As the Fed week gets underway, the silver price (XAG / USD) accepts offers to renew intraday lows near $22.40, reversing from the greatest levels since early February.
In doing so, the brilliant metal reverses from the horizontal area consisting of multiple peaks marked since February 3 at approximately $22.60.
Notably, the overbought conditions of the RSI (14) aid the XAG/USD in trimming recent gains near the multi-day high.
However, optimistic Silver purchasers are buoyed by bullish MACD signals and the metal's sustained trading above critical support levels.
A one-week-old ascending trend line near $21.90 and the 200-bar Exponential Moving Average (EMA) near $21.65 provide immediate crucial support.
The early-month swing high near $21.30 and the $21.00 round figure can act as additional downside filters for XAG/USD bears before targeting the monthly low of $19.90.
In the meantime, the Silver price rise above the aforementioned resistance line near $22.60 requires confirmation from the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the metal's February-March decline, which is located close to $22.85.
After that, a rise to the Year-To-Date (YTD) high around $24.65 cannot be ruled out.
Silver prices are expected to decline overall, but the bears have a long way to go before regaining control.
