Fed’s policy restraint and inflation data heighten pressure on silver

The US Federal Reserve held interest rates steady at 3.75%-4.00% on Wednesday, maintaining a relatively tight policy stance that has sustained elevated borrowing costs and limited demand for non-yielding assets such as Silver, according to FXStreet. In addition, US data released Thursday showed the September Personal Consumption Expenditures price index increased by 0.5% month-over-month, signaling ongoing inflationary pressures that may prompt further policy tightening. These developments have contributed to continued pressure on XAG as the market weighs prospects for monetary restraint against metals pricing.

Persistent downside momentum as XAG hits multiple oversold signals

On the technical front, XAG is trading below the MA-20 and MA-50 on the H4 chart and remains well below the MA-200 on the daily timeframe. The immediate resistance is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun level at $51.81. Momentum indicators reinforce a bearish market structure: MACD and ADX confirm a sell bias, while RSI is at a deeply oversold level of 20.07. Both Stochastic RSI and CCI also indicate oversold conditions, reflecting a temporarily stretched downside. Bull/Bear Power shows strong seller dominance, in line with the Awesome Oscillator, which supports the prevailing downtrend.

High probability of continued decline as volatility bands narrow

In the near term, XAG is expected to fluctuate between $48.06 and $50.35, defining a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The baseline scenario anticipates consolidation around the prevailing price zone. A bullish reversal would require a breakout above the $51.81 Ichimoku Kijun resistance, while a bearish continuation could see prices breach support, extending the downward momentum. The probability of further decline is estimated at 79%, with the rebound scenario less likely at 21%.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees sustained downside risks for Silver as tightening US monetary policy and persistent inflation pressures weigh on sentiment. He notes that the technical picture is decisively bearish, with all key momentum and structure indicators pointing lower. The likelihood of a bullish reversal is minimal unless the $51.81 resistance is reclaimed. "Base case remains consolidation or further decline — until XAG breaks above $51.81, sellers stay firmly in control."

Previously it was reported that silver faced persistent downside risk amid unfavorable technicals and a hawkish monetary policy environment. The current article reinforces this bearish view with both fresh macroeconomic data and technical signals, highlighting the need for traders to monitor potential price action around the $51.81 resistance as a trigger for any meaningful reversal.
