This provides a basis for further increases in borrowing costs, which remain low. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda is unlikely to offer many clues about the timing of the next rate hike, as Prime Minister Sanae Takaichis decision to hold a snap election next month has triggered a new round of market volatility, complicating the decision. The BOJ is currently in a delicate position, needing to curb yen short selling through hawkish rhetoric while simultaneously preventing further increases in bond yields due to expectations of a significant increase in spending by the Takaichi administration.

Rising wedge confirmation lures XAG/USD bears towards $22.00, according to Silver Price Analysis

Silver price (XAG/USD) remains depressed around $22.30, circling intraday lows during a three-day downtrend entering Wednesday's European session.

 

The recent decline of the precious metal may be attributable to the affirmation of a two-week-old rising wedge bearish chart pattern and the bearish MACD signals.

 

Consequently, the price is poised to test the 200-Simple Moving Average (SMA) support level near $21.50 before falling to its theoretical target of $17.10.

 

Notably, the swing high from late February and the current monthly low, respectively $22.00 and $19.90, can serve as additional downside filters during the XAG/USD's continued decline.

 

In contrast, the wedge's lower line functions as immediate resistance for the Silver price near $22.70.

 

The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the metal's February-March decline, also known as the "golden Fibonacci ratio," could then challenge Silver purchasers near $22.85.

 

In the event that the XAG/USD remains firmer than $22.85, the top line of the aforementioned bearish chart pattern will join the late January swing low to emphasize $23.00 as a formidable barrier for the Silver bulls to overcome before regaining control.
