Safe-haven flows rise as Middle East tensions fuel demand

Safe-haven demand for Silver continues to intensify as heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East drive investor flows, according to Fxstreet. This increased demand has resulted in XAG extending its gains for a fourth consecutive session, highlighting the metal's status as a preferred hedge in times of uncertainty. The persistent risk backdrop is reinforcing Silver's appeal for capital preservation in the current market environment.

Bullish signals build as momentum indicators diverge

On the hourly chart, XAG trades above the MA-20 and MA-50, while remaining below the MA-200. The Ichimoku Kijun offers immediate support at $59.14. Momentum indicators remain strong: MACD signals a strong buy, and ADX confirms bullish traction. RSI also issues a buy signal; however, Stochastic RSI is oversold, and CCI shows neutral readings. Bull/Bear Power indicates buyers are in control of the intraday tone, while the Awesome Oscillator is neutral and does not provide additional signal alignment.

Consolidation likely as breakout risk tilts upward

For the next 23 trading days, Silver is expected to consolidate within a volatility band of $58.54 to $60.48, tracking its current momentum. The probability of an upward move breaking the upper resistance is considered very high, while a downward breach of immediate support is viewed as a low-probability scenario. Consolidation sideways is the baseline, with directional movement likely if either range extreme is tested.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Silver maintaining strong bullish momentum, supported by steady safe-haven inflows on persistent geopolitical tensions. He notes technical structure is constructive, with buyers firmly in control intraday and momentum indicators tilting in favor of further gains. Karapetjanc expects consolidation to dominate in the near term, but views a breakout above resistance as highly probable in the current risk environment. "With macro drivers and resilient sentiment strengthening Silver’s bid, I am confident that upside potential remains strong in the next trading sessions."

Previously it was reported that Kalshi is seeking regulatory approval to expand its perpetual futures offerings to include precious metals such as silver, signaling increased innovation and competition in the derivatives market. With silver's safe-haven appeal intensifying amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, traders should closely monitor for a potential upside breakout above $60.48, which would indicate renewed momentum beyond the current consolidation band.
