Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD edges up, maintain its bullish bias, buyers target $24.00

Silver price stays firm, despite subdued trading conditions.
Key resistance levels in focus for XAG/USD, with $24.00 as immediate hurdle, followed by June high at $24.52.
Downside risks include potential drop below the 200-DMA at $23.32 as a critical support to watch.

Silver price advanced on Thursday by 0.91%, amid low volume conditions, and as the Asian Pacific session begins, trades at around $23.82, unchanged in the early Friday session, as Japan and the US markets, reopen after being on holiday.

Silver daily chart portrays the grey metal as neutral to upward biased but remains near the weekly highs, which could pave the way for a test of the $24.00 figure. Once cleared, the next resistance would be the Jun 9 high at $24.52 before XAG/USD climbs to $25.00. Once surpassed, that would cement the uptrend, and expose the year-to-date (YTD) high at $26.12.

Conversely, if XAG/USD falls below the November 23 low of $23.60, that could pave the way for testing the 200-day moving average (DMA) at $23.32. If sellers drag prices below that demand zone, the XAG/USD would shift neutral bearish, and expose the 20-DMA at $23.13, followed by the 50-DMA at $22.75.

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.

Week ahead – Fed Minutes, inflation data and Nvidia earnings to guide investors

Fed minutes may add to hawkish tone as bets of 50-bps hike grow. Nvidia to report earnings as bar to impress high after spy scandal. Trade and geopolitics to be focal point of Trump-Xi summit.

Gold hit its lowest level of 2026 near $3,850

Gold (XAU/USD) attempts to stabilize around $3,890 on Friday after falling to $3,852 on Thursday, its lowest level since October 2025. The precious metal has lost more than 4% this week, as investors increasingly anticipate further monetary tightening from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The latest decline reflects a sharp change in market expectations.
