Silver price reaches a new four-week high but retraces from those levels to finish the day, forming a gravestone doji, suggesting neither buyers nor sellers win the battle, which would continue into the following week. Therefore, the XAG/USD finished the week trading at $24.26 after hitting a daily high of $24.52.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The XAG/USD daily chart portrays the pair as neutral-biased in the near term. Although the daily EMAs sit beneath Silver’s spot price, XAG/USD’s failure to break market structure above the April 25 low turned resistance at $24.49 would likely keep Silver’s price depressed. Nevertheless, real news like the Federal Reserve (Fed) monetary policy decision on Wednesday could give direction after printing a doji on the latest day of the week.

For a bullish continuation, XAG/USD must reclaim $24.49, which could put into play the $25.00 figure per troy ounce in play. A breach of the latter will expose the May 11 high at $25.47 before challenging May 10 daily high at $25.91.

XAG/USD’s failure to break $24.49 could pave the way for further losses. The XAG/USD could dive towards the June 2 daily high at $24.01, followed by the June 8 low at $23.63, ahead of dropping toward $23.50.

AUD/USD consolidates above 0.7000; remains close to monthly top

AUD/USD holds steady above 0.7000 during the Asian session on Friday, trading just below the previous day's monthly low amid diverging forces. A hawkish RBA continues to support the Aussie, while the recent decline in US bond yields keeps the US Dollar depressed near a three-week low. However, oil-driven inflation fears reinforce Fed hike bets, which, along with geopolitical risks, could benefit the safe-haven buck and cap the currency pair.

USD/JPY bounces off one-month low; climbs to 157.00 amid reviving USD demand

USD/JPY rebounds from the 156.00 neighborhood, or a one-month low touched during Friday’s Asian session, with bulls looking to extend momentum beyond 157.00 amid the emergence of some US Dollar buying. Meanwhile, Japan's National CPI rose to a nine-month peak and reaffirmed BoJ rate-hike bets, which could support the Japanese Yen and cap gains for the currency pair.

Gold treads water around $4,000

Gold prices maintain its offered stance in place at the end of the week, hovering around the key $4,000 threshold per troy ounce. The persistent selling bias in the precious metal comes amid decent gains in the US Dollar and an acceptable rebound in US Treasury yields across the curve, all alongside further upside traction in crude oil prices.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin holds the 50-day EMA as Ethereum and XRP face structural resistance

Bitcoin gradually ticks up on Friday, trading above $81,000. The Crypto King has recently defended structural support near $80,000, reinforcing the prevailing bullish outlook. Ethereum similarly edges higher above $2,400, while Ripple trades above $1.32 after testing support around $1.30.

The French bond panic is overdone. Here's what the market is misreading

France's 10-year government bond yield has climbed above 5%, reigniting fears of a sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone. With public debt exceeding €3.5 trillion, persistent budget deficits and a fragmented political landscape, investors are increasingly questioning the French government's ability to stabilize its finances.

What November 3 means for the Fed's rate path and the US Dollar

The USD faces a decisive period ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. While markets anticipate another interest rate increase from the Fed in December, the battle for control of Congress could reshape fiscal policy expectations and, indirectly, the path of US monetary policy in 2027.
