Silver breaks key support to refresh three-month low, bears eye sub-$22.00
On Friday, silver prices closed at the lowest levels last seen during early February while portraying a seven-day downtrend. Not only that, but the bright metal also ended up breaking the key support line stretched from mid-December 2021. The south-run, hence, gets validation to challenge a four-month-old horizontal area surrounding $21.90. However, oversold RSI may test the bears around 78.6% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) of December 2021 to March 2022 upside, near $22.60-55. Should the quote remains weak past-$21.90, the downside move won’t hesitate to challenge the late 2021 bottom of $21.40.
Meanwhile, the corrective pullback will initially aim for the 61.8% Fibo level close to $23.50. Following that, the 200-DMA and the 100-DMA can question the optimists near $23.80 and $23.90 respectively. Also acting as an upside hurdle is March’s low near $24.00 and January’s high near $24.70.
Hence, silver bears have control until prices rally beyond $24.70. Though, there’s a bumpy road to the downside.
