Sideways price action likely as volatility band contains silver
In the short term, XAG is expected to trade within a volatility band from $56.23 to $58.93. The probability of an upward move is estimated at 60%, while there is a 40% chance of a downside scenario. The baseline outlook is for sideways movement within this established range, with a bullish break likely to challenge the upper band and a bearish turn targeting a move below immediate support.
