Silver price jumped above the $23.00 figure bolstered by a risk-off impulse, amidst geopolitical headlines suggesting the Middle East conflict is escalating, as Israel began its ground offensive at the Gaza strip. That said, the XAG/USD rose from $22.70 and is trading at $23.07, gaining more than 1.35%.

The XAG/USD remains downward biased despite rising above the 50-day moving average (DMA) at $22.94, about to test the crucial resistance level at the 200-DMA at $23.26. once that level is cruised, the next ceiling level would be $23.69, the latest cycle high. In a breach of that level, Silver bias would shift to neutral upwards, exposing the top of the Bollinger bands at $23.80,

Conversely, if Silver tumbles below $23.00, that would keep the downtrend in place. The first support would be the 50-DMA at $22.94, followed by the October 26 low of $22.44, before tumbling to challenge the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $22.25.
