CleaRank AI analysis of SLV
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Both moving averages sit above the price, the shape of a downtrend for iShares Silver Trust (SLV): the price of $51.51 is 10.82% below the 50-day average ($57.76) and 21.24% below the 200-day average ($65.40). At 14% of its 52-week range, the price is 23.53% above the 52-week low of $41.70.
A recent pullback sits inside a stronger longer record: the price fell 9.71% over the past month, rose 1.44% over the past three months and rose 4.76% over the past year. On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 37.2, in the bearish zone, above the oversold line, with the MACD line negative.
- The two closest levels matter most: the 20-day EMA, at $54.59, sits above the price, while the 52-week low, at $41.70, sits below it.
- A 14-day RSI of 37.2 falls in the bearish zone, and the MACD line is negative. Readings above 70 or below 30 point to stretched momentum.
- Fees add up over time. SLV's expense ratio of 0.50% a year works out to $50.00 on every $10,000 held.
As long as SLV stays under both its 50-day average of $57.76 and its 200-day average of $65.40, the downtrend holds. A close back above the 50-day average would mark the first sign of repair. Overhead, the 20-day EMA at $54.59 is the first hurdle.
The 52-week low of $41.70 is the next level below the price. With the RSI in the bearish band, momentum does not favour a quick rebound.
