XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
From a technical standpoint, XAG/USD buyers failed to hold Siver’s quote above the psychological $29.00 level after reaching a year-to-date (YTD) high of $29.79. That exacerbated the grey’s metal drop toward the $28.00 mark, opening the door for further downside. During the last couple of days, price action formed a ‘dark cloud cover’ that needs confirmation below the April 15 low of $27.59.
Momentum was extremely bullish, though the Relative Strength Index (RSI) exited from overbought conditions during the day, sponsoring a leg-down on Silver. That said, XAG/USD could witness a pullback before buyers attempt to challenge the $29.00 mark.
Given the backdrop, Siver’s first support would be $27.59, followed by the $27.00 mark. Further losses are seen at $26.29, the April 5 low. On the flip side, if buyers keep the XAG/USD spot price above $28.00, the next resistance levels are seen at the June 10, 2021, high at $28.28, followed by the May 18, 2021 high at $28.74.
