Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD forms a bearish tweezers top, seller's eye $22.00

Silver prices (XAG/USD) are struggling to maintain the upward momentum that started last Monday, currently facing consecutive days of losses.
The formation of a ‘tweezers-top’ chart pattern in XAG/USD suggests a potential for further decline, with the current price at $23.48, down by 0.92%.
If sellers maintain control and keep the price below $24.00, a pullback towards the 200-DMA is likely, with further potential decline towards the $23.00 mark.

Silver price struggles to extend its rally that began last Monday, posting back-to-back days of losses, due to a risk-on impulse, despite overall US Dollar (USD) weakness across the board. From a price action standpoint, the XAG/USD formed a ‘tweezers-top’ chart pattern, which warrants further downward action is expected; hence, XAG/USD is trading at $23.48, down 0.92%.

After forming the ‘tweezers top’, the XAG/USD resumed its downtrend but it was capped by the 200-day moving average (DMA) at $23.28 before resuming above the November 16 daily low of $23.28. A daily close above the latter could open the door to re-test the $24.00 figure.

On the other hand, if sellers stepped in, and kept prices below the $24.00 mark, the chances for a pullback to the 200-DMA increase, followed by the $23.00 mark. Further downside is expected beneath that level, exposing the latest cycle low seen at $21.88, the November 13 low.

EUR/USD flirts with three-day lows near 1.1570

EUR/USD resumes its march south on Thursday, revisting the 1.1570 region, or three-day lows, ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The intense sell-off in the pair comes in response to the solid performance of the US Dollar amid the still unresolved crisis in the Middle East. Moving forward, investors are expected to shift their focus to the release of the US NFP on Friday.

GBP/USD stays offered near 1.3340

GBP/USD fades Wednesday’s uptick and trades with decent losses in the 1.3340 zone in the latter part of Thursday’s session. Cable’s weakness, alongside the rest of the risk complex, follows the strong performance of the Greenback amid intense geopolitical jitters.

Gold: further weakness could challenge $5,000

Gold comes under fresh selling pressure on Thursday, slipping back below the $5,100 mark per troy ounce. Persistent strength in the US Dollar (USD) is preventing the yellow metal from building a meaningful recovery, even as markets remain risk-averse amid the deepening conflict in the Middle East.

Two PMIs, two Chinas

China’s economic data are often treated with a degree of caution by global investors. The challenge is not necessarily that the numbers are incorrect, but that they can describe very different parts of a vast and complex economy. Nowhere is that more evident than in China’s PMIs.
