Silver Price Forecast: XAG/USD holds above $33.00 in holiday-thinned trade

Source Fxstreet
  • XAG/USD climbs to $33.47, eyes key resistance at $33.68 and $34.00 amid sustained bullish bias.
  • Price action leans bullish; break above $33.68 may trigger test of $34.58.
  • Support seen at $32.90, with 50-day SMA at $32.74 as next downside target.

Silver price finished Monday’s session with minimal gains as the Greenback’s sell-off extended for the beginning of the week, even though financial markets in the US and the UK remained closed for holidays. At the time of writing, XAG/USD trades at $33.47.

XAG/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The grey metal remains consolidating, though slightly tilted to the upside. Stir resistance is seen at $33.68, the April 25 high, but a decisive breach of that level paves the way for testing at $34.00. Once these two levels are cleared, look for a challenge of the March 26 peak of $34.58.

For a bearish scenario, XAG/USD needs to slide below the May 23 swing low of $32.90. This opens the path to challenge the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $32.74. A decisive break will expose the 100-day SMA at $32.11, followed by the 200-day SMA at $31.40.

Despite being bullish, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is flat, indicating sideways price action. However, price action and RSI suggest that further upside is seen.

Silver FAQs

Silver is a precious metal highly traded among investors. It has been historically used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Although less popular than Gold, traders may turn to Silver to diversify their investment portfolio, for its intrinsic value or as a potential hedge during high-inflation periods. Investors can buy physical Silver, in coins or in bars, or trade it through vehicles such as Exchange Traded Funds, which track its price on international markets.

Silver prices can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can make Silver price escalate due to its safe-haven status, although to a lesser extent than Gold's. As a yieldless asset, Silver tends to rise with lower interest rates. Its moves also depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAG/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Silver at bay, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to propel prices up. Other factors such as investment demand, mining supply – Silver is much more abundant than Gold – and recycling rates can also affect prices.

Silver is widely used in industry, particularly in sectors such as electronics or solar energy, as it has one of the highest electric conductivity of all metals – more than Copper and Gold. A surge in demand can increase prices, while a decline tends to lower them. Dynamics in the US, Chinese and Indian economies can also contribute to price swings: for the US and particularly China, their big industrial sectors use Silver in various processes; in India, consumers’ demand for the precious metal for jewellery also plays a key role in setting prices.

Silver prices tend to follow Gold's moves. When Gold prices rise, Silver typically follows suit, as their status as safe-haven assets is similar. The Gold/Silver ratio, which shows the number of ounces of Silver needed to equal the value of one ounce of Gold, may help to determine the relative valuation between both metals. Some investors may consider a high ratio as an indicator that Silver is undervalued, or Gold is overvalued. On the contrary, a low ratio might suggest that Gold is undervalued relative to Silver.
