- Silver fails to extend weekly resistance breakout, eases below key moving averages.
- Strong RSI needs the seller to drop back below previous resistance.
- Descending the trend line from February 23 adds to the upside barriers.
Silver refreshes intraday low to $26.67, currently around $26.72, in a pullback move during Wednesday’s Asian session. In doing so, the quote fizzles the previous day’s notable recovery moves from late-January lows.
It should, however, be noted that the commodity keeps upside break of one-week-old trend line resistance, now support, amid strong RSI conditions.
Hence, the latest pullback needs to decline below the stated resistance line, at $26.20 now, before recalling the silver sellers.
Following that, the recent low, also the lowest since January 28, near $25.85, will be the key as a downside break of which will derail Tuesday’s recovery and direct silver bears to sub-$24.00 area.
Alternatively, 100-HMA and 200-HMA guard the quote’s immediate upside around $27.00 and $27.30 respectively.
Also acting as an upside barrier is the short-term descending trend line, at $28.00 now.
Overall, silver faces an uphill task and hence sellers should remain hopeful.
