On the daily chart, the white metal has been under continuous selling pressure from the high of $24.86 made on September 3, which also coincides with the break of the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $24.87. Now, If the prices sustains below the intraday session’s low, it would continue with the downside price movement with the previous day’s low of $21.42. XAG/USD could further test the July, 2020 lows of $17.76.
Alternatively, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator reads in the oversold zone with stretched selling conditions. Any uptick in the MACD would make the bulls hopeful of the $22.50 horizontal resistance level followed by the psychological $23.00 mark.
Furthermore, daily close above the 20-day SMA and the bearish sloping line from the mentioned level would strengthen the outlook for the XAG/USD bulls to touch the $23.50 horizontal resistance level.
