Silver Price Analysis: Rising wedge near multi-day high teases XAG/USD bears, $22.70 eyed

• Silver prices retreats from seven-week high, portrays a bearish chart formation.
• Overbought RSI, sluggish MACD signals add strength to downside bias.
• Key SMAs can test the XAG/USD sellers; bulls need validation from $23.60.

Silver price (XAG/USD) drops to $23.00 as it snaps two-day winning streak while reversing from the highest levels since early February on Friday. In doing so, the bright metal prints a one-week-old rising wedge bearish chart formation and lures the sellers due to the pattern’s positioning at the multi-day top.

Adding strength to the downside bias could be the sluggish MACD signals and the overbought conditions of the RSI (14) line.

As a result, the XAG/USD is likely to decline further toward the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the metal’s fall during February-March period, around $22.80.

However, the quote’s further declines hinge on its ability to break the stated wedge’s lower line, around $22.60 at the latest.

Following that, the 50-SMA and 200-SMA can entertain the XAG/USD sellers around $22.30 and $21.55 during the theoretical south-run towards the early March swing high surrounding $21.30.

Alternatively, recovery moves need to cross the $23.20 hurdle to defy the bearish chart formation.
