Silver price rises during Friday’s North American session, reached a six-month high at around $25.46 before dipping to its current spot price. At the time of writing, the XAG/USD is trading at $25.38 after bouncing from a daily low of $25.09, gaining 0.54%.

XAG/USD remains bullish and set to challenge the May 10 daily high at $25.91, ahead of the $26.00 figure. A breach of the latter will expose the year-to-date (YTD) high of $26.12.

For the XAG/USD to flip bearish, it would need to drop below the November 30 high of $25.28. Once done the next support would be the November 29 daily low of $24.85, followed by the November 28 low of $.24.54. Further downside is seen at the November 17 swing high turned support at $24.14.
