Silver Price Forecast: XAG/USD pulls back from 5-month peak, bears eye $34

update 2025.03.29 05:20

  • Silver slips after strong rally as traders reduce exposure ahead of key US macroeconomic releases next week.
  • A close below $34.23 opens door to deeper pullback, with $33.51 and $33.00 as key downside targets.
  • Bulls need to hold above $34.25 to retest YTD high at $34.58 and make a run toward $35.00.

Silver price hits a five-month high but retreats toward the $34 figure late on Friday, as traders brace for the weekend, eyeing a busy economic schedule in the United States (US). At the time of writing, the XAG/USD pair trades at $34.03, down by over 1%.

XAG/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

Silver hit $34.58 earlier, before retreating as traders seem to book profits, taking risks off the table. As the grey metal falls, it has cleared the first support seen at $34.23, March 18 peak. If sellers achieve a daily close below the latter, XAG/USD could extend its losses beneath $34.00.

In that outcome, the first support would be the March 26 daily low of $33.51. Once surpassed the next stop would be $33.00. On the other hand, if Silver remains above $34.25, bulls could be poised to claim the year-to-date (YTD) high of $34.58, ahead of testing $35.00

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.
