XAG/USD: silver prices are going down

OANDA:XAGUSD   Silver / U.S. Dollar
Current trend

Prices for silver fell noticeably on Monday, continuing the development of the "bearish" trend of the end of last week. In the absence of significant macroeconomic news, investors focused mainly on the previous technical factors. USD managed to maintain its upward direction against its main competitors, although it retreated from local highs against the background of unimpressive data on inflation last week.

Today, traders focus on statistics on retail sales from the US and the dynamics of GDP and industrial production in the eurozone. GDP is expected to stay on the same levels (0.4% QoQ and 2.5% YoY), and March Industrial Production can grow from –0.8% to 0.6% MoM and from 2.9% to 3.7% YoY.

Support and resistance

Bollinger Bands in D1 chart demonstrate flat dynamics. The price range consolidated in fairly wide boundaries, limiting the growth of the instrument to current local highs.

MACD is reversing downwards forming a sell signal (the histogram is located below the signal line). In addition, the indicator tests the zero mark for the breakdown.

Stochastic is going down and is located in the middle of its area.

Current indicators do not contradict the further development of the downward trend in the short or ultra-short term, so one should focus on sales.

Resistance levels: 16.44, 16.51, 16.66, 16.74.

Support levels: 16.33, 16.20, 16.09, 16.00.
