedge Pattern
