Highlights

Silver faces selling pressure as higher U.S. Treasury yields and a stronger dollar reduce demand from non-dollar buyers.
Technical support breaks and ongoing persistent inflation concerns have weakened market confidence in silver.
Silver trades below key moving averages, with momentum indicators pointing to a strong bearish trend and a projected range of $54.7 to $55.68.

Demand weakens as yields rise and inflation concerns persist

Silver has been affected by higher U.S. Treasury yields and a strengthening U.S. dollar, according to TradingKey. These macroeconomic forces have increased the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets and made silver relatively more expensive to purchasers using other currencies, dampening demand. Additionally, technical support breaches and ongoing concerns around persistent inflation have contributed to a weaker sentiment for silver in recent trading.

Bearish momentum and oversold signals as key supports break

XAG/USD is showing explicit weakness with the price positioned below the MA-20 at $56.65 and MA-50 at $57.22 on the H1 chart, and clearly beneath the MA-200 at $68.08 on the daily chart. The immediate resistance now aligns with the Ichimoku Kijun at $56.82. Momentum indicators provide a negative outlook, with both MACD and ADX revealing strong bearish conditions. RSI reads 27.29, and Stoch RSI as well as Bull/Bear Power both signal oversold territory, while CCI continues to issue a sell indication and Awesome Oscillator remains neutral. No notable divergences are present among momentum signals.

Downside risk dominates with limited upside amid tight trading range

Looking ahead to the next trading day, the expected price range for XAG/USD is $54.7 to $55.68. The likelihood of an upside move is considered very low, with downside risk remaining prominent. The most probable scenario is rangebound consolidation within these bounds. If XAG/USD breaks above the immediate Kijun resistance, a bullish scenario may emerge; a break below support levels would favor a continuation of declines.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees silver as technically weak and pressured by a challenging macro backdrop. He highlights persistent bearish momentum, with price action staying well below all key moving averages and momentum indicators deep in oversold territory. The analyst believes external forces like stronger U.S. yields and dollar strength are likely to keep demand subdued and sentiment negative. "With downside risks dominating, I see little reason for optimism until silver reclaims resistance levels with conviction."

Earlier, analysts noted that silver was exhibiting persistent downside momentum, with technical signals pointing to sustained weakness. The current analysis reinforces this bearish outlook, highlighting continued vulnerability amid macroeconomic headwinds, and suggests traders closely monitor for any decisive break below support as an indicator of renewed downside risk.
