Silver heading south after latest rebound

Silver spent much of August on the front foot as it regained ground lost in the first week of the month.

However, that sharp decline on 6-9 August highlighted the ongoing bearish trend seen for this precious metal, with the commodity losing 18% over the past four months. Unfortunately for the silver bugs, that trend looks likely to persist from here.

The latest rebound took us back into the 61.8% Fibonacci resistance level at $24.81, with price turning lower since.

Meanwhile, looking at the four-hour chart we can see that the initial rally up through wedge resistance has since given way to a bearish breakdown. The decline through $23.75 confirms the bearish reversal signal, with further downside expected from here.

We are also seeing intraday lower highs take shape, providing opportunities for this trading on the shorter timeframes. The standard deviation channel highlights that intraday downtrend, with a break through $24.30 required to bring about a more positive near-term outlook. Until then, further downside looks likely from here.

    • Facebook owner Meta Platforms saw its shares down heavily in extended trade after revenue forecasts disappointed. Some analysts are also now questioning the staggering amounts of money Meta is investing in artificial intelligence. Written by: Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London   Publication date: Thursday 25 April 2024 10:28 Earnings per share came in at $4.71, comfortably above estimates of $4.32 and revenues up 27% year-on-year, at $36.46bln, above the forecasts of $36.16bln. That was the fastest rate of revenue expansion for any quarter since 2021. However, shares have quite clearly been priced for perfection as the outlook, however strong it is, quite clearly disappointed the market. Q2 revenue is expected at $36.5 to $39bln with the midpoint at $37.75bln, which would represent 18% year-over-year growth, but below analysts' average estimates of $38.3bln. However, the company is also expected to invest between $30-37bln into AI, possibly as much as $40bln, which some said was too much given current engagement. (AI Video Summary) Meta Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, experienced a significant stock drop post-market following its quarterly earnings report, despite beating earnings expectations with a share price of $4.71 against a forecast of $4.32, and posting revenues of $36.46 billion. Meta's aggressive investment in AI technology This drop was attributed to concerns over its aggressive investment in AI technology, with spending on AI expected to be between $30 to $40 billion. Despite initial investor trepidation, there's notable buying interest in the stock at the lower prices, with 87% of clients holding long positions. The heavy investment in AI technology continues to spark debate among investors regarding the company’s future direction.     This information has been prepared by IG, a trading name of IG Markets Limited.
