Silver (XAG/USD) retreated from a four-day high in the mid-$73.00s earlier this Tuesday, but maintained a positive bias for the third consecutive day, trading just above the $72.00 mark during the first half of the European session and up 3.0% for the day [1]. Despite this short-term strength, the broader technical outlook remains bearish, as XAG/USD continues to trade well below the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at approximately $75.00, which now acts as resistance rather than support [1].
Momentum indicators reinforce the downside pressure: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) remains below its signal line and in negative territory, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 41.83, below the 50 threshold, indicating persistent selling interest rather than oversold conditions [1]. Initial support is identified near $69.00, guarding the recent low at $67.85. A clear break below this support band could expose the next bearish target around $63.00, where the rising 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) offers more substantial medium-term support [1].
On the upside, immediate resistance is seen at the $75.00 area, where the 100-day SMA converges with a recent breakdown zone. A daily close above this level would be required to ease the prevailing bearish tone and potentially open the way toward $80.00 as the next resistance barrier [1]. However, the path of least resistance remains to the downside, and rallies are vulnerable to renewed selling pressure as long as XAG/USD trades below $75.00 [1].
CONCLUSION
Silver's price has shown short-term gains but remains under bearish technical pressure, with key resistance at $75.00 and downside targets near $63.00. Momentum indicators and moving averages suggest further weakness unless a decisive breakout occurs. The market takeaway is cautious, with rallies likely facing renewed selling unless the price closes above critical resistance levels.
