Silver faces declining safe-haven demand and increased market volatility due to persistent geopolitical tensions and a stronger US dollar.

Safe-haven demand weakens as US-Iran tensions and oil prices rise

Renewed US-Iran military escalations, including reports that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards targeted a US airbase in retaliation for recent US military action, have triggered heightened geopolitical risk and supply disruption fears, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz. These actions have contributed to a sharp rise in crude oil prices, intensifying persistent inflation concerns and leading to speculation that central banks will keep interest rates elevated for an extended period. The resulting environment of elevated oil prices, persistent geopolitical tension, and a stronger US dollar has reduced safe-haven demand for silver and increased volatility across precious metals markets. On May 29, tentative US-Iran negotiations for a ceasefire extension and new nuclear talks have modestly reduced immediate inflation and supply disruption concerns.

Seller control emerges as key indicators confirm cautious momentum

Short-term technical levels show Silver holding beneath the SMA-20 at $78.72 and SMA-50 at $76.82, while remaining supported over the SMA-200 at $74.45. The Ichimoku Kijun at $80.13 now acts as immediate resistance. MACD (D1) signals a Sell, and ADX is neutral at 14.88, indicating cautious momentum. RSI prints 47.03 (Sell), Stoch RSI registers an oversold 13.85, and CCI reads -84.67 (Sell), with BBP also marking intraday seller dominance. Awesome Oscillator remains neutral. The trading session saw Silver open near $75.50 and move close to the day's range low, with oscillators diverging from daily momentum to reflect prevailing seller control and moderate volatility.

Sideways bias dominates as upward breakout odds remain elevated

Over the next five days, typical volatility for Silver is projected within a $74.75 $76.15 band. Most price action is expected to fluctuate sideways inside this corridor, with the probability of an upward move exceeding 80%. If momentum accelerates and XAG breaks above $80.13, a move toward higher resistance cannot be ruled out. Conversely, a decisive decline below $74.45 would likely activate a move toward deeper weekly support.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, senior expert at Traders Union, sees silver pressured by ongoing geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices. He believes market sentiment for precious metals remains cautious, with strong inflationary undertones and limited safe-haven inflows. Technicals signal a neutral-to-bearish bias, but supported long-term levels suggest downside is contained for now. The partial easing in US-Iran risk is a stabilizing factor. "A sustained move above $76.15 could trigger renewed interest, but my bias remains constructive as long as silver holds the long-term support at $74.45."

Earlier, analysts noted that silver was under persistent bearish pressure, with sellers maintaining control amid weak technical momentum. The latest geopolitical developments and technical signals reinforce this cautious outlook, making the $80.13 resistance and $74.45 support the pivotal levels to watch for potential directional shifts in the days ahead.
