Silver price (XAG/USD) attempts to snap its five-day winning streak, retreating from the year-to-date highs and trading near $27.00 per troy ounce during early European hours on Thursday. The price of the Silver received upward support as the US Dollar lost ground due to the dovish sentiment surrounding the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest rates trajectory.

Silver price could find key support around the major level of $26.50, following the psychological level of $26.00, in conjunction with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $25.94. A break below this level could exert downward pressure on navigating the region around a major support level at $25.50 and the 14-Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $25.43.

Technical analysis suggests a bullish confirmation for the Silver price. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned above the 50 mark, indicating strength in buying momentum. Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a divergence above the signal line and remains above the centerline.

On the upside, the year-to-date high of $27.33 could act as an immediate resistance, followed by the major level at $27.50. A breakthrough above the latter could lead the Silver price to explore the region around the psychological level of $28.00.

Japanese PM Takaichi nabs unprecedented victory – US data eyed this week

I do not think I would be exaggerating to say that Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s snap general election gamble paid off over the weekend – and then some. This secured the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) an unprecedented mandate just three months into her tenure.
