Update 7:24pm EST - The fed meetings brought the price of silver higher. The move earlier that is circled in the photo is a potential for a failed move. If it is a failed move, the fast move has not happened yet, but should happen by the open on Wednesday. If this does not happen then the $18.18 level is going to be huge. The reason for this is if the support is not able to hold then the failed move will be this afternoons action to highs and the expected price target to the down side would be $17.67 for a fast move.
