Inflation concerns weigh on silver as rate hike fears rise
The non-renewal of the US-Iran ceasefire has resulted in higher oil prices and fueled global inflation concerns, as reported by Fxstreet. These inflationary pressures have raised apprehensions about potential central bank rate hikes, which can diminish the relative appeal of non-yielding assets like Silver. Such macroeconomic developments have contributed to shaping sentiment and trading activity in the metal.
Bearish momentum strengthens with sellers dominant below key resistance
On the technical front, XAG trades below the MA-20 at $64.74, MA-50 at $64.77, and remains well under the MA-200 at $74.74. The Ichimoku Kijun resistance is at $64.57, marking the nearest major overhead barrier. Momentum indicators on the H4 show RSI at 42.12, with MACD and ADX both registering sell signals, while Stochastic RSI is neutral. CCI and Bull/Bear Power are both in oversold territory, highlighting the strength of sellers on the intraday setup, and the Awesome Oscillator confirms continued downside momentum.
Balanced risk outlook as sideways trading range expected
Looking ahead, Silver is forecast to trade sideways over the next 2–3 sessions, with the projected range between $62.06 and $65.06. The probability of an upward move stands at 48%, with a slightly higher 52% chance for a downside scenario. A breakout above resistance at $64.57 could open the way for further gains, while a drop below $62.06 would likely deepen downward momentum.
Earlier, analysts noted that silver remained under sustained selling pressure with a prevailing downside bias amid technical resistance. The current analysis adds a new dimension by highlighting fresh macroeconomic headwinds, with traders advised to monitor $64.57 as a key level for any potential reversal in the near term.
