Silver Price Analysis: Near 50 DMA, XAG/USD rises to mid-$23.00s

Silver attracted buyers around its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) on Friday, halting its previous day's regression from its highest level since April 2022. In the early European session, the precious metal maintains a moderately bullish tone, although the intraday increase lacks bullish confidence.

 

The XAG/USD has formed a rectangle pattern on the daily chart during the previous half-month, bouncing in a typical range. This indicates traders' hesitation and calls for care before putting aggressive direction bets. The inability to gain acceptance above the $24.50 supply zone overnight validates the trading range resistance, which should now serve as a pivot point.

 

Given that technical indications on the daily chart have only recently begun to drift into negative territory, it would be smart to await a sustained advance beyond the aforementioned barrier before putting bullish wagers. The XAG/USD pair might then attempt to recapture the $25.00 psychological level for the first time since April 2022. On the way to $26.00, the momentum could be extended towards the next significant obstacle near the $25.35 region.

 

Conversely, any further decline below the horizontal zone between $23.40 and $23.30 may continue to find support around the $23.00 to $22.95 region. This is followed by support in the $22.75 range, which, if forcefully broken, could pull the XAG/USD to the next key support near the $22.20-$22.15 zone before the $22.00 level.
