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.

AUD/USD sits at three-week highs above 0.7000 on hawkish RBA-speak

AUD/USD holds a positive bias for the fourth straight day, trading above 0.7000 in the Asian session on Wednesday and at three-week highs. RBA Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser's hawkish remarks and inflation concerns underpin the pair. However, the upside appears capped as the US Dollar attracts some buyers amid looming US-Iran uncertainty.

USD/JPY remains confined in a familiar range below 158.50

USD/JPY sees some dip-buying in the Asian session on Wednesday, though it remains confined within a multi-week range near 158.50 as the uncertainty over the timing of the next BoJ rate hike keeps Japanese Yen bulls on the defensive. Meanwhile, hawkish Fed expectations, bolstered by inflation risks stemming from volatile oil prices, underpin the US Dollar. However, looming intervention fears could limit JPY losses and cap the currency pair.

Gold extends losing spree as US bond yields hold ground

Gold maintains an offered tone heading into the European session, trading near the weekly low it touched earlier this Wednesday, with bears still awaiting a sustained break and acceptance below $4,100 before positioning for further losses.

Furthermore, a modest US Dollar bounce from a near three-week low is seen weighing on the bullion.

The US Dollar fell. Gold didn't rally. That tells you everything

Gold (XAU/USD) is struggling to capitalize on a weaker US Dollar (USD), after repeatedly failing to establish itself above the $4,200 level. The precious metal remains confined to a relatively narrow trading range despite a combination of developments that would normally support higher prices.
