Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD dips below $22 as bearish harami pattern looms

Silver price struggles beneath the $22 mark, forming a bearish 'harami' pattern on daily charts.
Potential bearish continuation looms, with sights set on the October 9 low of $21.57.
Recovery above $22.00 necessitates claiming $22.11, with subsequent hurdles noted at 20-day EMA.

Silver price (XAG/USD) loses some of its bright, retreats from around weekly highs of $22.01 and is back below the figure, exchanging hands at around $21.75, even though US Treasury bond yields continued to extend their losses.

The daily chart portrays the white metal was shy of reclaiming the June 23 swing low of $23.11, but failure to do it, exacerbated selling pressure at around the $22.00 mark. Consequently, XAG/USD dropped and is forming a two-candlestick bearish pattern, called a ‘bearish-harami’, the equivalent of an ‘inside day.’ A bearish continuation would happen, once Silver price slides below the October 9 swing low of $21.57, putting into play a test of the year-to-date (YTD) low of $19.90.

On the other hand, if XAG/USD recovers the $22.00 figure, buyers must claim a June 23 low of $22.11. A breach of the latter will expose the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $22.38 before testing the 50-day moving average (DMA) at $22.98.

GBP/USD extends the drop to 1.3360

GBP/USD builds on Monday’s decline and briefly clinches five-day lows near 1.3360 on Tuesday. Cable’s extra pullback follows the better tone in the Greenback as uncertainty in the Middle East prompts investors to adopt a cautious stance. Meanwhile, an apathetic UK labour market report also collaborates with the selling pressure on the British Pound.

EUR/USD stays offered just above 1.1400

EUR/USD keeps the downtrend well in place for yet another day, challenging the 1.1400 contention zone on Tuesday. The continuation of the selling impulse in spot comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar, which continues to find support in the persistent effervescence surrounding the US-Iran crisis.

Middle East crisis intensifies, Gold up

Gold now seems to have embarked on a consolidative phase below the key $4,100 mark per troy ounce in the latter part of Tuesday’s session. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict and rising expectations for a hawkish Fed policy outlook are expected to limit the precious metal’s bullish momentum in the near term.

XRP extends recovery as on-chain activity grows

Ripple (XRP) ticks up and trades around $1.13 at the time of writing on Tuesday. This rebound aligns with a broader recovery in the cryptocurrency market, attributed to reports that mediators between the United States (US) and Iran are seeking a 10-day cessation of strikes to find a way back to the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The Iranian war has again risen

The Iranian war has again risen to the top of the economics factor list. There is no end in sight. Intelligence experts say the current level of offense/retaliation will not change minds in Tehran, while in Washington, Trump fears all-out war, which would mean boots on the ground.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
