Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD stays defensive near $25.00 inside ascending triangle
|- Silver struggles to extend bounce off weekly low inside immediate bearish chart pattern.
- Sustained trading below previous support, sluggish Momentum keep sellers hopeful.
- Bulls need $25.40 breakout for fresh entries to target August month’s top.
Silver (XAG/USD) remains sidelined around $25.00, inside a one-week-old symmetrical triangle bearish formation during Thursday’s Asian session.
That said, the bright metal’s failure to jump back beyond the support-turned-resistance line from October 03, around $25.20, joins Momentum line’s retreat to tease silver sellers.
However, a clear downside break of the stated triangle’s support, around $24.85 at the latest, as well as a break of the 200-HMA level of $24.75, becomes necessary for the bear’s entry.
Following that, November 08 swing high near $24.50 and a two-week-long horizontal area near $24.00 will gain the market’s attention.
Meanwhile, the stated previous support line, around $25.20, guards the quote’s immediate upside ahead of the triangle’s resistance line near $25.40.
Should the silver buyers keep reins past $25.40, a run-up towards the August month’s high of $26.00 can’t be ruled out.
