Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD bears keep $18.20 on radar despite latest rebound

NEW YORK (Oct 14) Silver price (XAG/USD) prints the first daily gain in six while keeping the previous day’s rebound near $19.00 during early Friday morning in Europe. In doing so, the bright metal seesaws around the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of September-October upside, recently retreating from the intraday high.

It’s worth noting that the impending bull cross on the MACD and the RSI’s latest recovery from the oversold territory keeps the buyers hopeful. However, the 200-SMA and the 100-SMA challenge the metal’s short-term upside near $19.15 and $19.50 respectively.

Even if the XAG/USD rises past $19.50, the bulls will have a tough task crossing a one-month-old resistance area between $19.95 and $20.00.

Meanwhile, pullback moves may initially aim for the latest swing low surrounding $18.45 ahead of challenging an upward-sloping support line from September 01, close to $18.20.

Following that, $17.95 and the previous monthly low of $17.56 should lure the silver bear.

To sum up, XAG/USD remains on the bear’s table even if the prices witness a corrective bounce of late.
