Silver Price Analysis: Failures to cross 10-DMA favor XAG/USD downside below $25.00

  • Silver price stays defensive after reversing from three-week high.
  • Repeated pullbacks from 10-DMA, bearish MACD signals keep XAG/USD sellers hopeful.
  • Three-week-long bearish channel restricts immediate Silver price moves ahead of previous resistance line from January.

Silver (XAG/USD) price seesaws around $25.00 as markets portray traders’ anxiety ahead of the key data/events on early Tuesday, after reversing from a three-week top the previous day.

In doing so, the XAG/USD remains within a three-week-old bearish trend channel while staying below the 10-DMA hurdle since April 19.

On only the failure to cross the 10-DMA and a bearish channel but the downbeat MACD signals also keep the Silver price on the seller’s radar.

However, the stated downward-sloping channel’s bottom line, close to $24.50, puts a floor under the Silver price ahead of the resistance-turned-support line stretched from early January, near $24.00 by the press time.

It’s worth noting that the XAG/USD weakness past $24.00 won’t hesitate to direct the commodity price toward January’s low near $22.75.

Meanwhile, an upside clearance of the 10-DMA level of $25.10 can favor the Silver buyers to prod the top line of the aforementioned bearish channel, around $25.90 at the latest.

Following that, the Year-To-Date (YTD) high of around $26.10 and the April 2022 peak near $26.25 will be in the spotlight.

Overall, the Silver price is likely to remain depressed inside a bearish chart formation.

GBP/USD adds to the weekly correction and recedes toward the 1.3530 zone on Friday. Indeed, Cable faces increasing selling pressure on the back of extra gains in the Greenback, particularly fuelled by Chair Warsh’s speech at the Jackson Hole Symposium and the US NFP Annual Revision (-79K).

EUR/USD breaches below 1.1600, multi-day lows

EUR/USD now accelerates its decline and retreats to seven-day troughs in the sub-1.1600 region at the end of the week.

Gold’s decline gathers fresh steam, hitting weekly lows while disputing its critical 200-day SMA near $4,530 per troy ounce. The yellow metal’s increasing weakness comes in response to the generalised upbeat tone in the US Dollar and the widespread rebound in US Treasury yields, as investors continue to reprice a Fed rate hike in September.

Diesel’s record $100 warning: The oil shock hiding in plain sight

The Oil market may look calmer than it did a few months ago, but diesel is sending a very different message. The US diesel crack spread, the premium of ultra-low sulphur diesel futures over WTI, recently surged above $100 per barrel for the first time, reaching an intraday record of just over $102.00.
