SILVER PRICE ANALYSIS: XAG/USD STAYS DEFENSIVE ABOVE $23.40 SUPPORT CONFLUENCE

Silver Price struggles for clear directions after snapping two-day downtrend the previous day.

Sustained trading beyond a convergence of 200-HMA, one-week-old rising trend line keeps XAG/USD buyers hopeful.

Steady RSI (14) adds strength to expectations of further grinding towards the north.

Double tops around $24.00 appear tough nuts to crack for the Silver buyers.

Silver Price (XAG/USD) picks up bids to defend the previous day’s corrective bounce off the short-term key support, mildly bid near $23.60 during early Wednesday in Asia.

In doing so, the bright metal rebounds from a convergence of the 200-Hour Moving Average (HMA) and an upward-sloping support line from May 30, close to $23.60-65.

Apart from the clear bounce off an important support, steady RSI (14) line also keeps the XAG/USD buyers hopeful.

However, a three-week-old double top formation around $24.00 challenges the Silver buyers before giving them control.

In a case where the XAG/USD remains firmer past $24.00, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the metal’s May 10-26 May, around $24.70, will act as the last defense of the Silver buyers.

Following that, the $26.00 round figure and the previous monthly high of around $26.15 will be in the spotlight.

On the contrary, a clear downside break of the $23.40 won’t hesitate to portray an immediate fall towards the $23.00 round figure, a break of which could direct the XAG/USD sellers towards the previous monthly low of near $22.70.
