XAG is now around 65.5. This level has me a bit conflicted, so here’s the conclusion first: I’ll just observe for now.
For short-term momentum, things aren’t bad. On the 4-hour chart the trend is still upward. In terms of aggressive trading, the buy side has the advantage. Buy orders once accounted for about 65%, and over roughly the last 7 hours, the aggressive buy volume has also increased quite a bit. The order book is still relatively thick—buy-side depth is pressing down more than the sell side.
But the problem is the fuel. Open interest has dropped by nearly 20% over the day, and the funding rate is basically flat around 0—nobody is willing to pay a premium to hold long. In the spot market, it’s even more direct: big orders net flowed in, but it’s still “whiteboard,” with no real money—no actual inflow of physical gold/silver. In the short term, the buying is more like existing inventory being rotated, not fresh capital entering the market.
Now look at the whales: the long positions’ share in their accounts is rising, but their overall position ratio is actually being cut—basically, it’s reducing positions and turning over, not adding exposure.
So I won’t chase at this level. If the price can hold up, that’s a good sign. But to truly strengthen, we need to see open interest stop falling, or spot market big orders bring in real money. Right now it’s more like a “burning on dry wood” sentiment—I'll wait for the capital to choose a direction on its own and keep watching.
