Silver price (XAG/USD) seesaws around $25.00 after posting the biggest daily gains in a week the previous day. In doing so, the bright metal braces to reject the “Double top” bearish chart formation on the hourly play.

It’s worth noting that the quote’s sustained trading above the 100 and 200 Hourly Moving Averages (HMAs) join firmer RSI (14), not overbought, to keep the Silver buyers hopeful of breaking the double tops near $25.15 and reject the bearish chart pattern.

Following that, a run-up toward April 2022 high near $26.25 can’t be ruled out. However, the RSI may turn overbought afterward and can prod the Silver buyers before they approach the previous yearly top surrounding $27.00.

Meanwhile, the 100-HMA and a two-week-old ascending trend line, respectively near $24.90 and $24.70, restrict the short-term downside of the XAG/USD price.

Should the quote breaks the $24.70, the previous Thursday’s low of $24.60 and the 200-HMA level of near $24.35 will be crucial as a break of which can direct Silver price toward the sub-$24.00 zone.

Overall, the Silver price is likely to remain firmer but the quote’s further upside hinges on a clear break of $25.15.

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.
