Silver price holds near $72.50 with very limited change as market participants remain cautious. Trump's threat to Iran, warning that it would face "Hell" if it didn't reach a deal by the end of Tuesday, drove the cautious sentiment. The United States seeks a deal with Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz because the ongoing closure fuels inflationary pressures. Even though Iran conveyed its rejection of the U.S. proposal through Pakistan, it dismissed a temporary ceasefire and stressed the need for a permanent end to the conflict. The Iranian response included 10 main points. These covered ending conflicts across the region, ensuring safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, lifting sanctions, and starting reconstruction efforts. It also focused on creating long-term stability rather than just a temporary solution. Silver traders are now focusing on the war and interest rates. The escalating tensions between the US and Iran will keep rising oil prices due to supply disruption. This situation, in turn, adds to inflationary pressures. Therefore, central banks, particularly the Federal Reserve, would have no room to ease policy. But even they would think about higher rates if energy prices rise further. This scenario would be negative for silver prices.

Traders are watching these key US economic data releases to anticipate the next direction of silver prices in the coming days, especially amid ongoing global tensions. Markets are currently facing two opposing forces: on the economic side, interest rates and oil-driven inflation, and on the geopolitical side, rising tensions that are supporting demand for precious metals. At the same time, markets expect the Federal Reserve to delay interest rate cuts, with a chance of higher borrowing costs later this year if inflation remains high. Let's take a technical outlook on the silver price, highlighting key resistance and support levels. Silver Price Technical Outlook | Key Levels to Watch: The chart shows a clear shift from a strong bullish trend to a consolidation phase. On the left, price was moving steadily higher inside a well-defined rising channel, forming higher highs and higher lows. This trend accelerated into a peak near 121, which looks like a blow-off top. Thereafter, the structure broke sharply, with the price falling aggressively and exiting the channel. This breakdown marked a transition from bullish momentum to a more bearish or corrective environment. The key resistance zone sits between roughly 73 and 79, where price has repeatedly struggled to break higher. Above that, the 96 level remains a major supply area from the earlier rejection. On the downside, 64 acts as an important support level, as price has bounced from this area more than once. If that level fails, the next significant support is around 53. Currently, price is moving between 64 and the 73–79 resistance zone, indicating a range-bound market rather than a trending one. The RSI is currently hovering around the 50 level and moving within a 40–60 range. This reflects neutral momentum, meaning neither buyers nor sellers have a clear advantage. Overall, the market is in a pause or decision phase after a strong prior trend. Technical analysis for silver price on 6th April 2026, built on TradingView
