Silver price collapsed on Tuesday amid a strong US Dollar, sponsored by hawkish comments by Fed Governor Michelle Bowman. Although US Treasury yields were unchanged, the Greenback registered moderate gains, which weighed on the grey metal. The XAG/USD trades at $28.90, below its 50-day moving average (DMA) for the first time since March 1.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The grey metal formed a ‘bearish engulfing’ chart pattern last week, which opened the door for further downside. Momentum favors sellers, as shown by the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which stands bearish. This suggests that Silver could extend its losses.

Hence, the XAG/USD's first support would be the May 18, 2021, high turned support at $28.74, ahead of challenging June 10, 2021, high at $28.28. Key support levels lie underneath, like the $28.00 figure, followed by the 100-DMA at $26.82.

Conversely, if XAG/USD resumes its uptrend, the next resistance level would be the 50-day moving average (DMA) at $29.16. Once surpassed, the next stop is the June 7 high of $31.54. Clearing this level would target $32.00 before challenging the year-to-date (YTD) high of $32.51.

EUR/USD trims gains, back below 1.1800

EUR/USD now loses some upside momentum, returning to the area below the 1.1800 support as the Greenback manages to regain some composure following the SCOTUS-led pullback earlier in the session.

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
