XAG’s sell pressure is holding the upper hand, yet the price is stuck in place. The contract’s active buy-sell ratio is 0.7731; sell orders are 32.6k lots versus 25.2k lots for buy orders. The active buy volume has been reduced by 15.8% even after seven hours—yet in 24 hours the price only drops 1.2%.

What’s more critical: open positions were cut down by 7.96% in a day, but the price didn’t collapse with them. The heaviest positioning is still on the long side: whale positions being long account for 70.24%, and they even lifted it by 1.4% again over seven hours. In the spot market’s 20-level order book, the buy wall is 1.64 times the sell wall, and most sell orders basically land into the counterparty’s receiving pocket. The price is pinned at 68.84, hovering above the 15-minute MA50 (68.62).

So this looks more like a depletion of downside momentum—not the start of a decline. 68.36 has been tested repeatedly without breaking. The leverage between 68.36 and the prior high at 69.76 has been thinned by the washout; when it turns back, resistance isn’t as thick as you’d imagine.

My stance: go long. Pullbacks above 68.5 are your entry window. First target 69.76; if it breaks, then look at 70.01.

There’s only one reversal condition: the price effectively breaks below 68.36, while the whale long-position ratio turns downward. Only then can the long structure be considered truly broken, and I’ll flip short.
