From a daily chart perspective, the path of XAG/USD remains unclear, stuck between the daily EMAs, waiting to break resistance around $23.74-$88, which would pave the way to challenge the top of the day. June 2 at $24.01. A break of the latter would shift silver higher and open the door to test the April 25 low turned resistance at $24.49 before targeting the February 2 high at $24.63.
Conversely, if the XAG/USD turns below the 100 day EMA and turns below the June 5 low at $23.25, it could exacerbate a deeper decline towards the May 30 daily low at $22.93. Once broken, the next challenge for XAG/USD will be the 200 day EMA at $22.87.
