On the world market, the price of silver is listed at $75.93 per ounce, a decrease of $5.2.

The silver market is entering a period of high volatility as investor sentiment is constantly being affected by US interest rate policies and escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

According to Christopher Lewis, during the past trading week, silver prices surged sharply but quickly came under profit-taking pressure around the $90/ounce mark. The upward momentum was therefore halted quite quickly, reflecting cautious sentiment and market instability.

Not only did silver lose all of its previous gains, but its price subsequently plummeted below $80 per ounce. The continued high interest rates in the US are putting significant pressure on precious metals. According to Christopher Lewis, a sharp drop in silver prices to around $70 per ounce in the near future is entirely possible.

This expert believes that the $70/ounce mark is currently considered a crucial support level for the market within its recent trading range. If the US Federal Reserve continues to maintain a tight monetary policy, the price of silver could even break through this support level and fall further to the $64/ounce area.

Conversely, in the event of a market recovery, the $80/ounce level is considered a short-term resistance zone, while the $90/ounce mark remains the biggest hurdle that silver prices need to overcome to establish a sustainable upward trend.
