Silver price (XAG/USD) remains tepid near $24.15 during Friday’s generally inactive early Asian session. In doing so, the metal bears take a breather after falling the most on a day since early March.
That said, the oversold conditions of the RSI (14) line join the tops marked in late March, as well as early April, around $24.10-15 to prod the metal sellers of late.
Even so, a sustained downside break of the 200-SMA and an upward-sloping support line from late March, respectively near $24.95 and $25.10, keep the Silver bears hopeful of refreshing the monthly low, currently around $24.13.
In that case, a seven-week-old horizontal support zone surrounding $23.60-55 gains the major attention of the XAG/USD sellers.
Following that, 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracement levels of the metal’s March-May upside, close to $23.00 and $22.30 in that order, will be in the spotlight.
On the contrary, Silver price recovery needs validation from the 200-SMA and previous support line stretched from late March, around $24.95 and $25.10 in that order, to convince short-term buyers.
However, multiple hurdles around $25.30-40 and $25.80 challenge the XAG/USD upside past $25.10 before directing the bullion towards the latest peak of $26.13.
