FxNews—Silver trades in a bull market above the 50- and 100-period simple moving averages at approximately $31.6. Recently, the bears broke below the ascending trendline and the $31.4 support but failed to maintain the pressure.
As a result, the silver price returned above $31.4. The 4-hour chart below demonstrates the price, support, resistance levels, and technical indicators utilized in today's analysis.
Technical Analysis
The Awesome Oscillator histogram flipped above the signal line, indicating that the uptrend is strengthening and gaining momentum. Additionally, the Stochastic and Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicators depict values of 47 and 53, respectively, signifying that the market is bullish and not oversaturated with bids.
However, the market is still trading below the Supertrend indicator, which suggests that the trend might shake and potentially reverse.
Overall, the technical indicators suggest that the primary trend is bullish, and the silver price should increase. However, for the uptrend to resume, bulls need to surpass a specific resistance area.
Forecast and Signal
The immediate resistance lies at $31.8 (October 1st high). If bulls (buyers) can close and stabilize the price above $31.8, the uptrend will likely resume.
If this scenario unfolds, the silver price could potentially revisit the September 2024 high at $32.7. Furthermore, if buying pressure pushes the price above $32.7, the bulls' path to the $35.0 psychological level could be paved.
Please note that the bull market should be considered invalid if the XAG/USD conversion rate falls below the 100-period simple moving average or the $30.9 support.
Bearish Scenario
The critical support level that divides the bull market from the bear market is at $30.9, or the 100-period SMA. If bears (sellers) push the price below $30.9, a new bearish wave will likely emerge. If this scenario unfolds, the consolidation phase from $32.7 could potentially extend to the next critical supply zone at $30.2, the August 2024 high.
Furthermore, if the XAG/USD price dips below $30.2, the next bearish target could be set at $29.6, the September 18 low.
