Physical demand from Asia offsets safe-haven flows amid dollar rebound

Robust investor demand and strong physical buying from China and India have recently contributed to underlying support for silver, driving tangible increases in real-economy consumption according to Fxempire. In addition, record ETF holdings in gold highlight persistent investor appetite for the broader precious metals sector, shaping institutional flows into assets like silver. Silver's retreat from its weekly high during the Asian session coincided with a firmer US Dollar and energy-driven inflation concerns, impacting safe-haven flows and trading sentiment, as reported by FXStreet.

Mixed momentum as XAG tests Kijun resistance and oscillators diverge

On the technical front, XAG/USD is trading below the MA-20 but still above the MA-50 on the H1 chart, while remaining well under the long-term MA-200. Immediate resistance is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun at $57.69, with support formed by the recent local lows. Momentum signals are mixed: RSI suggests a buy signal, while MACD and ADX remain neutral; Stoch RSI shows overbought conditions. Both CCI and the Awesome Oscillator are also neutral, and Bull/Bear Power indicates strong intraday buyer strength amid moderate volatility.

Sideways bias likely unless resistance break triggers bullish follow-through

For the next 2 to 3 trading days, XAG/USD is likely to fluctuate between $56.84 and $58.12, reflecting a typical volatility band relative to current levels. There is a slightly higher probability of an upward move at 53%, with the chance of a decline at 47%. The baseline expectation is for silver to maintain a sideways trading range; a confirmed breakout above immediate resistance would open the way for bullish extension, while a break below current support could signal renewed downside pressure.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, analyst at Traders Union, sees underlying support for silver due to persistent real-economy demand from China and India. He believes positive sentiment in the broader precious metals space, reinforced by record gold ETF holdings, is constructive for silver market flows. The analyst notes that while price momentum is mixed short-term, fundamental and macro drivers remain supportive. "Strong physical buying and sector flows give silver an optimistic outlook, and I expect consolidation above key support to favor the bulls."

Earlier, analysts noted that silver was trading with mixed momentum signals amid persistent geopolitical risks, leaving its short-term direction uncertain. The current analysis adds a new dimension by highlighting robust investor and physical demand from Asia, suggesting that market participants should monitor the $57.69 resistance for signs of a potential breakout in the coming sessions.
