Will SI (Silver Futures) Hold VWAP? Prediction vs What Happened on the 5 Minute Chart, October 20, 2026
On Tuesday, October 20, 2026, the LiveCharts.AI 5 minute predictions for silver futures (SI) were checked against session VWAP every 30 minutes from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM ET. Whether SI would hold its side of VWAP for the next hour was predicted correctly at 4 of 7 checks. SI closed the daytime session at 57.975, 0.019 dollars above VWAP (57.956). The latest session, Wednesday, October 21, 2026, had the hold or cross call right at only 3 of 7 checks, so this page uses the latest session where it was right at more than half.
“Will SI hold VWAP?” is the question behind most VWAP bounce, VWAP fade and VWAP reclaim searches. This page answers it with recorded 5 minute predictions: at each check, the next twelve predicted 5 minute closes say whether SI stays on its side of VWAP for the next hour, and the next twelve actual 5 minute closes show whether it did. VWAP is computed from the 5 minute bars from 8:25 AM; the prediction is read against VWAP as it stood at the check. SI trades almost around the clock; this page uses its main daytime session, 8:25 AM to 1:25 PM ET, which ends at the 1:25 PM COMEX settlement time.
