silver prices have recently rebounded from a one-month low touched earlier this week, showing signs of resilience and modest recovery. The white metal, represented by XAG/USD, has witnessed an upward move from the $30.20 – $30.15 range, which marked its lowest point since early October. As trading progressed during the Asian session on Wednesday, silver began approaching the $31.00 level, but caution is recommended, as the technical indicators suggest a careful approach is needed before anticipating further increases.
The recovery appears to be fueled by short-covering and market repositioning in advance of upcoming U.S. inflation data. Despite this bounce, the daily oscillators indicate a loss of positive momentum, suggesting that any additional upside could present selling opportunities. The technical outlook indicates that while there may be room to rise towards the next target zone near $31.60 – $31.65, significant resistance is anticipated at the $32.00 level, which will be crucial for determining the ongoing market sentiment.
Should silver manage to break above the $32.00 level decisively, it may signal an end to the recent downturn that began after reaching a near 12-year high around $35.00 last month. Such a breakout could favor bullish sentiment and open the door for further price gains.
Conversely, if silver prices fall below the $30.60 level — signifying the 50% Fibonacci retracement level from the August through October rally — there would be a risk of a quick downturn. A significant breach beneath this level could expose silver to further declines, compelling it towards the $30.00 level and potentially leading to a deeper slide towards $29.65 – $29.60 and possibly lower towards $28.75. As such, traders should maintain vigilance as the market navigates this critical juncture.
