Silver price could aim for the upper boundary of the ascending channel near $33.50.The 14-day RSI holding at the 50 mark reinforces the ongoing bullish bias. Immediate support is seen at the 50-day EMA around $32.21.
Silver (XAG/USD) remains a critical commodity in global markets, influenced by both macroeconomic factors and technical patterns. As of April 15, 2025, silver prices are trading at approximately $32.30 per troy ounce, maintaining strength for the fifth consecutive session. This report provides an in-depth analysis of silver’s price trends, focusing on its ascending channel pattern and key technical indicators.
Silver is currently trading around $32.30, supported by its position above both the nine-day and 50-day EMAs. This indicates robust short-term momentum in favor of a bullish trend.
- Immediate Support: The 50-day EMA at $32.21 serves as a crucial support level. A breach below this point could weaken short-term momentum15.
- Secondary Support: The nine-day EMA near $31.90 offers additional support2.
- Major Support: A significant downside risk lies at $31.50, followed by the seven-month low at $28.00 recorded on April 7
- Immediate Resistance: The upper boundary of the ascending channel near $33.50 represents the next upside target.
- Extended Resistance: A break above $33.50 could pave the way for testing the six-month high of $34.59 last seen on March 28, with further potential to reach $35—a psychological level last observed in 2012
The 14-day RSI is holding steady at the 50 mark, reinforcing bullish bias without entering overbought territory. This suggests that silver’s upward trajectory remains sustainable in the near term.
If XAG/USD decisively breaks above $33.50, it could target $34.59 and potentially extend gains toward $35—a level not seen since 2012. Such a rally would likely attract momentum traders and reinforce bullish sentiment. Failure to hold above immediate support at $32.21 may result in a pullback toward $31.90 or even deeper declines to $31.50 or $28.00, depending on broader market conditions

Gemfields revenue down 32% in 2025 revenue
Revenue plunges as ruby and emerald demand weakens amid operational disruptions
Colored precious stones miner Gemfields reported a 32% drop in 2025 revenue to $135.1 million as operational disruptions and weak demand for rubies and emeralds weighed on performance.
The company said EBITDA fell 85% to $6.2 million from $43.2 million, reflecting reduced production, fewer auctions and softer market conditions. Seven auctions generated $129 million during the year, as limited gemstone availability and uneven demand offset resilient pricing at the high end.
Operations at its Montepuez ruby mine in Mozambique were hit by persistently low recovery of premium rubies and rising illegal mining activity. Two police officers were killed in October when illegal miners stormed the site. The company also flagged delays to its new $70 million processing plant, with commissioning now expected to run well into the first half of 2026, constraining near-term output despite production beginning in September 2025.
On the plus side, Gemfields said it had cut group operating costs by 17%. It also sold the iconic Faberge brand for $50 million to reduce mounting debts and raise working capital for expansion projects.
At the Kagem emerald mine in Zambia, Gemfields suspended mining from January to May in response to weak auction results, softer global demand, particularly in China, and oversupply from a competing Zambian producer.
