The American is witnessing strong support around 102 points, which is the lowest level in seven months.
Silver’s peak is coming in the near term as many analysts expect prices to continue to rise. Commodity analysts at Commerzbank said they see the silver market rallying above $25 an ounce by the end of the year as higher prices are supported by industrial demand.

“The continued poor performance of silver relative to gold increases the risk of a general downturn in the metal,” he said in a comment on Twitter.
Analysts at European precious metals firm Omicor also highlighted silver’s disappointing performance compared to gold and copper.
Analysts said, “Having outperformed gold in November and December, silver now appears to be leading the race, hovering around $24/oz. The lack of momentum in silver also contrasts sharply with other industrial metals such as copper, which recently reached $7. Continuous months of rising.
