Silver oscillates in a range and remains close to a multi-week low touched on Tuesday.
The technical setup favors bearish traders and supports prospects for further losses.
Bears still need to wait for a sustained break below $30.00 before placing fresh bets.
Silver (XAG/USD) lacks any firm intraday direction on Thursday and oscillates in a narrow trading band around mid-$30.00s through the first half of the European session. The white metal remains within the striking distance of a nearly three-week low touched on Tuesday and seems vulnerable to prolonging its rejection slide from the $33.0 neighborhood, or the highest level since December 2012 set last week.
The recent repeated failures to capitalize on momentum beyond the $32.00 mark constitute the formation of a bearish multiple-tops on the daily chart. Moreover, oscillators on the daily chart have started gaining negative traction and add credence to the near-term bearish outlook for the XAG/USD. That said, it will still be prudent to wait for a sustained break and acceptance below the $30.00 psychological mark before positioning for any further depreciating move.
The subsequent downfall could drag the XAG/USD to the $29.75-$29.60 confluence support – comprising the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the 50-day SMA. A convincing break below the latter should pave the way for a fall towards the $29.00 mark en route to the next relevant support near the $28.60-$28.50 zone.
