Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD battles immediate ascending channel resistance above $27.00

Silver pokes 10-week top inside a bullish chart pattern.
Upbeat MACD signals back the buyers but a pullback can’t be ruled out.
100-day SMA strengthens the monthly rising channel’s support.

Following its jump to the highest levels since late February the previous day, silver seesaws around $27.30 during the initial Asian session trading on Friday. The white metal pushed the upper line of a one-month-old rising channel while refreshing the highest levels since February 26 on Thursday.

Although bullish MACD signals join the rising channel pattern, the resistance line of the stated bullish formation may hinder the commodity’s north-run around $27.55.

Should the silver prices rally beyond $27.55, the $28.00 threshold and February 23 high near $28.35 will be on the buyer’s radar ahead of the yearly peak close to $30.00.

Meanwhile, pullback moves may revisit the $27.00 round figure before resting on the horizontal support from March 18, around $26.65.

However, any further weakness past $26.65 will be challenged by the support line of the stated channel and 100-day SMA around $26.15-10.

Overall, silver is likely to keep the upward trajectory but intermediate pullbacks can’t be ruled out.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7000; remains close to monthly top

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, trading just below the previous day's monthly low amid diverging forces. A hawkish RBA continues to support the Aussie, while the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near a three-week low. However, oil-driven inflation fears reinforce Fed hike bets, which, along with geopolitical risks, could benefit the safe-haven buck and cap the currency pair.

USD/JPY bounces off one-month low; climbs to 157.00 amid reviving USD demand

USD/JPY rebounds from the 156.00 neighborhood, or a one-month low touched during Friday’s Asian session, with bulls looking to extend momentum beyond 157.00 amid the emergence of some US Dollar buying. Meanwhile, Japan's National CPI rose to a nine-month peak and reaffirmed BoJ rate-hike bets, which could support the Japanese Yen and cap gains for the currency pair.

Gold treads water around $4,000

Gold prices maintain its offered stance in place at the end of the week, hovering around the key $4,000 threshold per troy ounce. The persistent selling bias in the precious metal comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar and an acceptable rebound in US Treasury yields across the curve, all alongside further upside traction in crude oil prices.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin holds the 50-day EMA as Ethereum and XRP face structural resistance

Bitcoin gradually ticks up on Friday, trading above $81,000. The Crypto King has recently defended structural support near $80,000, reinforcing the prevailing bullish outlook. Ethereum similarly edges higher above $2,400, while Ripple trades above $1.32 after testing support around $1.30.

The French bond panic is overdone. Here's what the market is misreading

France's 10-year government bond yield has climbed above 5%, reigniting fears of a sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone. With public debt exceeding €3.5 trillion, persistent budget deficits and a fragmented political landscape, investors are increasingly questioning the French government's ability to stabilize its finances.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
