Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD downward pressured as US bond yields rise

Silver falls past the $23.88/80 confluence of the 50 and 20-day EMAs.
Further losses could be seen if Silver breaks below the 100-day EMA at $23.52, with the next target being the June 8 low of $23.41.
On the upside, a break above $23.90 could pave the way toward the $24.00 level.

Silver price extended its losses past the confluence of the 20 and 50-day Exponential Moving Averages(EMAs) as higher US Treasury bond yields sparked a sell-off of the white metal. XAG/USD’s sellers targeted the 100-day EMA at $23.52 but could not achieve their goal. The XAG/USD trades at $23.68.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

Silver tumbled below the $23.88/80 confluence of the 50 and 20-day EMAs, extending its losses past an upslope support trendline drawn since the beginning of June. Even though XAG/USD remains in consolidation, a drop below the 100-day EMA at $23.52 will send the white metal tumbling toward the June 8 low of $23.41 before challenging the $23.00 mark.

In that outcome, the XAG/USD’s next support would be the important 200-day EMA at $22.92, which, once cleared, would pave the way for additional losses.

For a bullish continuation, XAG/USD buyers must reclaim $23.90, so they can threaten to break $24.00. A breach of the latter will expose Silver to further buying pressure. XAG/USD can rally towards the next resistance at April 25 low-turned resistance at $24.49 before challenging $25.00.

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
