XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
Silver is still bullish biased though joining today and yesterday price action completed a ‘bearish engulfing,’ chart pattern. Momentum shifted in sellers’ favor as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) turned bearish and opened the door for further losses.
That said, XAG/USD's first support would be the 50-day moving average (DMA) at $29.09; it will expose $29.00. Breaching this level could lead to the MTD low of $28.66, ahead of a potential drop towards the 100-DMA at $26.60.
On the flip side, if XAG/USD resumes its uptrend, the next resistance level is the June 7 high of $31.54. Clearing this level would target $32.00 before challenging the year-to-date (YTD) high of $32.51.
