• Silver takes a U-turn from intraday low to consolidate recent losses.
• Clear break of weekly rising channel, sustained trading below two-day-old descending trend channel favor bears.
• Bulls need to cross $22.10 to validate short-term rebounds.

Silver (XAG/USD) picks up bids to $21.40 as it pares the daily loss during  Thursday’s Asian session.

In doing so, the bright metal bounces off the 100-HMA and support line of a two-day-old descending trend channel.

However, falling RSI (14) joins the successful break of the weekly rising channel to keep sellers hopeful.

That said, a fresh downside awaits a clear break of the $21.30 support confluence before targeting the $21.00 threshold.

It’s worth noting that $20.80 and the recent lows of $20.45 may entertain XAG/USD sellers past-$21.00, but before highlighting the $20.00 psychological magnet.

Meanwhile, recovery moves may initially aim for the immediate channel’s resistance, around $21.70, before targeting that two-week-long horizontal area and lower line of the broader channel near $22.10.

In a case where silver prices remain firm past $22.10, the odds of witnessing $23.00 on the chart can’t be ruled out.
