Silver Price Analysis: Technical Outlook

The precious metal shifted to a neutral stance as prices fell below the 100-day moving average (SMA) at $28.61, signaling weakness for the bulls. They failed to manage a daily close above $29.00, exacerbating a drop to a two-day low of $28.22.

If XAG/USD drops below $28.00, the grey metal will challenge the latest cycle low at $27.31, the bottom level of July 29. On further weakness, sellers target the 200-day SMA at $25.98.

On the other hand, if the XAG/USD rises above $29.00, the next ceiling level will be the 50-day SMA at $29.86, followed by the psychological level of $30.00.
