Silver price action remains subdued as geopolitical tensions ease. Bulls defend key support levels, but technical signs suggest potential for a retracement.
Silver ( XAG/USD ) is experiencing muted price action on Wednesday, slightly declining but remaining within Tuesday's trading range. At the time of writing, the precious metal is trading around $35.75 during the American session, representing a roughly 0.46% decrease on the day. This subdued movement reflects a diminishing safe-haven demand, driven by a lack of aggressive geopolitical tensions.
Notably, the truce between Iran and Israel has contributed to a cooling of the recent risk premium that propelled silver to multi-year highs.Silver is demonstrating early signs of technical fatigue after a powerful multi-week uptrend that lifted the metal from sub-$30 levels to 13-year highs near $37.00. A bearish divergence between price action and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) has emerged as a key red flag. While spot Silver reached fresh multi-year highs last week, the RSI peaked earlier and has since trended lower. With the RSI now easing towards 56, the bullish momentum appears to be moderating, encouraging cautious profit-taking from short-term traders. Today's price action sees XAG/USD trading near $35.75, modestly lower on the day, as it currently tests the lower boundary of a well-defined ascending channel. This structure has supported bullish momentum since mid-April. This support zone aligns closely with the middle Bollinger Band (20-day SMA), currently around $35.71. A decisive daily close below this confluence area could be the first concrete signal that bulls are losing their grip. The Bollinger Bands have begun to contract after widening considerably during Silver's rally. Such narrowing typically precedes a significant directional move. If the lower channel support around $35.60–$35.70 gives way, it could pave the way for deeper retracements near $34.00. Volatility, as captured by the Average True Range (ATR 14), has also tapered off to 0.78, suggesting that the explosive moves of early June are giving way to more measured price action. This could imply that the market is entering a consolidation phase or preparing for a breakout reversal
