Article Summary

On the H4 timeframe, Silver is forming a short-term uptrend with a higher low – higher high structure after establishing a base around 60–61 USD. Price has broken above the 75–76 zone and remains above the EMA, signaling improving buying pressure. However, the rally is losing momentum as it approaches the key resistance at 80.5–81.5, while RSI has yet to confirm sufficient strength for a breakout. In the short term, holding the 75–76 support will be critical to sustaining the uptrend; otherwise, the risk of a pullback toward 70 USD will increase.

On the H4 timeframe, Silver (XAGUSD) is showing signs of shifting into a recovery phase within a short-term uptrend after forming a bottom around the 60–61 USD area. The current price structure has established a series of higher lows and higher highs, while also moving within a relatively clear ascending channel.

Silver is maintaining a short-term bullish structure, but the failure to break above the 80–82 zone suggests a lack of momentum. The current trend largely depends on whether the 75–76 support can hold in the coming sessions.

After breaking above the 75–76 USD level and maintaining its position above the EMA, it suggests that buying pressure is gradually gaining control. However, the latest upward move is starting to lose momentum as price approaches the key resistance zone around 80.5–81.5 USD, where strong selling pressure previously emerged.

At the moment, price is showing signs of a mild pullback after failing to sustain above this resistance, while the H4 RSI is hovering around neutral levels, indicating that bullish momentum is not yet strong enough to confirm a breakout.

In the short-term scenario, if Silver manages to hold above the 75–76 USD support zone, the upward trend within the channel remains intact, with the potential to retest the 80–82 USD area. On the other hand, a breakdown below this level could lead to a deeper pullback toward the 70 USD support zone.
