Silver (XAG/UD) started the new week on a subdued note and consolidated last week's retracement slide from or above one-month highs. The white metal remained close to a two-week low touched on Friday and traded around the $30.55 area, or the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), during the Asian session.
From a technical perspective, acceptance below the 100-day SMA will be seen as a fresh trigger for bearish traders against the backdrop of last week's failure near the $32.35 horizontal resistance. Given that oscillators on the daily chart have just started gaining negative traction, XAG/USD might then become vulnerable to weaken further below the $30.00 psychological mark and test November lows, around the $29.70-$29.65 area. Some follow-through selling should pave the way for an extension of the downward trajectory towards the $29.10-$29.00 support zone en-route the $28.40-$28.35 region before XAG/USD eventually drops to the $28.00 round figure.
On the flip side, any meaningful recovery attempts now seem to face stiff resistance and remain capped near the $31.00 mark. However, a sustained strength above the last might trigger a short-covering rally and lift XAG/USD towards the $31.75 horizontal barrier. The momentum could extend further towards the $32.00 round figure en-route monthly swing highs, around the $32.35 horizontal zone touched last week.
