Silver technical analysis

XAG/USD  is testing the daily demand territory ahead of the break of the psychological $25.000 area.

An upside correction could be on the cards at this juncture.

Prior support that would be expected to act as resistance on a restest could be an optimal bearish entry point. 

On the daily chart, the daily support higher up at around $25.8000 has a confluence with a 50% mean reversion of the daily bearish impulse. 

However, the first 4-hour structure falls in at $25.4135.
