Silver Price Today: XAG/USD Slips Below $79 as Traders Watch Rebound Risk

On April 21st, silver was around $78.35, barely above the lowest point of the day, after another try at getting back to nearly $79 didn’t work.

In the short term, things are uncertain. It has gained some strength since its lowest price earlier in the day; as of now, silver is still under the resistance levels two analysts on X have identified.

All three of the charts are saying the same thing in essence: silver is trying to settle down after dropping in value, and XAG hasn’t proven that it’s going to start going up.

Analyst Chart Points to a Selling Area Near $80.30

Analyst UGO and The Big Steppers showed silver charts that essentially say to watch for selling at the higher levels. The selling zone is at roughly $80.20 to $80.34, and the lower support is around $78.98. On the second, the selling zone is at approximately $80.19 to $80.36, and support is between $78.92 and $78.96.

The silver chart on X has moved down from the top of that range and is now much nearer to support levels and further from resistance. The chart on the right also shows the price weakening as it went through the bottom of a blue box, indicating sellers were in charge after it failed to go above the upper zone. Also, the way things are developing, silver needs to hold the high $78s. If it goes below that, it could fall much further.

Analyst Shows a Retest Setup, But Not a Confirmed Reversal

AMForex has a chart showing silver going back to test its previous level, but not a confirmed turning point. Their XAG/USD chart views the price movement as a test of the previous levels rather than a solid break upwards. The price is going back to a line going up, which supports it after it went down from a resistance area between $80.00 and $80.20.

The comment on the X chart is wary. It cites the possibility of deep touch and bullish action here, but it also makes a clear statement, leaving no trade execution without any confirmation. That is important. The analyst does not come out demanding an immediate rally.

The analyst is indicating that silver has reached a stage where liquidators may react, but the arrangement has yet to be demonstrated. That has the short-term outlook balanced. Silver is close to a point where the bulls will attempt to intervene, but the price has not regained sufficient territory yet to make the structure decisively bullish.

Technical Shows Silver Stabilizing, But Resistance Still Caps Upside

At the time of writing, the technical chart showed silver / U.S. dollar at $78.352, down $0.162, or 0.21%, on the day. The session range was tight, with a high of $78.528 and a low of $78.263. Late in the session, the price dropped sharply and then recovered towards the mid-range.

The MACD figures on TradingView were slightly positive, and the MACD line was 0.033, the signal line was 0.042, and the histogram was 0.010. That implies that there is less bearish pressure and a slight recovery is building. The rebound is, however, not much, but the price is still below the zones indicated on X around the ranges of $79.80 to $80.30.

The daily arrangement is at present apprehensive. The support immediately is approximately at $78.26 and then $78.90 to $78.95, a structural zone indicated in the X charts. The resistance remains greater, initially around the $79.00 point, but then more so around the $80.00 to $80.36 points. Silver is attempting to regain it, yet still, bulls have to reclaim the upper area before the future becomes brighter.
