- Silver attracts some buying on Wednesday and hits a multi-day high.
- This move confirms the break of a descending trend line from a week ago.
- A sustained break below the $21.00 level is needed to undo the uptrend.
The silver price (XAG/USD) reverses an intraday dip below the $21.00 level and hits a four-day high during the European session on Wednesday. The white metal is currently trading around the $21.25-$21.30 zone, up close to 0.80% on the day, as bulls now wait for a sustained move above the 200 hour SMA before opening new positions. .
From a technical point of view, the momentum confirms the breakout of the downtrend line resistance from a week ago. Meanwhile, the oscillators on the daily chart remain in the bullish zone and have just started to gain positive traction on the hourly charts. This, in turn, supports prospects for an extension of the rally from a nearly two-week low, around the $20.60-$20.55 area touched on Monday.
Continuation buying beyond the $21.35 zone (200 hour SMA) will reaffirm the constructive outlook and lift XAG/USD towards the $21.75-$21.80 resistance zone. This is followed by the $22.00 level and a five-month high around the $22.25 area, which if broken will set the stage for a move towards the $22.50 to $22.60 area. Higher up, prices could retrace the round $23.00 level.
On the other hand, the $21.00-$20.90 zone could continue to defend the immediate fall. Such support represents a rising trend line extending from the weekly low hit on Monday. A convincing break below this region will undo the positive setup and shift the short-term bias in favor of the bears. XAG/USD could then slide towards the $20.60-$20.55 zone (weekly low) and the psychological $20.00 level.
