The Rise of Silver: A Two-Month High
Silver (XAG/USD) is on the move, attracting buyers for the second consecutive day and holding strong above the $31.00 mark, approaching a two-month peak during the European session. This surge in silver prices is a result of various factors and technical indicators aligning in favor of bullish traders.
Technical Breakout Signals Opportunity
- The recent breakout above a short-term descending trend-line resistance at $29.35, coinciding with the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), has sparked optimism among traders.
- Positive oscillators on the daily chart and dip-buying activity on Thursday further support the upward momentum for XAG/USD.
Path to Upside Continues
With silver now establishing itself above the $31.00 mark, the next targets for bullish traders include:
- Breaking through the $31.45 intermediate hurdle
- Reaching the July swing high around $31.75
- Aiming for the $32.00 mark and potentially challenging the one-decade high in the mid-$32.00s reached in May
Support Levels for Buyers
Should there be a corrective decline, key support levels to watch include:
- $30.70 horizontal zone
- $30.00 psychological mark
- $29.35 confluence resistance turned support
If the $29.35 support is breached, the downward pressure could intensify, targeting levels near $28.20-$28.15 and $28.00, with a significant support zone at $27.70.
