Silver price (XAG/USD) remains depressed around $25.30 amid early Monday, after reversing the one-year high and snapping a three-day uptrend on Friday.

The bright metal’s U-turn from a fortnight-old resistance line broke an upward-sloping support line from April 03, now immediate resistance around $25.60.

Apart from that, the bearish MACD signals and the steady RSI, after reversing from overbought territory, also keep the XAG/USD sellers hopeful.

However, a convergence of the 50-SMA and an upward-sloping trend line from the mid-March, around $25.00, appears a tough nut to crack for the Silver sellers to retake control.

Also acting as short-term key support is an area comprising the 100-SMA and early April tops, surrounding $24.25-15.

Meanwhile, the XAG/USD recovery beyond the immediate resistance line, around $25.60, can challenge the aforementioned ascending trend line from early April, around $26.25 by the press time.

Following that, tops marked during April and March of the last year, respectively near $26.25 and $26.95 could gain the market’s attention.

Overall, the Silver price is likely to witness further downside but the bearish trend is still far from sight.

AUD/USD bulls regain control above 0.6950 amid USD retreat

AUD/USD regains traction and extends the previous day's bounce from the weekly low, aiming for 0.7000 in Asia on Friday. The overnight pullback in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar below an 18-month high, which in turn offers some support to the pair. Meanwhile, hawkish RBA expectations also keep the major underpinned.

USD/JPY holds gains near 158.00 after Japan's weak Household Spending data

USD/JPY clings to gains around 158.00 after data showed on Friday that Japan's Household Spending fell for the ninth straight month, undermining the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, the US Dollar remains depressed as the overnight fall in US bond yields counters a hawkish Fed and geopolitical uncertainties, could cap any downside in the pair.

Gold remains range-bound below $4,200

Gold has given up some ground after an initial bullish attempt to reach weekly highs, returning to below the $4,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The US Dollar’s strong upside momentum, combined with rising US Treasury yields across the curve, seems to keep further gains in the yellow metal under scrutiny.

Has Bitcoin really escaped the macro forces it was built to fight?

Over 17 years ago, Satoshi Nakamoto designed Bitcoin (BTC) on the back of a global financial crisis as an alternative to the global monetary system outside the control of central banks, governments and traditional intermediaries. This raises a key question: has Bitcoin really become independent of the macroeconomic forces it was built to challenge?

The Euro is not the sick man of Europe. France's bond market is

EUR/USD remains under pressure, near the 17-month low of 1.1161 reached on Monday. The pair has lost more than 7% since its yearly peak, as concerns over France's public finances increasingly weigh on the single currency. But behind the weakness of the Euro (EUR), the problem does not necessarily lie with the European economy as a whole.
