Silver (XAG/USD) price might well have changed trend in the short-term after breaking above the key May 7 highs at $27.51.

4-hour Chart
Silver has risen strongly since bottoming at the beginning of May. It has broken above the last higher low of the downtrend and breached all the major moving averages – the 50, 100 and 200 Simple Moving Averages (SMA). Bullish momentum has been strong during the up move. The sequence of higher highs and higher lows – of peaks and troughs – is now also rising rather than falling.
The break above the May 7 highs now signals the likelihood of a continuation higher. The first upside target lies at $27.74, and this has almost been met. The next target after that lies at around $28.80 where the consolidation that formed the multiple Head and Shoulders price pattern in the first half of April is concentrated. Beyond that there is the possibility of a retest of the $30.00 long-term range highs.
