Silver Price Falls Below $50
According to the XAG/USD chart, silver has fallen below the $50 mark after setting a historic high on 17 October, when the price briefly climbed above $54.40 for the first time.
Since then, the market has turned lower:
→ Silver formed a bearish ABCD pattern and broke below the key $50 psychological level.
→ A similar move occurred in gold, which dropped this week from around $4,375 to nearly $4,000 per ounce.
As many media outlets have noted:
→ The decline in precious metals appears to be a correction within a broader uptrend;
→ The fundamental outlook remains strong.
However, the aggressive nature of the sell-off raises concern.
→ On one hand, the drop may have been driven by an overheated rally and heavily leveraged long positions.
→ On the other, the speed of the decline suggests the autumn metals rally could be nearing exhaustion.
