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. XAG/USD is in bearish sentiment in the case of monthly MA, after falling below it. As we can see in the chart below, the 6 months (supported the market price twice a year) and annual MAs support bullish sentiment.

Approximately 90% confidence interval (return between -3% and 3% ) is shown in the histogram below by a red rectangle.

Basic technical analysis points to neutral sentiment in the last week. The XAG/USD is currently very close to the demand zone (green rectangle), where the Fibonacci retracement level of 23.60% is. A psychological level of 25.00 may also be important. In addition, the shorter-term MA has also recently been very close to the spot price. It creates a kind of resistance. The divergence between price development and RSI motivated short-term bulls. However, they are currently having problems moving higher. Their sentiment may be supported by a longer-term MA, which is also in the demand zone.
