Silver Price Forecast: XAG/USD slips but clings above $33.00

update 2025.05.28 05:06

  • XAG/USD down 0.70% after hitting two-day low; bullish momentum intact above 50-day SMA.
  • Silver finds support at $32.77 as RSI shows bulls still in control.
  • Key resistance at $33.69 must be cleared to target $34.58 and $35.00.
  • A daily close below $32.90 could open path toward 100- and 200-day SMAs.

Silver price falls some 0.70% on Tuesday, yet it has trimmed some of its earlier losses that pushed the grey's metal below $33.00 to hit a two-day low of $32.77. At the time of writing, the XAG/USD trades at $33.29, remains down in the day.

XAG/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

Silver price consolidates for the third straight day, capped on the upside by resistance at $33.69 the May 22 peak and on the downside by the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $32.73.

Momentum indicates that buyers are in charge as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI). But they must clear $33.69, so that could pave the way to challenge $34. On further strength, XAG/USD next resistance level would be the March 26 high at $34.58, followed by $35.00.

On the bearish scenario XAG/USD needs to achieve a daily close below the May 23 swing low of $32.90. In that outcome, the next test would be the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $32.73. A decisive break will expose the 100-day SMA at $32.11, followed by the 200-day SMA at $31.40.

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.
