XSLV was close to closing above the May 13th high of $19.85. When/if this resistance line is breached, it may provide a new support level and a new bottom to the trading range. If the price continues to rise, the 15 day moving average should cross over the 100 day moving average which is another added Bullish signal.

With the embedded Stochastics, we should continue to see rising Silver prices going forward and a possible test of the 2008 high of $21.35 (red line).
