Silver (XAG/USD) is seeing the ‘sell the bounce’ strategy in play so far this Thursday, as the bulls continue to face rejection on every attempt to regain the $27 mark.

The bears yearn for acceptance below the critical horizontal trendline support at $26.30, which would then confirm a rectangle break down on the hourly chart.

Silver Price Chart: Hourly

The downside break could open floors for a test of the measured target near $25.30, below which the $25 level could come into play.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) points south below the midline, currently trading at 38.85, indicating that there is more room to the downside.

Alternatively, recapturing the 200-hourly moving average (HMA) at $26.51 would prompt the XAG bulls to take on the 21-HMA barrier at $26.74.

The next crucial hurdle awaits at $26.86, where the bearish 100-HMA lies.

US JOLTs report in focus

In the US, the June JOLTs report will be in the spotlight. Job openings have increased modestly this year, which has historically predicted rising wage cost pressures ahead. June trade balance data will also be released in the afternoon and the preliminary reading pointed towards a stable trade deficit from May. The Fed's Schmid (non-voter, hawk) will be on the wires overnight.

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
