Technical indicators continue to reflect downside pressure
Silver is trading below its major moving averages, including the 20-period MA (US$57.62), 50-period MA (US$58.86) and 200-period MA (US$64.45).
The SuperTrend indicator remains bearish at US$58.28, while the Ichimoku Cloud continues to act as overhead resistance.
Recent price declines have also been accompanied by lower trading volume, with no clear bullish divergence identified by technical indicators.
Technical reference levels
- Support: around US$55.00
- Resistance: US$57.50–US$58.30, where multiple technical indicators, including the 20-period moving average, Kijun-sen and Fibonacci retracement levels, converge.
Alternative technical scenarios
A move below US$55.00 could reinforce the existing downward trend.
Conversely, a sustained four-hour close above US$58.30 would weaken the current bearish technical structure.
Macro backdrop
The gold-to-silver ratio remains close to 69:1, while expectations that interest rates could stay elevated continue to influence precious metals markets. Together, these factors are consistent with the current technical weakness observed in silver.
