- Silver retreats to $33.78 from $34.09 high after Fed holds rates, citing economic uncertainty.
- Bearish patterns, including 'quasi-shooting star' and 'hanging man,' suggest potential further declines.
- Key support at $33.39; break below could expose $33.00. Resistance at $34.51 and $35.00 if bulls rally.
Silver price finished the day with a loss of over 0.55% on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve (Fed) held rates unchanged while acknowledging the economic outlook is uncertain due to US trade policies implemented by President Donald Trump. At the time of writing, the XAG/USD trades at $33.78 after hitting a daily high of $34.09.
XAG/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook
Price action during the last couple of days opened the door for further downside on Silver prices. A 'quasi-shooting star' followed by a 'hanging man' indicates that sellers are driving XAG/USD beneath the $34.00 figure. This could sponsor a retracement if the grey metal drops below the February 14 daily peak of $33.39. A breach of the latter will expose the $33.00 figure.
If XAG/USD rises past $34.00, the following key resistance would be October 30, 2024, peaking at $34.51, followed by the $35.00 mark.

Silver FAQs
Silver is a precious metal highly traded among investors. It has been historically used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Although less popular than Gold, traders may turn to Silver to diversify their investment portfolio, for its intrinsic value or as a potential hedge during high-inflation periods. Investors can buy physical Silver, in coins or in bars, or trade it through vehicles such as Exchange Traded Funds, which track its price on international markets.
Silver prices can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can make Silver price escalate due to its safe-haven status, although to a lesser extent than Gold's. As a yieldless asset, Silver tends to rise with lower interest rates. Its moves also depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAG/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Silver at bay, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to propel prices up. Other factors such as investment demand, mining supply - Silver is much more abundant than Gold - and recycling rates can also affect prices.
Silver is widely used in industry, particularly in sectors such as electronics or solar energy, as it has one of the highest electric conductivity of all metals - more than Copper and Gold. A surge in demand can increase prices, while a decline tends to lower them. Dynamics in the US, Chinese and Indian economies can also contribute to price swings: for the US and particularly China, their big industrial sectors use Silver in various processes; in India, consumers' demand for the precious metal for jewellery also plays a key role in setting prices.
Silver prices tend to follow Gold's moves. When Gold prices rise, Silver typically follows suit, as their status as safe-haven assets is similar. The Gold/Silver ratio, which shows the number of ounces of Silver needed to equal the value of one ounce of Gold, may help to determine the relative valuation between both metals. Some investors may consider a high ratio as an indicator that Silver is undervalued, or Gold is overvalued. On the contrary, a low ratio might suggest that Gold is undervalued relative to Silver.
