Silver's advance paused on Thursday, as the gray metal posted minuscule losses of 0.04%, trading virtually unchanged.

Therefore, the gray metal fell and was trading at $29.60 at the time of writing.
XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical Overview
Silver's bullish trend is still in place, but Thursday's price action forming a 'doji' indicates that neither buyers nor sellers are in control of the price action. It must be said that a 'double top' is coming. However, the momentum favors the former, as the RSI continues to point upwards despite approaching overbought conditions.
That said, if XAG/USD holds above $29.00, buyers could remain hopeful of testing the year-to-date high of $29.79. A breakout of the latter will pave the way to challenge the February 2013 high of $32.15, followed by the October 2012 high of $35.40.
On the contrary, sellers must drag the price of Silver below $29.00. In that outcome, the pullback could reach the May 18, 2021 high turned support at $28.75, followed by the $28.00 mark. Further losses lie below the latter, with key support seen at $27.00.
