Silver prices are heading into Monday trading with a constructive near-term bias after XAG/USD advanced on Friday and reached around $66.76, its highest level since September 10. Silver is also on track to finish the week more than 3% higher, although the broader technical picture remains cautious as trend strength continues to show limited conviction.

The latest recovery has been helped by a pullback in the US Dollar as traders took profits following its strong weekly advance. However, elevated US Treasury yields and expectations that the Federal Reserve could maintain a hawkish stance remain important obstacles for precious metals.

XAG/USD is currently trading above both its 50-day and 100-day Simple Moving Averages, keeping the near-term structure constructive. At the same time, the RSI at 55 points to mild bullish momentum without indicating overbought conditions, while the ADX at 12 highlights the lack of a strong directional trend.

The immediate upside level is $68.11, followed by $72.17 and the 200-day SMA at $73.18.

Silver Price Today: XAG/USD Rebounds Above $66

Silver has regained momentum after moving lower earlier in the week, with XAG/USD reaching $66.76 on Friday.

The move has coincided with a weaker US Dollar during the session as traders took profits following the Greenback’s strong weekly performance.

For silver, movements in the US Dollar remain particularly important because the metal is priced in dollars. A weaker Dollar can make silver relatively cheaper for international buyers and can improve demand for the metal.

The recovery therefore comes from a combination of technical support, Dollar weakness and renewed buying interest in precious metals.

However, the rally has not yet developed into a strong trend.

US Treasury Yields Remain a Major Headwind for Silver

One of the main risks to the silver recovery is the level of US Treasury yields.

Higher yields increase the opportunity cost of holding non-interest-bearing assets such as precious metals. If Treasury yields continue to rise, silver could find it more difficult to extend its recent gains.

The Federal Reserve’s recent 25-basis-point rate increase has also reinforced the importance of US monetary policy for precious metals.

The Fed has indicated that additional tightening may still be required to bring inflation back toward its 2% target, leaving markets sensitive to incoming US economic data and changes in interest-rate expectations.

This creates a fundamental obstacle for silver even as its technical structure improves.

Federal Reserve Policy Keeps Silver Traders Cautious

The Federal Reserve remains one of the most important variables for XAG/USD.

Higher US interest rates and expectations for further tightening generally provide support for the US Dollar and Treasury yields, both of which can weigh on precious metals.

However, if markets begin to anticipate a less restrictive US monetary-policy path, the Dollar and Treasury yields could come under pressure.

That would potentially provide silver with additional room to move higher.

For Monday and the sessions ahead, traders will therefore continue monitoring the relationship between silver, the US Dollar, Treasury yields and Fed rate expectations.

Silver Technical Analysis: 50-Day and 100-Day SMAs Hold

The daily technical structure remains constructive because XAG/USD is trading above both the 50-day SMA near $63 and the 100-day SMA around $66.

The 100-day SMA is particularly important because it sits close to the current market price.

As long as silver remains above this area, the medium-term technical structure retains support.

The 50-day SMA and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at $63.09 create a second layer of support.

Below these levels, attention would shift toward the broader structural low around $55.

$68.11 Becomes the First Major Silver Resistance

The first major upside obstacle is the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at $68.11.

A sustained move through $68.11 would strengthen the recovery and place $72.17 into focus.

The $72.17 area is particularly important because it corresponds with the 50% Fibonacci retracement, while the 200-day SMA at $73.18 creates another significant technical barrier immediately above it.

A sustained break through this broader resistance cluster would significantly improve the technical structure and could expose the higher Fibonacci levels at $76.23 and $82.01.

RSI Shows Mildly Bullish Momentum

The Relative Strength Index currently stands around 55, which gives silver a mildly bullish momentum reading.

Importantly, the RSI is not yet approaching overbought territory.

This leaves room for additional upside if buyers maintain control.

However, the RSI should be viewed alongside the other indicators rather than in isolation.

The MACD remains slightly negative, suggesting that bullish momentum has not yet become decisive.

