Group 1 - The global silver market has been in a structural deficit for five consecutive years, leading to a rapid depletion of physical inventories [2] - There is strong investment demand for silver ETFs, with a significant amount of silver being withdrawn and locked away, indicating a real-time supply squeeze rather than just a rise driven by safe-haven sentiment [2] - New investors appear to be driving the current silver market, while long-term holders are taking profits, resulting in noticeable selling pressure being absorbed by new buyers entering the market due to headlines and price fluctuations [2] Group 2 - The supply tightness is particularly evident outside the United States, with significant supply-demand imbalances and liquidity tightening in markets like London and Asia, reflected in the premium levels [2] - At the beginning of the year, concerns over tariffs led to a large influx of silver into New York, creating a premium in New York and a discount in London, with New York Mercantile Exchange inventories reaching approximately 530 million ounces [2] - As tariff concerns eased and demand surged from Asia, particularly India and China, the market dynamics reversed, exacerbated by ETF fund outflows from London [2] Group 3 - The current upward trend in silver prices is supported by a rising channel that began at $86.67, with the upper limit of $97.22 being breached [3] - If silver can maintain levels above $97.22, it will sustain a bullish technical outlook, with the MACD indicator showing increasing upward momentum [3] - However, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 76.98, indicating an overbought condition that may limit short-term upside potential, with potential pullbacks finding support at the 200-period simple moving average at $91.47 [3]

Core Viewpoint - The global risk appetite has increased following a softening of President Trump's stance on European tariffs and Greenland, leading to a pullback in gold prices from near the historical high of $4900. Meanwhile, expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut have diminished, providing support for the dollar and creating short-term pressure on gold prices. However, market caution prevails ahead of key U.S. economic data, limiting the downside potential for gold, with a medium-term bullish structure remaining intact [1][4]. Technical Analysis - The short-term pullback in gold is considered a normal correction following a strong upward trend. The 100-hour moving average is rising and currently positioned below the price at approximately $4720, serving as significant dynamic support. As long as gold prices remain above this moving average, the overall short-term trend is still bullish [1][4]. - In terms of wave structure, the recovery from a low of $4530 to a high of $4889 has established a 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level around $4800, which acts as the first support. The 38.2% retracement level is near $4750; if this level is breached, it could increase the extent of the adjustment [1][4]. - Indicators show that the MACD remains below the zero line, but the green bars are converging, indicating a weakening of bearish momentum. The RSI has retreated to around 46, which is in a neutral zone, allowing for potential directional choices in the future. Overall, as long as the 38.2% retracement level is not effectively broken, gold prices are in a high-level consolidation rather than a trend reversal [1][4]. Trading Strategy - Day trading support levels are identified at 4815, 4785, and 4742, while resistance levels are at 4864, 4873, 4880, and 4900. A cautious approach is recommended, with a strategy to take profits when favorable [2][5]. - For intraday trading, resistance levels are set at 4860, 4870, and 4900, with support levels at 4815, 4785, and 4742. Traders are advised to consider light positions upon reaching these support and resistance points, with a suggested error margin of ±2 for initial targets of around 15 points, and a potential breakout target of 30 points [6].
