Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD bulls struggle near $23.00 within falling wedge

Silver Price pares intraday losses, the first in four days, inside bullish chart formation.
Clear break of 200-DMA, bullish MACD signals favor XAG/USD buyers.
100-DMA adds strength to wedge’s top line, making $23.40 the key hurdle toward the north.

Silver Price (XAG/USD) fades upside momentum around the weekly top surrounding $23.00 amid an early Asian session on Wednesday, following the four-day uptrend. In doing so, the XAG/USD bulls appear taking a breather within a two-month-old falling wedge bullish chart formation.

In addition to the falling wedge chart pattern, the Silver Price run-up beyond the 200-DMA and bullish MACD signals also keep the buyers hopeful.

As a result, the XAG/USD’s latest retreat appears elusive unless the quote offers a daily closing below the 200-DMA level of around $22.60.

Even so, the previous monthly low of near $22.10, the $22.00 round figure and the stated wedge’s bottom line, close to $21.85 at the latest, can challenge the Silver bears.

In a case where the XAG/USD remains weak past $21.85, it defies the bullish chart pattern and becomes vulnerable to revisit the $20.00 psychological magnet.

On the flip side, a convergence of the 100-DMA and the stated wedge’s top line, near $23.40, becomes a crucial resistance to watch during the Silver Price advances.

Following that, the previous support line stretched from early March, surrounding $24.20, can act as a buffer during the metal’s run-up towards the theoretical target of the falling wedge breakout, around $27.40.

It should be noted that the $25.00 threshold and the previous monthly high near $26.15 can also prod the Silver buyers between $24.20 and $27.40.

EUR/USD stays well offered below 1.1800

The selling pressure on EUR/USD is picking up pace, with the pair slipping decisively below the key 1.1800 level and sliding to fresh two week lows as Wednesday’s session draws to a close. The move lower comes as the US Dollar finds renewed strength after the latest round of US data and the release of the FOMC Minutes. Next of note on the docket will be the US weekly Initial Jobless Claims.

GBP/USD reaches multi-day lows near 1.3500

GBP/USD reverses its initial upside momentum and is now adding to previous declines, approaching the 1.3500 region on Wednesday. Cable’s downtick comes on the back of decent gains in the Greenback and easing UK inflation figures, which seem to have reinforced the case for a BoE rate cut in March.

Gold battle to regain $5,000 continues

Gold is back on the front foot on Wednesday, shaking off part of the early week softness and challenging two-day highs near the $5,000 mark per troy ounce. The move comes ahead of the FOMC Minutes and is unfolding despite an intense rebound in the US Dollar.

Bitcoin (BTC) is nearing or has already established a bottom, which could be followed by a sustained period of slow price movement, according to K33.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.

Sui extends sideways action ahead of Grayscale’s GSUI ETF launch
