Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD hits eight-day low, technicals suggest further declines
- Silver price drops to $22.43, approaching key technical support that may indicate a nearing bottom.
- Technical analysis points to a potential decline toward yearly lows if prices fall decisively below $22, showcasing bearish trends.
- A rebound above $23.00 might steer silver towards challenging the $23.30 resistance level, giving bulls an opportunity for recovery.
Silver price falls to an eight-day low of $22.43, though it appears to have bottomed out at around the $22.40-50 area. The advance of US Treasury bond yields capped the nonyielding metal, with XAG/USD trading at $22.49, down 0.04%.
XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The daily chart portrays that XAG/USD has extended its losses to levels last seen at around mid-February after briefly testing the confluence of the 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages (DMAs) at around the $23.00-$23.30 area. Even though Silver’s price action remains sideways, it’s tilted to the downside, but sellers must step in and drag prices below the $22.00 figure. Once achieved, that would open the door to test the yearly lows of $21.93, the November 13 low of $21.88, and the October 3 low of $20.69.
On the other hand, if XAG/USD buyers lift the spot price above $23.00, look for a re-test of the $23.30 area.
