- Silver price prints mild gains as it reverses from four-month low.
- Short-term descending support line, oversold RSI adds strength to recovery.
- Doji candlestick, 100-DMA challenge XAG/USD buyers amid sluggish moves.
Silver price (XAG/USD) picks up bids to rebound from the Year-To-Date (YTD) lows while printing mild gains around $20.00, up 0.18% intraday heading into Thursday’s European session.
In doing so, the bright metal bounces off a three-week-old descending support line, around $19.80 by the press time, amid an oversold RSI (14).
The XAG/USD rebound, however, appears elusive unless the quote stays below the previous day’s top surrounding $20.22.
That said, a clear upside break of $20.22 will defy the bearish candlestick formation and can propel the Silver price toward a late February swing low surrounding $20.45.
It’s worth noting, though, that the XAG/USD run-up beyond $20.45 needs validation from the $21.00 round figure and the 100-SMA hurdle of $21.15 to convince the buyers.
Meanwhile, pullback moves may retest the aforementioned support line, near $19.80. Following that, the $19.00 and November 2022 low surrounding $18.85 may entertain the Silver traders.
In a case where the XAG/USD bears keep the reins past $18.85, the previous yearly low surrounding $17.75, marked in September 2022, will be in focus.
Overall, the Silver bears appear running out of steam but the bulls have a long way to go before retaking control.
