TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
The basic technical analysis points to the sideways development in recent months. 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. Both could currently act as market price support. In addition, the XAG/USD is again trying to move up from the zone. However, the long-term moving average and psychological level at 25.00 could be strong short-term resistance for the bulls.
