๐ก Key Market Factors
Silver prices have recently experienced a notable decline, with a weekly change of -8.71%, driven predominantly by shifting expectations around U.S. interest rates. The Federal Reserve's hawkish stance and potential for further rate hikes have increased the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like silver, exerting downward pressure on prices. As a result, investor sentiment remains cautious amid a stronger dollar environment. From a technical perspective, silver is trading below both its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, indicating a bearish trend. The current RSI of 45.7 suggests that silver is neither overbought nor oversold, providing limited directional bias. Key resistance is situated at the Fibonacci 50.0% retracement level of $76.49, while immediate support may be found near the psychological level of $70, should the downtrend persist. Geopolitical tensions have not significantly impacted silver's supply and demand dynamics recently, allowing macroeconomic factors like interest rates to dominate market movements. Without any major disruptions in silver-producing regions or significant policy changes, the market's focus remains firmly on economic indicators and central bank policy.๐ Technical Indicators Summary
