A more hawkish tone in the FOMC press conference motivated short-term bulls in precious metals, mainly due to rising inflation. The current price of XAG/USD - Silver Spot US Dollar is 22.35 (December 19, 2021). So, let’s move on to statistical and technical analyzes.

Based on a long-term analysis of historical data, the average positive and negative daily returns are approximately 1.30% and -1.36% , respectively.

Different moving averages (MAs) help us better identify trends across multiple time frames. We use 3 basic MAs to find out which sentiment dominates each horizon. The purple line represents the monthly , the green line the 6 months and the yellow line the annual moving average. According to all MAs, XAG/USD is in bearish sentiment because it is below them. In the event of a rebound, the monthly MA may be a resistance to the market price.

The basic technical analysis points to the short-term bearish development in recent weeks. Recently, however, there has been a rebound in the lower part of the demand zone (green rectangle), where is also the Fibonacci retracement level of 38.20% and the short-term moving average. In addition, the divergence between price development and the RSI could motivate bulls to take power. In the case of a further decline, additional support for the bulls could be the psychological level of 21.00 or the Fibonacci retracement level of 50.00% .
