Failed rebound below resistance as safe-haven demand eases

The price recovery in Silver was reported to have stalled just below the $75 resistance area after rebounding from the $70 level. Safe-haven demand has softened as geopolitical risks in the Middle East decreased, accompanied by a cautious risk environment. The asset was also influenced by changes in the US Dollar, interest rates, and investor risk sentiment, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent weakness in Silver as price remains stuck below both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages. He notes the technical landscape is clearly bearish, with MACD, ADX, and recent price action all reinforcing the downside. Kharitonov highlights that despite some signs of seller exhaustion, the asset failed to hold above $75, and volatility signals further instability. He warns that waning safe-haven demand and prevailing risk sentiment sustain broad selling pressure. "Unless strong buyers step in above $75.50, I expect little near-term relief and remain defensive on Silver," Kharitonov says.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees opportunities ahead for Silver despite the recent setback. He points to a consistent buy signal across weekly indicators and believes the bullish structure remains intact above the key $69.44 level. Karapetjanc notes that receding geopolitical tensions and resilient investor sentiment could soon revive upside momentum. He underscores that the medium-term technical outlook offers scope for further growth if resistance at $75.50 breaks. "With multiple setups in play, I expect Silver to recover toward $79 as volatility supports active trading," says Karapetjanc.

Bearish momentum dominates despite signs of selling exhaustion

Momentum readings remain quite bearish on daily timeframes: the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) signals a strong sell, and the Average Directional Index (ADX) confirms a dominant downtrend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands near neutral, but Stochastic RSI on D1 gives a clear overbought warning, with the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) neutral. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) shows buyer dominance but is also in overbought territory, suggesting the recent selloff may be near exhaustion. The pair is down 6.16% intraday at $70.69, after opening with a clear downside gap of about $0.59. The price is near today’s low and intraday volatility stands at 9.18%, signaling strong pressure throughout the session. Daily momentum is bearish and in line with overall short-term sell signals, though some oscillators indicate near-term exhaustion and possible divergence.

Earlier, analysts noted that silver faced sustained volatility and mixed momentum signals, but highlighted the potential for fresh upside if macroeconomic and demand factors aligned. With current momentum readings affirming a dominant bearish trend yet pointing to possible exhaustion, traders should closely monitor the $75.50–$76 resistance cluster as a pivotal level that could redefine the near-term trajectory for silver.
