Demand weakens as geopolitical de-escalation reduces safe-haven appeal

Oil prices dropped after the announcement of a ceasefire 2.0 between the United States and Iran, according to Fxstreet. The de-escalation of geopolitical tensions typically diminishes risk premiums in commodities markets and curbs the appeal of safe-haven assets like Silver. As a result, the demand dynamic for XAG has been tempered in the wake of the ceasefire development.

Bearish pressure intensifies as technical indicators signal oversold market

On the h4 timeframe, XAG/USD is positioned below the MA-20 and MA-50, and remains well under the MA-200 on the daily chart. Immediate resistance is set by the Ichimoku Kijun at $57.94. Indicator readings are heavily biased to the downside: RSI is at 32.74, MACD signals Sell, while Stoch RSI, CCI, and Bull/Bear Power all point to oversold or seller-dominated conditions. The ADX remains Neutral, and the Awesome Oscillator aligns with the prevailing downward trend.

Range-bound movement expected as upside reversal faces resistance

In the near term, Silver is expected to trade sideways within a volatility band of $56.09 to $58.65. The probability of an upward reversal remains limited at 21%, with a much higher 79% chance of continued downside. Baseline expectation is for range-bound movement unless resistance at $57.94 is broken, in which case a recovery could follow. Conversely, a drop below $56.09 may lead to a further decline.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees a shift in market sentiment after the US-Iran ceasefire announcement. He believes the easing geopolitical stress has tempered Silver’s safe-haven demand and weighed on its short-term outlook. Technicals remain heavy with sellers dominating key indicator readings. Still, Karapetjanc maintains a constructive stance if resistance at $57.94 is reclaimed. "If Silver breaks above $57.94, a recovery could gain traction, but until then, I expect sideways to downside action to prevail."

Earlier, analysts noted that silver was likely to remain under pressure amid cautious market sentiment and mixed technical signals. The current decline in silver, reinforced by oversold momentum indicators and a diminished safe-haven demand following geopolitical de-escalation, points to elevated downside risk with traders advised to monitor for a potential breakdown below $56.09 as the next key move.
