XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
Although XAG/USD would finish the week with gains, price action offered sellers a better entry price on Thursday, particularly for traders entering nearby the weekly highs of $23.00. Buyers’ failure to extend its gains, and reclaim the 200-day Moving Average (DMA) at $23.29, keeps the white metal exposed to selling pressure.
From an intraday perspective, the XAG/USD remains trading sideways, slightly tilted upwards, with upside risks remaining, as XAG/USD is testing a downslope resistance trendline. A breach of the latter will expose the $22.80 price level, followed by the confluence of the weekly high and Friday’s R1 daily pivot at around $23.00 per ounce.
A decisive break would expose the June 15 daily low turned resistance at $23.22, ahead of testing the June 8 low at $23.42.
