Silver Price Analysis – Silver Sees Bottom Fishing Despite Death Cross

Silver Technical Analysis

The silver market has bounced a bit during the early part of the trading session on Monday, as it looks like, despite the fact that rates are grinding a little bit higher in the United States, silver is finding some bottom fishing.

The 50-day EMA has recently broken below the 200-day EMA indicator, opening up the possibility of a more bearish attitude, as it is the so-called Death Cross. It tends to attract a lot of headlines, but the reality is that it’s the stronger US dollar and stronger interest rates that have been the biggest thorn in the side of silver bulls. This remains the biggest obstacle that is obvious to me.

Geopolitical Headwinds and Technical Support Floors

The situation in the Middle East continues to be a major problem for silver as it’s just taken some of the luster out of this market. That being said, silver is still undersupplied, objectively speaking, around the world, and therefore, longer-term, it’s probably got quite a bit of demand to push it higher in the electrification trade, for example.

That being said, it does look like a market that continues to punish rallies, and it’s worth noting that the $50 level below is an area that’s been important multiple times in the past, going all the way back to the late 1970s, and therefore, I suspect traders are looking to test that again.

As things stand right now, every time this market’s rallied, the sellers have returned, so something to keep in mind. Silver continues to be a messy market at this point in time, but the longer-term picture is, of course, a lot different than the action that we have seen in the recent past.
