Silver price prediction: XAG/USD set for 5th straight day gain despite strong U.S. dollar
Silver has extended its bullish momentum, notching four consecutive upside daily closes, each supported by rising trading volumes.
This consistency suggests that market participants are building bullish positions despite bouts of profit-taking during intraday sessions. The surge in activity is especially notable, as the previous day’s volume was the highest in more than 17 days, a sign of renewed demand for the metal.
Highlights
- Silver extends four-day rally as traders build positions on rate cut hopes.
- Rising volumes confirm bullish conviction as XAG/USD nears key $41 resistance level.
- Overbought RSI fails to stall silver’s September momentum above $40 support.
On Wednesday, September 3rd, silver price pattern follows a familiar script seen in prior days. In early Asian trading, silver briefly pushed above the prior day’s high to reach $40.97 before slipping to an intraday low of $40.62 as profit takers acted. By the European session, momentum returned to the upside, lifting the metal to around $40.82 in an attempt to offset earlier losses. This renewed push higher was matched by growing volume, reinforcing the case for continued strength.

Momentum indicators also highlight the strength of this rally. Since the start of September, silver’s daily RSI has crossed above 70, confirming overbought conditions. Yet instead of triggering a deeper pullback, price action is on track for a third straight day of gains in September, adding to a week-to-date advance of 2.9%. This performance marks the third consecutive week of gains for the metal.
Silver investors continue to price in Fed rate cuts despite strong Dollar
Macroeconomic forces are providing an added boost. Traders increasingly believe that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates this month, a prospect that benefits non-yielding assets like silver. Interestingly, even as bonds weakened and the U.S. dollar strengthened in the previous session, silver and gold sustained their gains, showing that investors are not finished pricing in the rate cut narrative. Trade-related uncertainties also continue to reinforce the appeal of precious metals as safe-haven assets, further supporting demand.
From a technical standpoint, the immediate near-term target lies at the $41.0 psychological level, which traders are now watching closely. While the overbought RSI raises the prospect of short-term profit-taking, initial support is well-defined around $40.30. This level is reinforced by the 20 EMA on the four-hour chart, making it a crucial pivot should price experience a retracement.
Overall, silver’s trend remains firmly supported by both technical momentum and fundamental expectations. As long as volumes continue to expand and macro conditions favor lower interest rates, the metal looks positioned to challenge higher resistance levels, even if brief corrections emerge along the way.
Silver trades near $38.65 after an early rebound, with U.S. data set to shape direction. Silver price outlook depends on holding the 100 EMA support on 1hr chart.
