Spot silver weighs on support
The spot silver price dropped in line with the gold prices on de-escalation in the Middle East with the mid-November low at $29.68 offering support. If fallen through, the early August high at $29.22 would be in focus with the 200-day SMA at $29.08.
Minor resistance can be found at the 21 November $30.65 low and along the October to November downtrend line at $30.88. While the next higher 19 November high at $31.54 and the 55-day SMA at $31.66 aren’t bettered, downside pressure should retain the upper hand.
