Silver Price Forecast: XAG/USD rises to near $72.50 due to bullish bias

POPULAR ARTICLES

Silver price (XAG/USD) gains nearly 4%, trading around $75.50 during the European hours on Monday. The technical analysis of the daily chart timeframe suggests the price of the precious metal remains within an ascending channel pattern, suggesting a persistent bullish bias.

Silver price may rise toward the upper ascending channel boundary around $83.10.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index at 66.57 signals bullish momentum without reaching overbought levels.
The immediate support lies at the nine-day Exponential Moving Average of $72.38.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 66.57 remains bullish without entering overbought territory. RSI has turned higher again, reinforcing improving bullish pressure.

The nine-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) rises well above the 50-day EMA, and the XAG/USD pair holds over both, preserving an upward bias. Both averages maintain positive slopes after a sustained advance. Momentum stays supportive while the metal consolidates above the rising nine-day EMA, keeping the path of least resistance to the upside.

The short-term average remains bullish and keeps the topside in focus, and opens a path toward resistance at the upper boundary of the ascending channel around $83.10. A break above the channel would help the Silver price to approach the record high of $85.87, which was recorded on December 29, 2025.

On the downside, the immediate support aligns at the nine-day EMA of $72.38, followed by the lower ascending channel boundary around $72.10. A daily close below the channel would open a correction toward the 50-day EMA at $60.85.

Silver FAQs

Why do people invest in Silver?

Silver is a precious metal highly traded among investors. It has been historically used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Although less popular than Gold, traders may turn to Silver to diversify their investment portfolio, for its intrinsic value or as a potential hedge during high-inflation periods. Investors can buy physical Silver, in coins or in bars, or trade it through vehicles such as Exchange Traded Funds, which track its price on international markets.

Which factors influence Silver prices?

Silver prices can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can make Silver price escalate due to its safe-haven status, although to a lesser extent than Gold's. As a yieldless asset, Silver tends to rise with lower interest rates. Its moves also depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAG/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Silver at bay, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to propel prices up. Other factors such as investment demand, mining supply – Silver is much more abundant than Gold – and recycling rates can also affect prices.

How does industrial demand affect Silver prices?

Silver is widely used in industry, particularly in sectors such as electronics or solar energy, as it has one of the highest electric conductivity of all metals – more than Copper and Gold. A surge in demand can increase prices, while a decline tends to lower them. Dynamics in the US, Chinese and Indian economies can also contribute to price swings: for the US and particularly China, their big industrial sectors use Silver in various processes; in India, consumers’ demand for the precious metal for jewellery also plays a key role in setting prices.

How do Silver prices react to Gold’s moves?

Silver prices tend to follow Gold's moves. When Gold prices rise, Silver typically follows suit, as their status as safe-haven assets is similar. The Gold/Silver ratio, which shows the number of ounces of Silver needed to equal the value of one ounce of Gold, may help to determine the relative valuation between both metals. Some investors may consider a high ratio as an indicator that Silver is undervalued, or Gold is overvalued. On the contrary, a low ratio might suggest that Gold is undervalued relative to Silver.
