Highlights

  • US Treasury increased buybacks of longer-term debt to over $4 billion to provide greater bond market liquidity.
  • Investor focus on US fiscal sustainability redirected attention to safe-haven assets, supporting demand for silver.
  • Silver trades with short- and medium-term bullish momentum, projected to consolidate between $67.62 and $70.96 over the next 2 to 3 days.

Treasury buybacks and fiscal concerns boost safe-haven appeal

US Treasury buybacks of longer-dated government debt have doubled above $4 billion in an effort to curb rising bond yields, according to Fxstreet. This action injects liquidity into the bond markets and indirectly supports demand for alternative safe-haven assets, including Silver. Concerns around US fiscal sustainability continue to drive attention toward precious metals as investors reassess portfolio risk, as reported by Barchart.

Mixed momentum and technical boundaries temper intraday bullish signals

On the hourly timeframe, XAG/USD trades above both the MA-20 and MA-50, while remaining under the MA-200 on the daily chart. Immediate support is marked by the Ichimoku Kijun at $69.22. Momentum signals are mixed: MACD signals a strong buy, with ADX neutral, and RSI at 53.82 indicating a mild bullish bias. Stoch RSI and CCI are both neutral, and Bull/Bear Power shows a slight advantage for buyers intraday, though the Awesome Oscillator does not confirm a prevailing trend. Silver is currently trading near today's high, and volatility is moderate, underscored by a modest gap lower at the open.

High breakout odds as narrow range signals upcoming move

Over the next 2 to 3 trading days, XAG/USD is expected to consolidate within a price band of $67.62 to $70.96. The probability of an upward move remains very high, while the likelihood of sustained downside is low. A bullish scenario could be activated if the price breaks above local resistance, while a move below immediate support may see Silver retest the lower end of the projected range.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, views Silver’s resilience as a sign of underlying investor confidence amid policy moves. He sees US Treasury buybacks and persistent fiscal concerns as supportive macro drivers for alternative assets like Silver. Technical signals show room for consolidation but do not rule out further upward momentum. Positive sentiment remains intact given the prevailing risk environment. "With government action sustaining liquidity and market uncertainty lingering, I believe Silver is positioned for near-term strength within its current range."

Earlier, analysts noted that ongoing US fiscal uncertainties continued to support a generally bullish outlook for Silver driven by defensive asset flows. The current analysis reinforces this perspective, as recent Treasury interventions and mixed momentum signals suggest traders should monitor the $67.62 to $70.96 range for consolidation or an upward breakout in the near term.
