Silver finds some support at the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), making a modest rebound for the second day. It seems that the white metal has halted its pullback and is attempting to attract some significant buyers.
From a technical perspective, the XAG/USD pair is holding above the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day SMAs, which favors the bulls. However, oscillators on the daily chart are attempting to move into negative territory, which calls for some caution before positioning for further growth. The 50-day SMA is likely to protect against an immediate decline ahead of the round level of $29.00.
A convincing breakthrough below it will shift the short-term bias in favor of bears and set the stage for a significant decline. Then, the XAG/USD pair will accelerate its drop towards the next corresponding support, around $28.35, before potentially settling at the $28.00 level. The downward trajectory could continue towards support at $27.55 on the way to the round level of $27.00 and the 100-day SMA.
On the other hand, the psychological level of $30.00 could serve as an immediate strong barrier before the region around $30.50. This would be followed by a resistance zone near $30.80, above which the XAG/USD pair could attempt to surpass the round level of $31.00 and test the next obstacle around $31.35. Further upward movement would enable bulls to reclaim the round level of $32.00 and retest the $32.50 resistance zone - the year's high.
