Silver prices retreated on Tuesday and fell 1.65% as the Greenback remained in the driver’s seat and posted gains of 0.15%, ahead of crucial data to be revealed on Wednesday. US inflation figures and the FOMC’s monetary policy decision would dictate the US Dollar's faith. The XAG/USD trades at $29.27 and gains some 0.12% as Wednesday’s Asian session begins.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

Silver's double-top chart pattern remains in play, hinting that spot prices of the grey metal will decline further. XAG/USD fell below the May 24 low of $30.05, confirming the double-top pattern.

The initial support for XAG/USD remains at $29.00, followed by the June 7 low of $29.12. Breaking below this level could lead to a drop under $29.00, then to the May 18, 2021, high turned support of $28.74, and subsequently to the June 10, 2021, high of $28.34. The final target is the double top objective at $27.80.

On the other hand, if XAG/USD moves upwards and closes above $29.00, it could challenge the May 24 low, which has turned into resistance at $30.05. Buyers are currently struggling to reclaim $30.00, which suggests potential for further downside.

GBP/USD clings to small gains near 1.3450 after UK jobs data

GBP/USD trades in positive territory at around 1.3450 in the European session on Tuesday. The UK ILO Unemployment Rate remained at 4.9% in the three months to May, compared with expectations of 5%, but failed to provide any impetus to the British Pound's renewed uptick. Traders stay cautious amid US-Iran uncertainty and the UK political transition.

EUR/USD keeps range above 1.1400 after German ZEW

EUR/USD is keeping its range above 1.1400 in Tuesday's European session, as the US Dollar (USD) retreats following Monday's rebound. Nevertheless, the uncertainty around the US-Iran conflict limits the pair's upside. Meanwhile, the Euro (EUR) pays little heed to the strong German sentiment data, as traders await Thursday's European Central Bank policy announcements, which could drive the Euro's near-term valuation.

Gold extends recovery toward $4,100

Gold gains traction following Monday's choppy action and advances toward $4,100 on Tuesday. However, the uncertainty surrounding the conflict in the Middle East and growing expectations for a hawkish Federal Reserve policy outlook could make it difficult for the precious metal to gather bullish momentum in the near term.

Bitcoin extends advance as ETF inflows, Iran war mediators' proposal lift risk mood

Bitcoin extends its gains, trading above $65,800 after closing above the key technical hurdle the previous day. The bullish price action is further supported by the return of institutional demand, with spot Exchange Traded Funds continuing their inflows on Monday. In addition, the renewed hopes for peace between the US and Iran have lifted risk sentiment, providing an additional tailwind for the Crypto King.
