Silver price gathers steam and tests the 200-day moving average (DMA) at $23.38 at the time of writing. The XAG/USD hit a daily low/high of $22.88 and $23.69 per troy ounce, but as the Greenback (USD) pares some of its earlier losses, the non-yielding metal struggles to stay above the 200-DMA.

From a technical perspective, as the XAG/USD approached the September 22 high at $23.76, price action was rejected shy of the $23.70 area, as the white metal hit a daily/weekly high before reversing its course above the 200-DMA. For a bullish continuation, Silver buyers must keep prices above the latter to challenge the $24.00 area, but first, they must breach the latest cycle mentioned above.

On the flip side, if XAG/USD drops below the 200-DMA, the next floor would emerge at the $23.00 mark, followed by the 50-DMA at $22.91, and the 20-DMA at $22.19.

Gold recovers early lost ground to YTD low; Fed hike bets and firmer USD to cap upside

Gold builds on its intraday recovery from the lowest level since November 2025, touched earlier this Tuesday, and climbs to the top end of its daily range heading into the European session.
