Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD climbs more than 0.50%, eyes $30.00

  • Silver trades and gains 0.60% after touching a daily low of $29.35.
  • Momentum is neutral, with RSI around the 50-neutral line, suggesting buyers and sellers are balanced.
  • Key resistance at $30.25 and $31.54, with support levels at $29.05 and $28.66.

Silver climbed during the North American session, gaining more than 0.60% amid thin trading liquidity conditions. Wall Street remained closed in observance of the Juneteenth holiday. The XAG/USD trades at $29.71 after hitting a daily low of $29.35.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical analysis

The grey metal remains neutral to upward bias, despite diving from year-to-date (YTD) highs reached at $32.51, below the $30.00 figure. Silver seems to have bottomed after hitting a monthly low of $28.66; since then, XAG/USD edged higher, and it’s shy of challenging the $30.00 mark.

Momentum shows that neither buyers nor sellers are in charge, as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers around the 50-neutral line.

The most likely scenario would be a bullish continuation if XAG/USD buyers reclaim $30.00, which could reignite Silver’s rally and pave the way for further upside. The next resistance level would be the June 12 high at $30.25, followed by the month-to-date (MTD) high of $31.54, the June 7 peak. A breach of the latter will expose the YTD high of $32.51.

On the other hand, if XAG/USD sellers drag spot prices below the 50-day moving average (DMA) at $29.05, it will expose $29.00. Once cleared, that could expose the MTD low of $28.66, ahead of plunging toward the 100-DMA at $26.60.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
