Silver Price Analysis: $27.30 confluence hurdle capped intraday uptick for XAG/USD

Silver struggled to capitalize on its intraday bounce from multi-day lows.
Mixed oscillators on hourly/daily charts warrant caution for bullish traders.

Silver staged a modest intraday bounce from multi-day lows and refreshed daily tops during the early European session, albeit lacked follow-through. The intraday move up stalled near the $27.30 confluence barrier, comprising of 200-hour SMA and the top end of a three-day-old descending trend-channel.

Meanwhile, technical indicators on the daily chart are holding comfortably in the bullish territory. That said, oscillators on intraday charts have been struggling to gain any meaningful positive traction, making it prudent to wait for a move beyond the mentioned support before placing fresh bullish bets.

A sustained strength will also mark a bullish break through the weekly trading range and set the stage for additional gains. The XAG/USD might then accelerate the momentum back towards weekly swing highs, around the $27.80 region, above which bulls are likely to make a fresh attempt to conquer the $28.00 round-figure mark.

On the flip side, immediate support is pegged near the $27.00 mark. Failure to defend the mentioned level might prompt some technical selling and turn the XAG/USD vulnerable to retest the $26.70-65 support zone, or daily swing lows, which is closely followed by the trend-channel support near the $26.50 region.

EUR/USD sticks to positive bias above 1.1800 as trade jitters undermine USD

The EUR/USD pair builds on the previous day's modest gains and attracts some buyers for the second straight day on Thursday amid a softer US Dollar. Spot prices, however, lack bullish conviction and trade around the 1.1815-1.1820 area during the Asian session, up 0.10% for the day.

GBP/USD bounces as soft CPI boosts BoE cut bets

GBP/USD rose 0.42% on Wednesday, recovering toward 1.3600 in a session shaped by softer-than-expected UK inflation data and broad US Dollar weakness. The pair had been consolidating in a tight range between about 1.3450 and 1.3520 for the past few days following the sharp pullback from the late-January high near 1.3870, and Wednesday's move pushed price action back onto the high side of key moving averages.

Gold attracts some buyers for the second straight day as trade jitters and geopolitical tensions persist ahead of the US-Iran nuclear talks, which underpin demand for safe-haven assets. Additionally, a softer US Dollar further supports the bullion, though the underlying bullish sentiment could cap gains. Bulls might also opt to wait for acceptance above the $5,200 mark before positioning for any meaningful appreciating move.
