  • Silver drops in late trading, impacted by a strong US Dollar and falling Treasury yields.
  • Remains technically bullish, trading within key Fibonacci levels from $24.33 to $29.78.
  • Resistance at $27.70, support at $27.05; market trends could push price to $28.00 or below $27.00.

Silver price slid late in the North American session due to overall US Dollar strength across the board amid falling US Treasury yields. Despite that, the XAG/USD trades at $27.23, down 0.71%.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The grey metal remains upward-biased despite retreating toward the $27.20 area on Tuesday. It should be said that XAG/USD is still trading within the 50% and 38.2% Fibonacci retracements, drawn from the latest cycle low and high, each at $24.33 and $29.78, respectively.

If Silver buyers would like to regain control, they must clear the 38.2% Fibo retracement at $27.70. Once surpassed, emerge key resistance levels, like the $28.00 psychological figure, followed by the 23.6% Fibo retracement at $28.49 ahead of $29.00.

On the flip side, if sellers want to push prices lower, they must drag prices below the 50% Fibo retracement at $27.05. Once done, sellers must clear $27.00, followed by the confluence of the May 2 low and the 50-day moving average (DMA) at $26.02/08.
