Silver drifts lower and retreats further from a 12-year peak touched on Thursday. The setup favors bulls and warrants caution before positioning for deeper losses. Any meaningful downfall is likely to attract some dip-buying and remain limited. Silver (XAG/USD) extends the overnight modest pullback from the $32.70 area, or its highest level since December 2012 and remains under some selling pressure during the Asian session on Friday.

Any further decline could be seen as a buying opportunity around the $31.25 area and remain limited near the $31.00 mark. A convincing break below the latter could drag the XAG/USD to the $30.60-$30.55 zone en route to the $30.00 psychological mark and the $29.70-$29.65 area, or the descending trend-line resistance breakpoint, now turned support.
