50 EMA: Acting as a dynamic support level, reinforcing the current range-bound movement.

Support levels:

$30.18-$30.15: Immediate support zone; a breakdown may lead to $29.67-$29.64.

$29.17: Major support; a breach could trigger a more significant bearish move.

Impact of upcoming U.S. economic data:

Employment data (ADP, NFP, unemployment rate): Key indicators for Fed policy outlook, which impacts silver as a hedge against inflation.

Economic data monitoring: Stay alert during data releases as they could trigger sharp moves in silver prices.
