Silver (XAG\/USD) rose after holding below the $75.00 level and ending a two-day fall that reached a one-month low. It traded just under the mid-$76.00s, up nearly 1.5% on the day, though the setup remains cautious.<\/p>\n
Price action follows a break below a short-term rising trend line and a move under the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement of the February\u2013March rise. The MACD (12, 26, close, 9) stays below the signal line and has moved back under zero, pointing to increasing downside momentum.<\/p>\n
The RSI has lifted slightly from oversold levels but remains below 50, which keeps selling pressure in place. As long as price stays below the former trend-line support area, gains beyond $76.45 (the 61.8% retracement) are described as limited.<\/p>\n
Support is seen near $75.90, then at $70.96, which matches the 78.6% retracement. A move above $80.30, the 50.0% retracement resistance, would be needed to reduce the bearish tone and suggest buyers are returning.<\/p>\n

We see a prevailing bearish sentiment for silver, as the recent breakdown below the short-term trend-line remains a significant signal. With the MACD and RSI indicators suggesting sustained selling pressure, any upward movement towards the $76.45 resistance might be an opportunity to initiate short positions. This could involve buying put options or selling call spreads to capitalize on potential further downside.<\/p>\n
This technical weakness is compounded by macroeconomic factors, with the February 2026 CPI data coming in slightly above expectations at 2.8%. Recent commentary from Federal Reserve officials hints at a continued restrictive stance, which is keeping the US dollar firm. A strong dollar typically creates headwinds for dollar-denominated commodities like silver, reinforcing our cautious outlook.<\/p>\n
We are also watching for signs of slowing industrial demand, particularly after the record solar panel installations we tracked throughout 2025. Data from the first quarter of 2026 shows a slight moderation in this growth, which could remove a key pillar of support for silver prices. Furthermore, a look at major silver ETFs shows net outflows of over 1.5 million ounces in the last month, a stark contrast to the heavy inflows seen during the rally last spring.<\/p>\n
Given this outlook, we believe traders could look at purchasing puts with a strike price below the $75.90 support level, targeting a move towards the $70.96 area in the coming weeks. A break and close above the $80.30 resistance would invalidate this bearish perspective and signal a need to reassess our positions. For now, the path of least resistance appears to be to the downside.<\/p>\n
