Silver Price Analysis: Consolidating in a pennant pattern

Silver is trapped in a pennant pattern, according to the 4-hour chart.
A breakout would imply a resumption of the uptrend from lows near $19.

Silver is being squeezed in a narrowing price range for the eighth trading day. At press time, the metal is trading largely unchanged on the day at $24.31 per ounce.

The 4-hour chart shows the metal has carved out a pennant pattern.

A break above the pennant resistance, currently at $24.56, would confirm the breakout and signal a continuation of the rally from the July 17 lows near $19. That would expose the recent high of $26.20.

Alternatively, a pennant breakdown would imply bearish reversal and open the doors for a pullback to $22.25 (pennant low). Acceptance under that level would expose the psychological support of $20.

Gold remains supported by China's buying and USD weakness as traders eye US data

Gold struggles to capitalize on its intraday move up and remains below the $5,100 mark heading into the European session amid mixed cues. Data released over the weekend showed that the People's Bank of China extended its buying spree for a 15th month in January. Moreover, dovish US Fed expectations and concerns about the central bank's independence drag the US Dollar lower for the second straight day, providing an additional boost to the non-yielding yellow metal.

Cardano (ADA) steadies at $0.27 at the time of writing on Monday after slipping more than 5% in the previous week. On-chain data indicate a bearish trend, with certain whales offloading ADA.
