Silver price struggles to extend its rally that began last Monday, posting back-to-back days of losses, due to a risk-on impulse, despite overall US Dollar (USD) weakness across the board. From a price action standpoint, the XAG/USD formed a ‘tweezers-top’ chart pattern, which warrants further downward action is expected; hence, XAG/USD is trading at $23.48, down 0.92%.
After forming the ‘tweezers top’, the XAG/USD resumed its downtrend but it was capped by the 200-day moving average (DMA) at $23.28 before resuming above the November 16 daily low of $23.28. A daily close above the latter could open the door to re-test the $24.00 figure.
On the other hand, if sellers stepped in, and kept prices below the $24.00 mark, the chances for a pullback to the 200-DMA increase, followed by the $23.00 mark. Further downside is expected beneath that level, exposing the latest cycle low seen at $21.88, the November 13 low.
