Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD drops towards $23.00 on breaking key supports

Silver Price remains pressured after falling the most in six weeks.
Downside break of three-month-old support line, 100-DMA favor XAG/USD sellers.
Bear cross on MACD signals further downside of the Silver Price but the below-50.0 RSI prods sellers.
Previous monthly low, 200-DMA lures XAG/USD bears during further downside.

Silver Price (XAG/USD) seesaws around the monthly low marked the previous day, sidelined near $23.15 amid early Wednesday in Asia after falling the most in 1.5 months the previous day.

That said, the bright metal dropped heavily on Tuesday after breaking the key support line stretched from March, as well as the 100-DMA. The downside break of the previously important supports also took clues from the looming bear cross on the MACD, which in turn suggests further downside of the XAG/USD.

Hence, the XAG/USD’s further fall towards the $23.00 round figure appears imminent ahead of challenging the previous monthly low of around $22.70.

It’s worth noting, however, that the RSI (14) is below 50.0 and hence suggests limited downside room.

As a result, the Silver price may refrain from breaking the previous monthly low, if not then the 200-DMA level of around $22.45 can act as an extra filter towards the south.

Above all, the XAG/USD buyers remain hopeful unless witnessing a clear downside break of an ascending support line from September 2022, close to $21.10 by the press time.

On the flip side, the 100-DMA and the three-month-old previous support line, respectively around $23.35 and $23.55, guard immediate recovery of the Silver Price.

Following that, the 50-DMA hurdle of $24.35 gains the market’s attention as it holds the key to further advances of the XAG/USD.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
