Silver's price advanced 0.47% on Tuesday but remains trading below a significant eight-year high reached on Monday at $32.51. At the time of writing, the XAG/USD is at $31.96 after hitting a daily low of $31.80.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The grey metal remains upward biased even though it failed to crack the year-to-date (YTD) high of $32.51. Although the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is overbought, momentum is on the side of the buyers. Due to the uptrend's strength and speed, RSI remains shy of reaching overbought levels under strong trending conditions. In a strong uptrend, the RSI is considered overbought at 80.00.

With that said, if XAG/USD clears $32.51, further upside is seen as Silver’s next resistance emerges at $33.00. A breach of the latter could expose October’s 2012 high of $35.40.

Conversely, if Silver drops below the May 20 daily low of $30.95, further losses lie ahead. The next demand zone would be the April 12 high of $29.79, followed by the psychological figure of $28.00.

GBP/USD loses momentum, flirts with 1.3200

GBP/USD is struggling to maintain its positive bias on Thursday, retreating toward the 1.3200 region in response to the pick in the buying interest around the Greenback.

Week ahead – NFP report to challenge Dollar strength and the hawkish Fed

Dollar strength dominates markets, as the hawkish Fed overshadows geopolitics and lower oil prices. NFP week could drive September Fed hike expectations and boost market volatility. The euro lacks fresh bullish catalysts, all eyes on the preliminary inflation report and the ECB Forum.

Regime change: Inside Kevin Warsh's first move to make the Fed unreadable on purpose

The rate did not move. That was the least interesting thing about Kevin Warsh's first meeting in charge of the Fed. The FOMC held its benchmark at 3.50%-3.75% for the fourth straight meeting, exactly as priced, and then the new chair used his first press conference to dismantle the machinery the market has leaned on for a decade.
