Silver prices steadied in Asian trade Friday, consolidating just below the fresh 14-year high of $48.05/oz reached in the prior session. Spot silver was last seen at $47.10, holding firm within a strong upward channel that has guided gains since mid-summer.
Technical indicators continue to highlight a bullish setup. The metal remains above its nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), reflecting positive short-term momentum. However, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits above 70, placing silver in overbought territory and signaling the possibility of near-term pullbacks.
Resistance and Support Levels
Market technicians note that silver’s path higher remains intact, with traders watching for a breakout above the channel’s upper boundary.
Key levels to watch:
- Upside targets: $48.70 (channel resistance) and $50.00 (psychological level)
- Immediate support: $47.00 (psychological barrier)
- Secondary support: $46.02 (nine-day EMA)
- Deeper downside: $43.70 (channel floor) and $41.55 (50-day EMA)
A sustained push above $48.70 would reinforce bullish sentiment, while a drop below $47.00 could test short-term conviction in the rally.
Bullish Bias Meets Overbought Risk
Silver has been buoyed by safe-haven demand amid global macro uncertainty and investor positioning ahead of potential Federal Reserve rate cuts later this year.
The metal’s performance has outpaced other precious metals, supported by both investment flows and industrial usage in sectors such as solar and electronics.
Yet, analysts caution that elevated RSI readings suggest the rally could be overextended. If momentum stalls, the market could see profit-taking before attempting another push higher.
For now, silver’s bullish bias remains dominant, with traders balancing the potential for new all-time highs against the risk of a short-term correction.
