Positioning cautious as traders await US GDP impact

The market is consolidating ahead of the preliminary US Q4 GDP release, which is expected to influence trading sentiment in the precious metals sector. Caution prevails among market participants in advance of this key economic indicator.

Mixed momentum as bearish signals clash with support levels

Technical analysis indicates silver is supported above its MA-20 ($79.30) and MA-200 ($58.40) but still faces medium-term pressure beneath the MA-50 ($85.65), with resistance defined by the Ichimoku Kijun at $92.88. Daily chart signals are mixed — the MACD and ADX continue to show bearish momentum, while RSI, Stochastic RSI, and CCI readings are neutral or slightly oversold, suggesting some selling exhaustion and a split between indicators. Bull/Bear Power reads "oversold" but has shifted intraday to overbought on shorter timeframes, implying renewed buyer interest; however, the Awesome Oscillator remains neutral, offering little confirmation.

Upside favored as technical signals suggest limited downside risk

For the upcoming week, XAG is expected to trade within a typical volatility band of $78.00 – $84.50. With three out of four weekly signals (RSI, ADX, MACD, and MA-50) giving Buy indications, there is more than an 80% likelihood of continuation to the upside, while the risk of sustained decline is low. The base scenario is for sideways movement between immediate resistance and support levels. A breakout above $84.50 could drive further buying, while a drop below $78.00 may expose XAG to additional selling pressure.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Traders Union expert, believes silver shows early signs of recovery as buyers re-enter amid market consolidation ahead of the US Q4 GDP release. He notes the technical setup remains constructive, with price holding key short-term and long-term averages despite medium-term headwinds. Macro sentiment acts as a tailwind, while oversold conditions hint at reduced downside risk. Karapetjanc sees strong potential for an upside continuation if resistance is breached. "With market focus on U.S. data and underlying momentum improving, I expect XAG to trend higher in the coming sessions as long as support holds."

Previously it was reported that silver is recovering momentum amid heightened U.S.–Iran geopolitical risks, with trading remaining volatile as headlines drive sharp intraday reversals and dollar strength weighs on upside potential. Technicals show buyers stepping in near the $74–75 support zone while resistance near $79.20 caps rallies, and traders are watching whether silver can sustain levels above the upper-$70s to confirm a broader rebound.
