20.09.202417:03 Forex Analysis & Reviews: XAG/USD: Analysis and Forecast

Today, silver has attracted buyers for the second consecutive day, maintaining its gains above the key $31.00 level, near a two-month high.

From a technical perspective, the recent breakout above the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) has been interpreted as a new bullish trigger. Additionally, buying activity during yesterday's decline, paired with positive oscillators on the daily chart, suggests that the path of least resistance for XAG/USD is upward.

The positive outlook is further supported by the fact that silver has held above the $31.00 round level. Consequently, a move beyond the intermediate resistance at $31.45, towards the July high near $31.75 and the key $32.00 level, appears likely. The momentum may continue, possibly enabling silver to challenge the ten-year high reached in May.

On the other hand, weakness below the $31.00 level will encounter strong support around $30.70. Any further decline could still be viewed as a buying opportunity, as long as the price remains above the psychological level of $30.00. Additional selling pressure may weaken the buyers, and a convincing break below this level could accelerate the decline, dragging XAG/USD towards $29.45 and testing the next significant support at $29.00. A move below this level would turn the market sentiment in favor of the bears.
