Silver Price Breaks February Resistance Line

As seen on the XAG/USD chart, silver has today breached the upper boundary of the descending channel formed by February’s lower highs and lows.

Bullish sentiment is supported by heightened geopolitical tensions and rising demand for safe-haven assets. According to media reports:

→ On Thursday, US President Donald Trump warned Iran that it must reach an agreement on its nuclear programme, or “really bad things” would happen, setting a 10–15 day deadline.

→ In response, Tehran threatened retaliatory strikes on US bases in the region if attacked.

On 11 February, analysing the XAG/USD chart, we noted that silver was consolidating between two key levels:
→ resistance around $87.5–95
→ support near $70

Today’s bullish breakout of the channel’s upper boundary – which acted as resistance in February – can be interpreted as a move towards the $87.5–95 zone.

Confidence for bulls is further reinforced by an inverted head and shoulders (SHS) pattern. If buyers are determined, this should be confirmed by XAG/USD holding above:
→ the channel breakout level near $79
→ the psychological $80 mark.
