Silver Price Chart: Daily
The white metal has managed to recapture the critical 50-day simple moving average (SMA) at $26.47 but the recovery remains capped below the 21-day SMA at $27. 24.
The XAG bulls need a firm break above the 21-day SMA barrier to extend the recovery from three-week troughs of $26.14 reached last Friday.
The next critical barrier is aligned at the psychological $27.50 mark.

Further south, the 100-day SMA support at $25.37 could come into play.
