Silver Price (XAG/USD) stays defensive around $23.60 amid early Monday in Asia, keeping the previous day’s rebound from the six-week-old support line below the 200-SMA hurdle. In doing so, the XAG/USD seeks fresh clues to extend the three-week downtrend.

Given the steady RSI (14) line and the recently bullish MACD signals, the Silver Price is likely to extend the latest rebound from an upward-sloping support line from late June, close to $23.20. However, a clear upside break of the 200-SMA hurdle of around $23.80 becomes necessary for the XAG/USD buyer’s conviction.

Following that, the $24.00 round figure and a one-week-long descending resistance line can check the Silver bulls before directing them to the $25.00 round figure and then to the previous monthly high of around $25.30.

On the flip side, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the XAG/USD’s late June to early July upside, near $23.30, offers immediate support to the Silver Price before the previously stated key trend line support of around $23.20.

In a case where the Silver Price breaks the $23.20 support, the $23.00 threshold may act as the final defense of the buyers before giving control to the XAG/USD bears.

Gold stays on the defensive on Tuesday, receding to the sub-$5,000 region per troy ounce on the back of the persistent move higher in the Greenback. The precious metal’s decline is also underpinned by the modest uptick in US Treasury yields across the spectrum.
