Silver price tumbled more than 3.50% during the North American session after the Federal Reserve revealed “hawkish tilted” minutes that showed some officials would like to raise rates if inflation warranted it. Therefore, precious metals like Gold and Silver trimmed some of the weekly gains. The XAG/USD trades at $30.81 after reaching a daily high of $32.19.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

Silver’s uptrend remains intact, but due to the speed and strength of the move, the grey metal was subject to a mean reversion move. The buyer’s momentum has faded, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) was overbought and punched below the 70.00 level, hinting sellers to step in.

With that said, the XAG/USD first support would be the $30.00 psychological level. On further weakness, the next floor level would be the April 12 high turned support at $29.79, followed by $29.00. The next key support levels would be the May 18, 2021, high at $28.74, and the June 10, 2021, high at $28.28.
