Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD eases from key EMA confluence below $22.00

• Silver price takes offers to refresh intraday low, extends late Wednesday’s pullback from five-week high.
• Multiple key Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) challenge XAG/USD bulls even as MACD signals favor upside.
• 6.5-month-old ascending trend line appears the key support to watch.

Silver price (XAG/USD) renews intraday low near $21.70 as it consolidates the previous day’s gains, extending pullback from a five-week high, during early Thursday. In doing so, the bright metal portrays the fourth consecutive failure on a day to cross the convergence of the key Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs).

That said, the 50-EMA joins 100-EMA and 200-EMA to highlight $21.80-90 region as a tough nut to crack for the Silver buyers.

Even so, bullish MACD signals join an upward-sloping trend line from the early September 2022 to restrict immediate downside of the XAG/USD around $20.00.

Ahead of that, the previous weekly top around $21.30 and the $21.00 could lure the Silver bears.

In a case where the Silver price remains bearish past $20.00, the odds of witnessing a slump towards November 2022 low near $18.80 can’t be ruled out.

On the flip side, a daily closing beyond the $21.90 appears necessary for the XAG/USD bulls to retake control.

Even so, the $22.00 threshold and January’s low near $22.75 could challenge the Silver buyers before giving them control.

Overall, Silver price remains far from the buyer’s radar unless crossing $21.90. However, the downside room also appears limited.
