Silver price reclaims the 50 and 20-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs) on Tuesday amidst broad US Dollar weakness, as risk-perceived assets advance while US bonds rally. Consequently, US Treasury yields fall, a tailwind for the white metal. At the time of writing, XAG/USD is trading at $19.37, above its opening price by 0.77%.

XAG/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

The XAG/USD daily chart portrays silver as neutral-to-downward biased, even though it reclaimed the 20 and 50-day EMAs. For XAG/USD buyers to further cement the case of turning the bias to neutral, they need to reclaim the 100-day EMA at $19.61, which could send XAG/USD rallying to $20.00 a troy ounce, before testing the 200-day EMA at $21.65. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at bullish territory, with a minimal-bullish slope, suggests prices could aim higher, opening the door for a test of the 100-day EMA.

In the near term, XAG/USD is neutral-to-upward biased, as depicted by the hourly chart, with prices oscillating around the daily pivot level at $19.30. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), around 58.64, is in bullish territory, though directionless. Therefore, XAG/USD might consolidate amid the lack of a catalyst.

Upwards, the first resistance would be the R1 daily pivot at $19.58, followed by the October 24 high at $19.67, ahead of the R2 pivot level at $19.95. On the flip side, the XAG/USD first support would be the confluence of the 50 and 20-EMAs at $19.23 and $19.18, respectively, followed by the S1 daily pivot point at $18.94. Break below will expose the 100 and 200-EMAs, each at $18.90 and $18.78, ahead of the S2 pivot level at $18.65.

AUD/USD stays defensive below 0.7150 after Chinese data

AUD/USD remains on the back foot below 0.7150 in the Asian session on Tuesday, close to an over three-week low touched the previous day.

USD/JPY keeps pushing higher toward 155.00 early Tuesday, looking for more upside, as traders await the FOMC and BoJ meetings this week. Meanwhile, Fed rate-hike bets and oil-driven inflation risks keep US bond yields near multi-year highs, supporting the US Dollar and the pair. That said, a more hawkish repricing of the BoJ normalization path might continue to underpin the Japanese Yen and could limit USD/JPY's upside. .
