- Silver surges, bolstered by easing US producer prices, sparking interest in precious metals.
- Though overbought, strong bullish momentum could target the next resistance at $28.74.
- Support established at $28.00 and $27.54, key during potential pullbacks.
Silver price surges on Thursday after the release of prices paid by producers in the United States (US) showed that factory inflation continues to decelerate, contrasting Wednesday’s red-hot Consumer Price Index (CPI). Investors capitalized on that, as they took advantage of the dip in precious metals and lifted their prices near year-to-date peaks.
The XAG/USD trades at $28.45 and clocks minimal gains of 0.09% after ending Thursday’s session up by 1.94%.
XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
The grey metal rally is set to extend after rallying after June 10, 2021, at a high of $28.28, which has opened the door for further upside. Silver gains momentum, although momentum oscillators suggest it's overbought. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), at 77.41, is still shy of reaching the 80 levels sought by traders as the overbought condition in a strong bullish trend.
With that said Silver’s next resistance would be the May 18 high at $28.74, followed by the psychological $29.00 figure. On the other hand, if sellers drag prices below the June 10, 2021, high, turned support, that will pave the way for further losses. The first support would be $28.00, followed by the April 10 low of $27.54, ahead of $27.00.
