Silver recovered some ground on Wednesday as US Treasury bond yields plunged due to weaker-than-expected US jobs data. At the time of writing, the XAG/USD trades at $29.98 and gains 1.69%.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

A double top chart pattern emerged in Silver’s daily chart, opening the door for further losses. Although the grey metal climbed toward the May 24 low, turning resistance at $30.05, buyers are struggling to reclaim $30.00, paving the way for further downside.

If the XAG/USD falls below the latest cycle high seen on April 12 at $29.79, that would open the door to challenging $29.00. A breach of the latter will expose previous key resistance levels that turned support, like the May 18, 2021, high of $28.74, followed by the June 10, 2021, high of $28.34. Up next would be the ‘double top’ objective at $27.80.
