■Silver steadies following Monday’s drop below $31.00, showing slight recovery.

■RSI indicates upward momentum with potential for a ‘double bottom’ breakout if $31.00 is cleared.

■Key resistance at $32.29 and YTD high of $32.51; support at $30.18 and $28.57 if sellers take control.


Silver price stabilizes above the $30.50 area for the second straight day, following Monday’s losses of more than 1.20% that tumbled the grey’s metal price beneath the $31.00 figure. At the time of writing, the XAG/USD traded at $30.79 and gained some 0.03% on Tuesday.


XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook


Silver remains upward biased, with momentum backing buyers, as shown by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). Further, a ‘double bottom’ looms, though the tug-of-war between bulls and bears around the crucial June 21 high turned support at $30.84 remains, keeping buyers at bay.


However, if they clear the $31.00 mark, the next resistance would be the May 29 high at 32.29, ahead of testing the year-to-date (YTD) high of $32.51. A breach of the latter will expose the psychological $33.00 figure.


Conversely, if sellers drag XAG/USD’s price below the July 5 low of $30.18, that will expose the $30.00 mark. Once hurdle, the next stop would be the June 26 last cycle low at $28.57.
