Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD sellers cheer break of three-month-old support line around $26.00

  • Silver drops to the lowest since January 28.
  • Downward sloping RSI, support break favor silver sellers.
  • Medium-term support line, 100-day SMA challenge further downside.

Silver prices stand on a slippery ground after breaking a short-term support line, currently down 1.92% to $26.00, ahead of Tuesday’s European session. In doing so, the white metal declines to the lowest since January 28.

Although a downside break of the previous key support line favors silver sellers, a confluence of 100-day SMA and an ascending trend line from March 18, 2020, around $25.60-40, challenge the quote’s further weakness. It’s worth mentioning that the descending RSI line, not oversold, suggests the extra downside of the metal.

It should, however, be noted that the 200-day SMA close to $24.05 and the $24.00 offer additional downside filters to the precious metal ahead of dragging it to November lows near $21.90.

Meanwhile, corrective pullback needs a daily closing beyond the previous support line, at $26.30 now, before attacking the $26.85 hurdle.

Also likely to challenge the silver buyers is the late February top near $28.35 and the previous month’s high of $30.06.

To sum up, silver bears are waiting for confirmation to portray notable downside.

AUD/USD regains traction and extends the previous day's bounce from the weekly low, aiming for 0.7000 in Asia on Friday.

USD/JPY clings to gains around 158.00 after data showed on Friday that Japan's Household Spending fell for the ninth straight month, undermining the Japanese Yen.

Gold remains range-bound below $4,200

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?
Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?
The Euro is not the sick man of Europe. France's bond market is
EUR/USD remains under pressure, near the 17-month low of 1.1161 reached on Monday. The pair has lost more than 7% since its yearly peak, as concerns over France's public finances increasingly weigh on the single currency. But behind the weakness of the Euro (EUR), the problem does not necessarily lie with the European economy as a whole.
