Silver (XAG/USD) price drops nearly 2.80% on Wednesday as it breaks the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $75.77, which opened the door to clear the $75.00 mark. At the time of writing, XAG/USD trades at $74.74, after reaching a daily low of $73.44.

XAG/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The white metal is poised to consolidate further below an ascending channel's upslope support trendline and beneath the 50-day SMA. In addition to this, breaching the $75.00 psychological level cleared the way for a move lower.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) turned bearish in mid-May, pointing downwards, suggesting sellers are gaining momentum.

Should Silver slip below the May 19 low of $73.09, the next stop would be the April 29 low of $70.86. Below this level lies the 200-day SMA at $65.59, ahead of the yearly low of $61.02.

Above, the first resistance for XAG/USD is $75.00, followed by the 50-day SMA at $76.00. If hurdled, the next stop would be the 20-day SMA at $77.61.
