Trend
-----
Wave (5) remains complete at 121.64, and silver continues to track a higher-degree ABC corrective structure following the powerful late-2025 impulse.
The rebound from the February lows has now completed Wave (B) beneath the retracement resistance zone.
Price is now transitioning into Wave (C).
However, the developing structure increasingly resembles a Wyckoff reaccumulation pattern rather than a simple bearish continuation.
In this interpretation:
Wave (A) created the automatic reaction after the blow-off top.
Wave (B) represents the range-building phase.
Wave (C) may act as a spring โ a final shakeout before the next major bull leg.
The macro uptrend remains intact as long as 64.10 holds structurally.

Recent Price Action
===================
Following the Wave (5) peak at 121.64, silver completed:
โข A sharp Wave (A) liquidation into the low-70s
โข A recovery rally reclaiming the Ichimoku structure
โข A final Wave (B) rebound into the retracement resistance zone
Your updated chart shows:
โข Rejection beneath the 92โ95 resistance cluster
โข Price rolling over toward the 87 pivot zone
โข Volatility compressing ahead of the March 17 Henka-Bi timing window
This aligns well with the transition from B-wave completion into the early phase of Wave (C).
But importantly, the structure still resembles a reaccumulation range rather than a trend reversal.
*
Interpretation
==============
The higher-degree corrective structure remains intact:
Wave (A): 121.64 โ ~70
Wave (B): ~70 โ ~92โ95
Wave (C): now developing
Your chart marks the key fib projections for the potential Wave (C) leg:
Wave (C) = 0.618 โ 60.83
Wave (C) = 1.000 โ 38.85
However, the 60โ65 zone aligns closely with another technical concept:
A Wyckoff Spring.
This is a temporary break beneath support designed to:
โข Trigger panic selling
โข Trap shorts
โข Allow large players to accumulate liquidity
before launching the next major markup phase.
If silver briefly breaks the 64โ70 support zone before reversing sharply higher, the move would fit the classic spring and reaccumulation pattern seen frequently in commodity bull markets.
In that scenario, Wave (C) and the spring shakeout may effectively be the same event.

Technical Structure
===================
Major Resistance
----------------
121.64 โ Wave (5) peak
*
Intermediate Resistance
-----------------------
92.67 โ 0.618 retracement
95.36 โ B-wave extension zone
*
Support
-------
87.19 โ current pivot level
82.64 โ NT support (cloud shelf)
70.00โ72.00 โ key structural support
64.10 โ macro trend pivot
*
Corrective Targets
------------------
60.83 โ Wave (C) 0.618 target
38.85 โ full Wave (C) projection
The 60โ65 region is the most important zone, as it represents both the Wave (C) projection and a potential Wyckoff spring.
As long as 64.10 ultimately holds, the macro bull structure remains intact.
*
Timing
======
The next key timing cluster is the Henka-Bi on March 17.
Henka-Bi events during corrective phases often mark:
โข the start of Wave (C) acceleration
โข or the spring reversal point
Possible scenarios:
If silver falls into March 17 โ spring / pivot low possible
If silver stabilizes โ timing window may trigger the breakdown
If volatility expands โ C-wave may accelerate into the 60s
At present, the timing cluster sits directly inside the early stage of the corrective leg.
*
Summary
=======
โข Wave (5) remains complete at 121.64
โข Silver is inside a higher-degree ABC correction
โข Wave (B) completed near 92โ95
โข Wave (C) is now developing
โข Henka-Bi March 17 sits inside the corrective timing window
โข Key downside targets remain 60.83 and 38.85
โข The 60โ65 zone may form a Wyckoff spring
โข 64.10 remains the macro line in the sand
The long-term bull structure remains intact.
But the correction may still produce one final shakeout move before the next major bullish impulse begins.
