Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD bulls step back from 100-DMA

Silver eases from key SMA, keeps late Friday’s pullback from seven-week top.
Bullish candlestick formation, MACD conditions keep buyers hopeful.
September’s high add to the upside filters, fortnight-old support line probe sellers.

Silver (XAG/USD) stays mildly bid around $24.35 during early Monday.

The bright metal refreshed multi-day high the previous day before reversing from $24.82. In doing so, the quote potrayed a bullish candlestick, namely inverted hammer on the daily chart.

The bullish MACD signals and a fortnight-long support line also favor the XAG/USD bulls. However, 100-DMA near $24.55 guards the quote’s immediate upside.

Additionally challenging the silver buyers is a horizontal area comprising highs marked since early September, near $24.85.

In a case where the metal prices rally beyond $24.85, the $25.00 threshold may challenge the bulls ahead of directing them to the August month’s high of $26.00

On the flip side, a daily closing below an ascending support lien from October 12, around $23.85, becomes necessary for silver sellers to take entries.

Following that, mid-October high near $23.60 and a nine-week-old horizontal support, close to $22.90, will be in focus.

AUD/USD sits near monthly top, above 0.7000 as renewed USD buying caps gains

AUD/USD holds a positive bias for the fourth straight day, trading above 0.7000 in the Asian session on Wednesday and near the monthly high set the previous day after RBA Deputy Governor Andrew Hauser's hawkish remarks. Meanwhile, the US Dollar attracts some buyers as energy-driven inflation fears keep bets for at least one Fed rate hike in 2026 firmly on the table. Moreover, geopolitical uncertainty is acting as a tailwind for the safe-haven buck and caps gains for the Aussie.

USD/JPY eyes 158.50 amid modest USD strength; remains confined in a familiar range

USD/JPY attracts some dip-buyers during the Asian session on Wednesday, though it remains confined within a multi-week range as the uncertainty over the timing of the next BoJ rate hike keep 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 struggles near weekly low, just above $4,100 amid USD uptick

Gold remains depressed for the fourth straight day, flirting with the weekly low during Wednesday’s Asian session, with bears awaiting a sustained break below $4,100 before placing fresh bets. Energy-driven inflation fears keep Fed hike bets firmly on the table, reviving US Dollar demand and undermining the non-yielding bullion. However, an unconfirmed report of US-Iran diplomacy could cap the safe-haven buck, which could offer some support to the precious metal.

Ethereum bounces off $2,400 for a sixth day despite ETF outflows

Ethereum (ETH) bounced again near the $2,400 level on Tuesday, the sixth straight day, as its on-chain cost basis and key moving averages have stood as key support levels. The sub-$2,400 level has proven to be a strong support for the top altcoin over the past week amid macro pressures. Buyers have repeatedly stepped in to defend prices whenever it falls below the level.

SpaceX's earnings don't matter. What they unlock does

The Elon Musk-founded SpaceX reports third-quarter results after Tuesday's session. The figure that decides the next month for the stock isn't in them. On Thursday, the second full trading day after the release, up to 1.3 billion shares held by employees and early investors become eligible for sale.

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.
