Silver prices climbed on Wednesday after the US central bank, the Federal Reserve, held rates unchanged, delivering a “dovish” hold. Consequently, US Treasury yields edged down, and the Greenback remained pressured, as shown by the US Dollar Index (DXY), down 0.37% at 103.44. Therefore, XAG/USD trades at $25.61, up close to 3%.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

Silver rallied sharply above the $25.50 rea, hitting a daily high at $25.63. A further upside is seen above that area, with grey metal traders eyeing $26.00 a troy ounce as the next key resistance level. Once those two levels are taken out, the next supply zone would be the April 18, 2022, high at $26.21, followed by the March 8, 2022, high at $26.94.

If sellers move in and drag prices below March 15’s high of $25.43, look for a drop toward $25.00. Once cleared, the next stop would be the December 22 high turned support at $24.60, followed by the $24.00 mark.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?
