As of 20 October 2025, silver price movements are supported by a softer US dollar, with the DXY hovering near 103.2 (Reuters, 1 October 2025). At the same time, US 10-year Treasury yields have eased to 4.6%, following Federal Reserve minutes that signalled a pause in further rate hikes (Trading Economics, 20 October 2025). A steady recovery in Chinese industrial demand has also lent some support, suggesting resilient consumption across key manufacturing sectors (Reuters, 20 October 2025). However, overall activity remains subdued, with COMEX volumes muted amid reduced liquidity during the holiday week (Reuters, 20 October 2025).

UBS (market update)

Silver price: Technical overview

On the daily chart, silver spot remains supported above its key moving average cluster – 20-, 50-, 100- and 200-day moving averages (DMAs) at around 49, 44, 40 and 36 respectively – with the 20-over-50 alignment still intact. Momentum remains firm, with the 14-day RSI at 69.6 and the 14-day ADX at 53.7, both suggesting a well-defined trend.

The first resistance area to monitor is near 58.7; a daily close above this level could bring the 60.0 handle into focus. On retracements, initial support lies near 44.7 (daily pivot), followed by the 100-day SMA around 40.0. A sustained move below this area could signal a deeper pullback toward 40.0 (TradingView, 20 October 2025).
