Silver Technical Analysis | Bullish Wedge
BY Janne Muta
|January 23, 2024Silver Technical Analysis – As Fed Funds futures traders have moderated their rate cut expectations the dollar has remained strong pressuring the precious metals complex with silver trading down in recent weeks. However, silver's industrial demand is expected to rise in 2024, particularly from the solar sector. Analysts remain positive about the silver market emphasising the ongoing supply deficit.
Last year the demand decrease mainly affected the jewellery, silverware, and physical investment sectors, interpreted more as a correction than a collapse. However, supply struggles to meet the growing demand, with mining and recycling insufficient for future needs. Forecasts suggest strong demand growth, especially in the industrial and solar sectors, despite potential global economic slowdowns.

Daily Silver Technical Analysis
Silver is trading inside a bullish wedge. If the market manages to break out of the wedge the move to the 23.40 level mentioned above in the daily silver technical analysis section would look more likely. USD strength has been pressuring XAGUSD lately as the Fed rate cut expectations for March have become more moderate. USD continuing to trade higher would be a significant short-term risk factor for those considering XAGUSD longs.
