Analysis of the Silver Price: XAG/USD falls toward weekly support under $23.50

The silver price (XAG/USD) remains below $23.60 among Wednesday's weak markets. In doing so, the precious metal falls for a third straight day, despite slight gains.

However, the continuous trading below the 200-Hour Moving Average (HMA) gives sellers reason for optimism. Even yet, the positive MACD indications and largely stable RSI (14) suggest that downside potential is constrained.

The XAG/USD appears to be supported by an upward-sloping support line from last Thursday, which, as of press time, is located near $23.50.

In the event that sellers of Silver are able to overcome the $23.50 support level, the $23.11 monthly low and the $23.00 round number will receive significant attention.

Nonetheless, the $22.50 level promises to be a formidable obstacle for XAG/USD bears going forward, since it contains the June 2022 high and the December low.

In the meantime, an upside clearance of the 200-HMA, at $23.80 at the latest, is insufficient for the Silver buyer's conviction, as a downward-sloping resistance line from January 03, near $23.90, will test the quote's further gains.

Also acting as a barrier to the upside is the $24.00 round number, a breach of which could swiftly lead prices to challenge the current monthly high of $24.55.
