XAG/USD: technical analysis

Current trend

In the first half of last week silver was trading in the narrow range; however after the sharp leap on Wednesday the price of the metal went up to the level of 23.40. By the end of the week the pair XAG/USD dropped again and is now trading at the level of 21.75. Strong support is at the level of 21.55, which coincides with Fibonacci level of 61.8%. The Bears tried to break down this level several times; however their attempts have been unsuccessful.
Stochastic is in the oversold zone and is giving a buy signal. The signal line of MACD is in the positive zone, but directed downward. If the signal line crosses the zero line, we will get a sell signal.

At the moment resistance levels are 22.00, 22.25, 22.60 and 22.90. Support levels are 21.50, 21.20 and 21.00.

Trading tips
At this stage the Bears are unlikely to overcome the level of 21.50; therefore it is recommended to place limit buy orders at this level. Limit sell orders can be placed at the levels of 22.90 and 23.40.
