Key Takeaways:
- Silver holds above 50 and 100-DMAs, indicating buyer strength but diminishing momentum.
- A break above $30.18 is needed for uptrend continuation, targeting $30.50 and $31.42.
- If gains below $30.00 are not sustained, expect a pullback to support levels at $29.22-$29.13 and $29.00.
Silver Consolidates as Price Holds Firm
Silver’s price consolidated for the second consecutive day, hovering within the $29.70-$30.10 range on Tuesday, with a modest gain of 0.24%. As of now, XAG/USD trades at $29.96.
Technical Outlook
The XAG/USD pair is currently trading above the confluence of the 50 and 100-day moving averages (DMAs), reflecting buyer strength. Despite this, the uptrend in Silver appears stretched, with prices struggling to close above $30.00 on a daily basis. Momentum indicators suggest that buyers are losing steam, as seen in the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
If Silver manages to reclaim the August 26 peak at $30.18, the uptrend is likely to continue, with targets at $30.50 and the July 17 swing high of $31.42. On the other hand, failure to sustain gains below $30.00 could result in a pullback towards support levels around $29.22-$29.13 and the key $29.00 level.
