SLV Fund Facts

CleaRank Financial AI analysis of SLV
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
SLV sits in a downtrend, with both moving averages above the price. The price of $49.16 is 13.12% below its 50-day average of $56.58 and 24.05% below the 200-day average of $64.73. Sitting at 10% of its 52-week range, the price is 16.41% above the 52-week low of $42.23.
A recent pullback sits inside a stronger longer record: the price fell 15.45% over the past month, fell 4.91% over the past three months and rose 15.94% over the past year. On momentum, the 14-day RSI reads 33.8, in the bearish zone, above the oversold line, with the MACD line negative. The price rose 1.03% in the last session on volume 38.1% below its average.
- Two levels deserve attention: the 20-day EMA at $52.28 sits above the price, while the 52-week low at $42.23 sits below it.
- Momentum readings are bearish, with the 14-day RSI at 33.8 and the MACD line negative. Values above 70 or below 30 signal stretched momentum.
- Fees add up over time. SLV charges 0.50% a year, which comes to $50.00 on every $10,000 invested.
As long as SLV trades below both its 50-day average of $56.58 and its 200-day average of $64.73, the downtrend is intact. A close back above the 50-day average would be the first sign of a repair. Overhead, the 20-day EMA at $52.28 is the first hurdle a rise would meet.
The next level below the price is the 52-week low at $42.23. The RSI is in the bearish zone, a reading that argues against a quick rebound.
