Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD drops closer to last week’s swing low, around mid-$22.00s

Silver continues losing ground for the second straight day and drops to a fresh weekly low.
The technical setup favours bearish traders and supports prospects for a further downfall.
A sustained move beyond the $23.60-70 multiple tops barrier will negate the bearish bias.

Silver (XAG/USD) remains under heavy selling pressure for the second successive day on Wednesday and hits a fresh weekly low during the early part of the European session. The white metal currently trades around the $22.60-$22.55 area, down 1.30% for the day, and seems vulnerable to extending its descending trend.

From a technical perspective, the recent repeated failures to find acceptance above the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and rejections near the $23.60-$23.70 supply zone constitute the formation of a bearish multiple tops pattern. This, along with the fact that oscillators on the daily chart have again started gaining negative traction, suggests that the path of least resistance for the XAG/USD is to the downside.

Some follow-through selling below last week's swing low, around the $22.45 region, will reaffirm the bearish bias and pave the way for deeper losses. The XAG/USD might then fall to the $22.00 mark before dropping to the $21.70 horizontal support zone and the $21.35-$21.30 region. The downward trajectory could drag the white metal further towards the $21.00 mark en route to the $20.70-$20.65 area, or a seven-month low touched in October.

On the flip side, the $22.75-$22.80 congestion zone now seems to act as an immediate hurdle ahead of the $23.00 round figure. The next relevant hurdle is pegged near the $23.25 region, or the 200-day SMA, above which the XAG/USD could make a fresh attempt to clear the $23.60-$23.70 strong barrier. A convincing breakout through will be seen as a fresh trigger for bullish traders and set the stage for additional gains.

AUD/USD stays bid above 0.7100 on Australian trade data, Mideast optimism

USD/JPY hovers near the 160.00 intervention threshold on Mideast tensions

USD/JPY struggles to find acceptance above 160.00 and retreats from a one-month high in the Asian session on Thursday amid fears that authorities will step in again to prop up the Japanese Yen. Furthermore, a new Israel-Lebanon ceasefire caps the US Dollar and supports the currency pair. However, renewed US-Iran tensions keep the downside limited in the Greenback and the pair.

Gold defends 200-day SMA; upside seems capped on Iran uncertainty

Gold recovers from a one-week low near $4,425, or the 200-day SMA, in the Asian session on Thursday, as news of an Israel-Lebanon ceasefire acts as a headwind for the safe-haven US Dollar. However, renewed hostilities in the Gulf, along with stalled US-Iran peace talks, keep geopolitical risks in play and should support the USD, checking the Gold price rebound.

Bitcoin drops below $65K amid reinforced bear market signals

Bitcoin dipped further below $65,000 on Wednesday, with onchain data from Glassnode signaling a market firmly in a bear phase.

Kevin Warsh takes the Fed helm: What it means for the US Dollar

The Federal Reserve moves away from the highly predictable "forward guidance" model of the Jerome Powell era to a new “Kevin Warsh environment”, characterized by less communication, more policy surprises, and an increased focus on the Fed's complex balance sheet.

Recession on paper: What really moves the Canadian Loonie now?

Statistics Canada handed the headline writers a gift and the analysts a headache. Real GDP shrank 0.1% on an annualized basis in the first quarter, and with the fourth quarter of 2025 revised down to a 1.0% contraction, that is two negative quarters in a row, the textbook definition of a technical recession and Canada's first since the pandemic.
