    XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook
     Silver’s uptrend remains intact but is capped to the upside and downside by a descending channel. Although it has formed a ‘double bottom’ chart pattern, buyers lack the momentum to clear the top of the channel, as depicted by the Relative Strength Index (RSI) almost flat at the neutral midline.To confirm the ‘double bottom’ chart pattern, XAG/USD needs to crack the next resistance level, which is $29.50. Once surpassed the next stop would be the neckline’ at $30.84, the June 21 high, followed by the May 29 peak of $32.29. A breach of the latter will expose the year-to-date (YTD) high of $32.51.Conversely, if XAG/USD falls below $29.00, the next support level would be the June 26 low of $28.57. Clearing this level could lead to a drop to the April 15 swing low of $27.59.
