Silver attracts some dip-buyers and turns positive for the second straight day on Wednesday. The overnight breakout above a short-term ascending trend-channel favors bullish traders. Any corrective slide below $33.00 could be seen as a buying opportunity and remain cushioned. Silver (XAG/USD) reverses an intraday dip to the $33.00 neighborhood and climbs to over a one-week high during the first half of the European session on Wednesday. The white metal currently trades around the $33.15-$33.20 region, up 0.20% for the day, and seems poised to appreciate further. The emergence of dip-buying validates the previous day’s breakout above the top end of a short-term descending trend-channel, which constituted the formation of a bullish flag pattern. Moreover, the recent repeated bounce from the 100-day Simple Moving average (SMA) and the fact that oscillators on the daily chart have just started moving in positive territory validate the near-term positive outlook for the XAG/USD. Some follow-through buying beyond the $33.60 resistance zone will reaffirm the constructive setup and allow the XAG/USD to aim towards reclaiming the $34.00 round-figure mark.

On the flip side, the ascending channel hurdle breakpoint, around the $33.00 mark, now seems to have emerged as an immediate support. Any further corrective slide could be seen as a buying opportunity and remain limited near the $32.65 horizontal zone. Some follow-through selling, however, would expose the 100-day SMA, currently pegged just above the $32.00 mark, which, if broken, might pave the way for further losses. Meanwhile, the lower boundary of the aforementioned trend-channel, currently around the $31.40 region, should act as a strong near-term base for the XAG/USD. A convincing break below the latter, however, will negate the positive…
