XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical Outlook

The bears gained confidence on Monday after pushing prices below the $27.57 support zone. Technical indicators are pointing downwards, approaching but not yet oversold levels and price action below the 50 and 100 SMAs.

Using Elliott wave analysis, the pair appears in the fourth corrective wave of a five-wave bullish cycle. The 38.2% Fib of the aforementioned bull run at $26.85 is a common target for corrections, and close below is the April 5 low at $26.30.

To the upside, the pair would need to reclaim previous support at $27.60 to shift focus to $27.95 and the mid-April high at $29.80.
