However,  erased its gains, and at the time of typing, it meanders around $19.10s. Worth noting that on its way south, the white metal tumbled below the 100 and the 20-day EMAs, so as mentioned above, the bias remains unchanged.

Short term, the XAG/USD is range-bound. However, traders should be aware that the Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) remain below the spot price except for the 50 and 100-EMA, hovering around the daily pivot point at $19.25 and $19.37, respectively. Also, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) below the 50-midline is trendless, meaning that silver is consolidated.

Key resistance levels lie at the 50-EMA at $19.25, followed by the daily pivot level at $19.28, ahead of the 100-EMA at $19.37. On the flip side, the XAG/USD first support would be the confluence of the 20 and 200-EMA at $19.12, followed by the S1 daily pivot at $18.93, followed by the S2 pivot level at $18.65.
