Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD bulls retain control, multi-month top remains in sight

Silver scales higher for the third successive day and inches back closer to the multi-month top.
The technical setup favours bullish traders and supports prospects for a further positive move.
A sustained break below the $22.00 mark is needed to negate the near-term bullish outlook.

Silver gains traction for the third successive day on Friday and sticks to its positive bias through the early North American session. The white metal is currently placed above the $23.00 mark and remains well within the striking distance of its highest level since late April touched on Monday.

From a technical perspective, this week's goodish rebound from the $22.00 round figure adds credence to the recent bullish breakout through the very important 200-day SMA. Furthermore, positive oscillators on the daily chart support prospects for a further near-term appreciating move for the XAG/USD.

That said, bulls might wait for a move beyond the multi-month top, near the mid-$23.00s, before placing fresh bets. The XAG/USD might then accelerate the upward trajectory and aim to reclaim the $24.00 round figure. The momentum could get extended towards the next relevant hurdle near the $24.50 area.

On the flip side, the daily swing low, just below the $23.00 mark, now seems to protect the immediate downside. This is followed by the 200-hour SMA, around the $22.40-$22.35 region. Any subsequent fall might continue to find decent support and attract fresh buyers near the $22.00 round-figure mark.

The latter should act as a pivotal point, which if broken decisively might negate the positive outlook and shift the bias in favour of bearish traders. The XAG/USD would then turn vulnerable to challenge the technical significant 200-day SMA support, currently pegged around the $21.25 area.

GBP/USD clings to 1.3500 amid marginal losses

GBP/USD alternates gains with losses around the 1.3500 neighbourhood on Tuesday. Indeed, Cable struggles to further extend its incipient recovery in a context of continuous instability in the Middle East and modest gains in the Greenback.

EUR/USD alternates gains with losses near 1.1540

EUR/USD navigates a tight range near 1.1550 in the latter part of Tuesday’s NA session. The US Dollar’s vacillating price action accompanies the pair while market participants gear up for the crucial US inflation data due on Wednesday.

Gold trades above $4,350; looks to US CPI for fresh impetus

Gold ticks higher during the Asian session on Wednesday, stalling the previous day's retracement slide from a two-month high. The lack of any meaningful US Dollar buying ahead of the crucial US CPI report acts as a tailwind for the bullion. Meanwhile, oil-driven inflation fears keep bets for at least one Fed rate hike in 2026 firmly on the table and might keep a lid on any meaningful upside for the non-yielding yellow metal.

Can EIP-8363 save Ethereum's ultrasound money thesis, or is the damage already done?

Over the past two years, Ethereum has faced one of its biggest challenges — its circulating supply has been in an uptrend, a direct stab at its ultrasound money thesis.

911 million shares freed: Why SpaceX rallied into its own supply

The most heavily trailed supply event of the year landed on August 6, and the SpaceX (SPCX) stock went up. Roughly 911.5 million shares held by insiders and early backers became eligible to trade, around 43% more than the entire float sold at the listing, and the freely tradable portion of the company jumped from under 5% of shares outstanding to nearly 12% in a single session.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
