Silver price (XAG/USD) holds lower ground near $23.60 amid early Wednesday’s sluggish markets. In doing so, the bright metal drops for the third consecutive day despite positive mild losses.

That said, the quote’s sustained trading below the 200-Hour Moving Average (HMA) keeps the sellers hopeful. Even so, the bullish MACD signals and mostly steady RSI (14) hint at limited downside room.

As a result, an upward-sloping support line from the last Thursday, around $23.50 by the press time, appears to put a floor under the XAG/USD.

In a case where the Silver sellers manage to conquer the $23.50 support, the monthly low of $23.11 and the $23.00 round figure will gain major attention.

However, the $22.50 appears a tough nut to crack for XAG/USD bears afterward as it comprises the June 2022 peak and late December’s trough.

Meanwhile, an upside clearance of the 200-HMA, close to $23.80 at the latest, isn’t enough for the Silver buyer’s conviction as a downward-sloping resistance line from January 03, close to $23.90, should test the quote’s further advances.

Also acting as an upside hurdle is the $24.00 round figure, a break of which could quickly propel prices towards challenging the monthly high, currently around $24.55.

AUD/USD seems vulnerable near 0.6800, 10-month low amid bullish USD

AUD/USD languishes near a 10-month low during the Asian session on Friday, awaiting a break below 0.6800 before the next leg up amid a bullish US Dollar. Firming Fed rate-hike expectations, along with fading hopes for US-Iran diplomacy, help the USD hold gains at its highest level since April 2025. Moreover, the RBA’s dovish tilt undermines the Aussie and backs the case for further losses.

USD/JPY bulls turn cautious near 160.00 amid intervention risks

USD/JPY enters a bullish consolidation phase around its highest level since early September as bulls turn cautious amid intervention risk near 160.00. Meanwhile, the downside seems cushioned as the wide US-Japan interest rate gap keeps the Yen carry trade active. Furthermore, the possibility of a jumbo Fed rate hike and Middle East uncertainties hold the US Dollar near a 19-month top, supporting the currency pair.

Gold remains on the back foot below $3,900

Gold now alternates gains with losses below the $3,900 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal struggles to regain traction amid the firmer US Dollar, mixed US Treasury yields and expectations of further tightening by the Fed at its December meeting.

Bitcoin just posted five straight losing weeks, and the storm may not be over yet

Bitcoin is struggling to find support, slipping below $70,000 as multiple headwinds threaten to push the Crypto King lower. The much-anticipated “Uptober” rally failed to materialize, with persistent selling pressure and widespread liquidations instead reinforcing the “Rektober” narrative.
