XAG/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

Silver prices remain upward biased, despite retreating to current levels after reaching a multi-year high of $37.31 on June 18. The gray metal hit a low around $36.21; since then, it has recovered, but traders are facing strong resistance at $36.50.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that buyer momentum is fading, suggesting that the path of least resistance is downward in the near term.

With that said, the first support level for XAG/USD would be the $36.00 figure. On further strength, sellers could challenge Silver's bullishness if they drag prices below the June 12 swing low of $35.46, which clears the path to test the October 30, 2024, high turned support at $34.86.

On the other hand, if XAG/USD prints a daily close above $36.50, the following key resistance levels would be $37.00 and the year-to-date high of $37.31.
