XAG is now around 65.76, just one step away from the 24-hour high of 66.17. The 4-hour and the daily charts are both pointing upward—this structure really has turned more bullish.
This pull is the real deal. Silver rebounded from yesterday’s low at 62.7 and pushed back above 66. A single strong bullish candle closed at the high of the daily chart. The 15-minute double moving averages are now underneath—today’s gain is nearly 3%. Spot trading volume is over $1 billion; this wasn’t just a dry, straight push.
But I won’t chase at this level.
The issue is the rhythm. After the price is pushed to the high, the contract open interest is actually decreasing—over the past 7 hours it dropped by about 10%. Active trading has also cooled down, and volume shrank by more than 30%. On the spot side, I don’t see any clear large-order net inflow. The funding rate isn’t high, but it is positive. Long positions are still somewhat net long; however, if there’s no new buying coming in to take over afterwards, fluctuations at these highs will only get bigger.
So my view is: yes, the direction is biased to the upside, but after just being pushed up for a stretch and now sitting right under the daily high, chasing longs here has mediocre risk-reward.
Focus on two things: first, whether a pullback to around the double moving averages can hold and whether there are buyers to catch it; second, whether volume can expand enough to break through 66.17. Only after one of these confirmations appears should you act—chasing now isn’t as comfortable. If it just keeps consolidating here with shrinking volume, then wait a bit longer.
