What Would Convince You That a Silver Bounce Has Legs?

Silver was up around 1.9% in Reuters’ Monday report as weaker US jobs data reduced expectations of an October Fed hike. The dollar and Treasury yields were still putting pressure on precious metals, though.

That leaves an interesting question: what would convince you this bounce can last?

For me, one green session doesn’t settle much. I’d want to see silver hold its gains through the next round of economic data, especially if the dollar stays firm.

A weaker jobs report can support metals by changing the rate outlook. It also raises questions about economic demand. With silver, both sides matter, which is why I’m cautious about reading every softer data release as automatically bullish.

Curious what people here actually use to judge a move:

• Silver holding a particular price level
• A weaker dollar or lower real yields
• Gold and silver moving higher together
• Stronger physical demand or tighter availability
• Something else entirely

And what would make you change your mind?

Interested in the reasoning as much as the price targets. What separates a bounce you’d fade from one you’d trust?
