Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD makes a U-turn and slides below $31.00

NEW YORK (July 13) Silver price reversed course and registered losses of more than 2% on Friday, though it remained above the ‘double bottom’ neckline, keeping the short-term uptrend alive. At the time of writing, the XAG/USD trades at $30.78 after hitting a daily high of $31.43.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

Silver’s daily chart depicts the grey metal’s uptrend is in play, but Friday's price action hints that sellers stepped in aggressively, achieving a daily close near Thursday’s open at $30.79.

Momentum tilted to the downside, as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which aimed lower but stood in bullish territory. Hence, XAG/USD could be headed for a pullback before the uptrend continues.

If XAG/USD drops below the psychological $30.50 figure, that could drive the spot price toward the $30.00 level. Once cleared, the next stop would be the confluence of the April 12 high and the 50-day moving average (DMA) at $29.82/79.

On the flip side, the XAG/USD first resistance would be $31.00. Once cleared, the next resistance would be $31.75, followed by the $32.00 psychological figures. Once surpassed, the May 29 peak of $32.15 emerges, ahead of the year-to-date (YTD) high at $32.51. Further gains are seen above the latter.
