Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD tanks over 3%, breaks key support levels as bears eye $23.00

  • XAG/USD confirms a downtrend by breaking below 200, 100, and 50-day moving averages.
  • Downtrend signals potential testing of November 13 swing low at $21.88 unless buyers intervene to lift the spot price.
  • On the upside, buyers must reclaim $23.00 to challenge and surpass broken DMAs, potentially targeting $24.00.

Silver price is collapsing more than 3% in the day, breaking key support levels on its way south, set to finish the week with losses of more than 9.50%. At the time of writing, XAG/USD is trading at $22.97 after hitting a daily high of $23.89.

XAG/USD’s daily chart confirms the grey metal’s downtrend after breaching the 200, 100, and 50-day moving averages (DMAs), each at $23,49, $23.24, and $23.06. That said unless buyers lift the spot price, that would set the stage for a test of the November 13 swing low of $21.88.

Firstly, XAG/USD sellers must drag prices below a support trendline that passes at around $22.69. Once cleared, the next stop would be $22.00, ahead of the November 13 daily low mentioned above.

Conversely, if Silver buyers reclaim the $23.00 figure, that could pave the way for reclaiming each DMA previously broken. Once those levels are cleared, up next would bet the $24.00 mark.

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances to the area of daily peaks north of the 1.1800 barrier at the end of the week. The pair’s decent move higher comes against the backdrop of a generalised lack of direction in the FX galaxy and the mild offered stance in the US Dollar.

Gold flirts with four-week highs past $5,200

Gold extends its rebound, climbing for a third consecutive session and pushing back above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday.
