Silver Price Forecast: XAG/USD holds steady near $34.50 as bulls take a breather

update 2025.06.05 04:22

  • Silver trades flat but holds gains after strongest rally since October 2024, keeping bullish structure intact.
  • Break above $35.00 may open path toward $37.49, last reached in February 2012.
  • Close below $34.58 could trigger pullback to $34.00, with deeper support at $33.69.

Silver price consolidated during Wednesday's session, trading almost flat near $34.50, as traders seem reluctant to push the metal's prices outside of the $34.00-$34.50 range.

XAG/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

Technically, Silver remains bullish-biased, though buyers are taking a breather after Monday's over 5% gain, which pushed XAG/USD from around $33.00 to $34.50, the most significant gain since October 18, 2024, when Silver gained 6.40%.

As Silver makes higher highs and higher lows and has broken the previous two peaks seen near $34.51, the grey metal seems poised to challenge the $35.00 figure. A decisive break could send XAG/USD to challenge 13-year highs at $37.49, the February 29, 2012, daily high.

Conversely, a daily close of XAG/USD below the March 28 peak of $34.58 would likely result in a decline towards $34.00. In the event of further weakness, the next support level would be the May 22 peak, which has since turned into support at $33.69.

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.
