Silver price (XAG/USD) renews its intraday high around $23.35 as it prints mild gains to reverse the previous day’s losses during early Tuesday. In doing so, the bright metal remains inside a bull flag chart pattern suggesting the quote’s further upside.

In addition to the bull flag, the looming bullish cross on the MACD and mostly steady RSI (14) also keep the XAG/USD buyers hopeful as they refresh the daily top.

However, a clear upside break of the stated flag’s upper line, near $23.40 by the press time, becomes necessary for the Silver buyers.

Following that, the monthly high near $23.70 and March’s low near $24.00 may act as intermediate halts during the theoretical target surrounding $25.10.

In a case where the XAG/USD remains firmer past $25.10, April’s high and the yearly top, around $26.00 and $26.95 in that order, will gain the market’s attention.

Alternatively, the Silver bears need to conquer the stated flag’s support line, close to $23.00 at the latest, for entries.

Even so, the 100-Hour Moving Average (HMA) and the 200-HMA, respectively near $22.95 and $22.75, could challenge the XAG/USD sellers before giving them control.

Overall, silver is likely to witness further upside but the $23.40 is the key to watch.

AUD/USD seems vulnerable near 0.6800, 10-month low amid bullish USD

AUD/USD languishes near a 10-month low during the Asian session on Friday, awaiting a break below 0.6800 before the next leg up amid a bullish US Dollar. Firming Fed rate-hike expectations, along with fading hopes for US-Iran diplomacy, help the USD hold gains at its highest level since April 2025. Moreover, the RBA’s dovish tilt undermines the Aussie and backs the case for further losses.

USD/JPY bulls turn cautious near 160.00 amid intervention risks

USD/JPY enters a bullish consolidation phase around its highest level since early September as bulls turn cautious amid intervention risk near 160.00. Meanwhile, the downside seems cushioned as the wide US-Japan interest rate gap keeps the Yen carry trade active. Furthermore, the possibility of a jumbo Fed rate hike and Middle East uncertainties hold the US Dollar near a 19-month top, supporting the currency pair.

Gold remains on the back foot below $3,900

Gold now alternates gains with losses below the $3,900 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal struggles to regain traction amid the firmer US Dollar, mixed US Treasury yields and expectations of further tightening by the Fed at its December meeting.

Bitcoin just posted five straight losing weeks, and the storm may not be over yet

Bitcoin is struggling to find support, slipping below $70,000 as multiple headwinds threaten to push the Crypto King lower. The much-anticipated “Uptober” rally failed to materialize, with persistent selling pressure and widespread liquidations instead reinforcing the “Rektober” narrative.

Week ahead – Fed Minutes, inflation data and Nvidia earnings to guide investors

Fed minutes may add to hawkish tone as bets of 50-bps hike grow. Nvidia to report earnings as bar to impress high after spy scandal. Trade and geopolitics to be focal point of Trump-Xi summit.

Gold hit its lowest level of 2026 near $3,850

Gold (XAU/USD) attempts to stabilize around $3,890 on Friday after falling to $3,852 on Thursday, its lowest level since October 2025. The precious metal has lost more than 4% this week, as investors increasingly anticipate further monetary tightening from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The latest decline reflects a sharp change in market expectations.