Meanwhile, the ADX reading of 12 indicates a weak trend environment.

The combination is therefore important: silver has a constructive bias, but the technical indicators do not yet confirm a powerful directional trend.

Bullish Sentiment

1. Silver Is Trading Above the 100-Day SMA

Holding above the $66 100-day SMA keeps the near-term technical structure constructive.

2. XAG/USD Has Recovered More Than 3% This Week

The weekly gain demonstrates that buyers have returned to the market following the earlier weakness.

3. RSI Remains Above Neutral

An RSI reading of 55 provides a mild bullish signal while leaving room for further upside before the market reaches overbought conditions.

4. $68.11 Is the Immediate Upside Trigger

A sustained break above the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement at $68.11 could open the way toward $72.17.

5. A Weaker US Dollar Could Support Silver

If the recent Dollar strength continues to reverse, silver could benefit as the metal becomes relatively more attractive to holders of other currencies.

Bearish Sentiment

1. Treasury Yields Remain Elevated

Higher US yields can increase the opportunity cost of holding silver and create a headwind for precious metals.

2. Fed Tightening Expectations Could Support the Dollar

If markets increase expectations for further Federal Reserve tightening, the US Dollar could regain strength and place pressure on XAG/USD.

3. ADX Shows Weak Trend Strength

An ADX reading of 12 indicates that silver remains in a relatively weak trend environment.

This means the recent advance has not yet developed into a clearly established strong trend.

4. MACD Remains Slightly Negative

The MACD is still slightly negative, suggesting that upside momentum has yet to become decisive.

5. $68.11-$73.18 Represents a Significant Resistance Zone

Silver faces several important technical barriers between $68.11 and $73.18.

Failure to clear this region could result in another period of consolidation or a return toward support.

Silver Price Forecast: What Traders Are Watching Monday

The $66 level is the first area to watch because it corresponds closely with the 100-day SMA.

If buyers successfully defend this area, attention will remain focused on $68.11.

A break above $68.11 would put $72.17 into focus, followed by the 200-day SMA at $73.18.

A sustained move above $73.18 would then expose $76.23 and potentially $82.01.

On the downside, a sustained break below the 100-day SMA would weaken the current structure and bring the 50-day SMA around $63 and $63.09 Fibonacci support into focus.

A deeper move below this broader support zone would increase the importance of the structural low around $55.

Key Silver Levels

Bullish breakout: $68.11 → $72.17 → $73.18 → $76.23

Immediate support: $66.00

Secondary support: $63.09 / around $63.00

Major structural support: around $55

Silver, the US Dollar and Global Interest Rates

Silver remains highly sensitive to the interaction between precious-metals demand, the US Dollar and global interest rates.

The current environment is particularly important because the Federal Reserve has moved toward tighter monetary policy while Treasury yields remain elevated.

At the same time, silver’s industrial characteristics mean the metal is also influenced by global economic growth and manufacturing demand.

This creates a dual market for silver: it can respond to precious-metals factors such as real yields and the Dollar while also reacting to industrial-demand expectations.

For Monday, the interaction between these forces could determine whether the current move above $66 develops into a larger recovery or remains a short-term rebound.

Today Markets View

Silver enters Monday trading with a mildly bullish near-term structure, but the latest indicators suggest that the market has not yet developed strong trend momentum.

Holding above the 100-day SMA around $66 keeps buyers engaged, while the $68.11 Fibonacci resistance represents the first major test of the current recovery.

A sustained move above $68.11 would shift attention toward $72.17 and the $73.18 200-day SMA. Beyond that resistance cluster, the higher Fibonacci levels at $76.23 and $82.01 become relevant.

However, elevated Treasury yields, Federal Reserve tightening expectations and a still-negative MACD could limit the advance.

On the downside, $66 is the first important support, followed by the $63-$63.09 region and then the broader structural area around $55.

The key question for Monday is therefore whether silver can convert its recent recovery into a sustained break above $68.11, or whether resistance and higher yields force another consolidation phase.
