Silver Price Analysis: Bears waiting for short trade setup below support structure

• Silver is consolidating and not showing any signs of conviction either way.
• Bears need the price to break structure and greatest it with failures to tilt the short-term bias in their favour.

Silver is reluctant to go down although a triple-top is now in play on the hourly chart which adds weight to the bearish case.

At this juncture, a triple top seems to be in play as the struggles to get into gear in a phase of consolidation.
