Silver Price Analysis: Oversold RSI tests XAG/USD bears at three-month low under $21.00

  • Silver price remains pressured at the lowest levels in three months.
  • RSI conditions limit immediate downside near three-week-old descending trend line.
  • Descending megaphone formation suggests more volatility towards the south.
  • Recovery remains elusive unless crossing 100-SMA.

Silver price (XAG/USD) takes offers to reverse the week-start corrective bounce off the three-month low during the mid-Asian session on Monday. In doing so, the bright metal pokes the key $20.75-70 zone, the lowest since late November 2022, as the oversold RSI (14) probes the quote’s further downside.

However, a downward-sloping megaphone trend-widening chart formation, stretching from early February, joins the bearish MACD signals to keep XAG/USD sellers hopeful.

That said, the bullion’s further downside could aim for the November 21, 2022 swing low of $20.58 before challenging the stated megaphone’s lower line, close to $20.55 at the latest.

Though, the RSI conditions and the aforementioned $20.55 trend line support may restrict the commodity’s further downside.

Alternatively, a three-day-old descending resistance line, near $21.00, restricts immediate recovery moves of the Silver price.

Following that, the stated megaphone’s top line, around $21.80 by the press time, could challenge the XAG/USD buyers.

It’s worth noting, however, that the metal’s upside remains doubtful unless crossing the 100-SMA level surrounding $21.90.

Also acting as an upside filter is the previous weekly top of near $22.00, a break of which could direct the buyers towards the November 2022 high of $22.25.

Overall, the Silver price remains bearish but the downside appears limited amid oversold RSI conditions.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
