Silver Price Forecast: XAG/USD tests rising channel support, momentum indicators flash caution
Silver (XAG/USD) is showing muted price action on Wednesday, slipping modestly lower but staying within Tuesday’s range. At the time of writing, the metal is trading around $35.75 during the American session, down roughly 0.46% on the day. The subdued movement reflects fading safe-haven demand, as signs of easing geopolitical tensions — particularly the truce between Iran and Israel — have cooled the recent risk premium that helped drive Silver to multi-year highs.
Silver is showing early signs of technical fatigue after a strong multi-week uptrend that saw the metal climb from sub-$30 levels to 13-year highs near $37.00. One of the key red flags came from a bearish divergence between price action and the Relative Strength Index (RSI). While spot Silver pushed to fresh multi-year highs last week, the RSI peaked earlier and has since trended lower. With RSI now easing toward 56, the bullish momentum appears to be moderating, inviting cautious profit-taking from short-term traders
Today’s price action sees XAG/USD trading near $35.75, modestly lower on the day, as it currently tests the lower boundary of a well-defined ascending channel. This structure has underpinned bullish momentum since mid-April. This support zone aligns closely with the middle Bollinger Band (20-day SMA), currently around $35.71. A decisive daily close below this confluence area could be the first concrete signal that bulls are losing grip.
