Silver Price Analysis (XAG/USD): Technical Outlook
From a monthly chart perspective, the outlook for white metal looks more positive than negative. July price action formed a dragonfly doji in a crowded area, with the 50-, 100-, and 200-month MAs hovering around the $18.48-$20.17 region, which could pave the way for more gains . On the upside, the 20-month EMA at $23.81 could cap further XAG/USD gains.
Meanwhile, the XAG/USD weekly chart shows the undeclining metal struggling at the 200-week ma at $20.60. Nonetheless, unless sellers push silver below $19.80, buyers could hope for higher prices, although they would face a wall of resistance around $21.48, the 20-week EMA. Once cleared, it would pave the way to the 50-week EMA at $22.73, ahead of the 100-week EMA at $24.11.
XAG/USD weekly chart
The XAG/USD daily chart shows Silver as neutral to bearish. As mentioned, a bearish engulfing candlestick pattern emerged. Still, the 50-day EMA at $20.18 is a tough support level for sellers to break, but the Relative Strength Index (RSI) targeting down towards the 50 midline could open the door for more losses .
If XAG/USD sellers make a daily close below the above, the next XAG/USD support would be the $20.00 figure which, once cleared, could test the 20-day EMA at $19.73 . On the other hand, if XAG/USD buyers maintain the position above the former, then the first XAG/USD resistance would be the $21.00 figure. A break below will expose key resistance levels like the 50-day EMA at $21.68, followed by the 200-day EMA at $22.68.
