XAG/USD Analysis: Silver Price Approaching $35

FXOpen

Precious metal prices are fluctuating near multi-year highs due to safe-haven demand driven by:
→ Uncertainty surrounding the U.S. elections,
→ Ongoing tensions in the Middle East,
→ Expectations of central banks lowering interest rates.

As seen on the XAG/USD chart, silver prices:
→ Are near their highest levels in 12 years,
→ Are approaching the $35 mark,
→ Have risen by over 43% since the start of the year.

Technical analysis of the XAG/USD chart indicates that silver is following an upward trend (shown in a blue channel), with the current price near its median line. This suggests a potential balance between supply and demand, which could stabilise price fluctuations.

Key observations:
→ A red resistance line on the chart reflects a corrective phase within the blue channel.
→ Breaking through this resistance in September triggered a strong bullish impulse (marked by a blue arrow).
→ This impulse was so robust that it pushed the price above the psychological $30 level, turning it into support.

A similar pattern might emerge in the future. After another strong bullish move (marked by a second blue arrow), the $32.5 level could also become a support area.
