Broader selling persists as yields spike and regulatory shifts emerge

On March 20, 2026, persistently high US Treasury yields above 4.30% and recent central bank decisions were reported as factors influencing Silver. The spot price broke below a head-and-shoulders pattern following these announcements, accompanied by ongoing market support from geopolitical tensions and developments affecting precious metals. In regulatory news, US lawmakers introduced the SILVER Act to modernize the nation’s precious metals storage and reduce systemic risks, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Momentum stays bearish with oversold signals and key resistance in play

Technical momentum remains negative for XAG, with the asset trading well below the SMA-20 ($82.57) and SMA-50 ($82.48), while staying above the SMA-200 ($64.90) for longer-term support. Immediate resistance is defined by the Ichimoku Kijun level at $81.72. Indicators show negative momentum: MACD and ADX signal a continued sell bias, and daily RSI (32.51) and Stoch RSI (3.05) reflect oversold conditions. Intraday seller dominance is further confirmed by CCI (-203.21) and BBP (-5.84, "Oversold"). The Awesome Oscillator reinforces the bearish trend, and a mild gap down at the open ($67.31 vs. prior close $72.35) was followed by a rebound toward the upper half of the day’s volatile range ($65.86 – $74.50). Momentum continues to favor sellers, although short-term oscillators suggest a chance for corrective movement.

Downside bias likely as volatility bands cap limited rebound odds

Over the next five trading days, XAG is projected to trade in a volatility band between $69.00 and $75.50. The probability of an upward move is less than 20%, making further declines more likely. The base scenario is for silver to remain range-bound around current levels amid high volatility. A move above immediate resistance at $81.72 would signal potential for a recovery, while a drop below $69.00 could lead to further losses toward the longer-term support near the SMA-200 at $64.90.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, Traders Union expert, sees Silver trading below key short- and medium-term technical levels but supported by its longer-term trend. He notes that high US Treasury yields and central bank actions have shaped recent downside, while the introduction of the SILVER Act could add long-term stability. Despite strong selling, oversold technicals suggest a window for corrective rebound. Karapetjanc believes volatility will persist, yet broader macro support and regulatory developments should not be dismissed. "If silver holds above $69.00, I remain optimistic for a recovery to take shape in the coming weeks."

Earlier, analysts noted that silver was under sustained selling pressure as bearish technical signals and macroeconomic uncertainty dominated the outlook. Current momentum and oversold conditions reaffirm the bearish scenario, making a breakdown below $69.00 a potential trigger for further downside toward the longer-term SMA-200 support.
