Reduced futures positions as global sentiment turns cautious

Silver futures trading positions were reduced on MCX amid a broader sell-off, while international silver markets saw cautious sentiment with limited investor participation and flat global prices, marking restrained activity in the commodities space.

Negative momentum and oversold signals as volatility spikes

The technical picture shows Silver above its 20-day moving average but under the 50-day, indicating short-term strength amid medium-term selling pressure; long-term trend support is observed with prices above the 200-day average, and immediate resistance at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $69.35. Momentum indicators remain negative, with both MACD and ADX on the daily chart showing pronounced downward movement. The RSI is near 46, signaling sustained selling pressure, while Stoch RSI and Bull/Bear Power indicate oversold conditions and seller dominance, respectively. The CCI reads neutral and the Awesome Oscillator does not reinforce the prevailing trend, as the price closed near the session's lows following sharp intraday volatility.

Further downside risk as rebound odds diminish in consolidation

In the next five trading days, XAG is expected to fluctuate within a typical volatility band between $71.00 and $77.00. The chance of a rebound is low, with the probability of a price increase assessed at less than 20%, favoring further declines. Base case expectations are for consolidation within this range as the market processes oversold momentum and resists further downside. A bullish move would require a break and close above immediate resistance at $69.35 and recovery toward $76.00, while a fall below $72.00 could intensify short-term selling.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees technical indicators pointing to persistent selling in Silver, despite the asset holding above its long-term average. He notes that momentum remains negative and short-term volatility is unlikely to trigger a sustained rebound, especially with weak sentiment and cautious market participation. The analyst believes consolidation near current levels is more likely than a breakout. "With resistance at $69.35 still intact and downside risks present, I remain defensive until clear bullish signals emerge."

In a recent review, analysts highlighted a cautiously bullish outlook for silver driven by supportive technicals and easing geopolitical tensions. However, the current correction and persistent downside momentum introduce a notable shift, making sustained consolidation within the $71.00–$77.00 range and potential downside breaks the key scenarios to monitor in the days ahead.
