Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD outshines Gold, near YTD highs despite high US yields

Silver's bullish streak leads above $25.00, defying broader market trends with over 1.40% gains.
A new year-to-date high at $25.44 highlights XAG/USD’s resilience, with $26.00 now in sight as next resistance.
Should Silver retreat below $25.00, a move towards $24.50 and potentially $24.01 could unfold, testing buyer strength.

Silver's price shines on Friday and registers solid gains of more than 1.40%, shrugging off Gold’s two consecutive days of losses. It rises 1.52%, trading at $25.18 a troy ounce at the time of writing. XAG/USD advanced even though the Greenback remains strong, underpinned by high US Treasury bond yields.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

During the session, Silver printed a new year-to-date (YTD) high of $25.44, but the advance toward $26.00 was capped by an upslope support trendline that turned resistance. That sent XAG/USD retreating toward the current price levels. Nevertheless, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator is still bullish, indicating that bullish momentum remains in charge, and the $26.00 resistance level could be up for grabs.

On the other hand, if XAG/USD falls below $25.00, sellers could launch an assault towards the $24.50 area, followed by the March 12 daily low of $24.01.

EUR/USD climbs to daily highs near 1.1820

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances to the area of daily peaks north of the 1.1800 barrier at the end of the week. The pair’s decent move higher comes against the backdrop of a generalised lack of direction in the FX galaxy and the mild offered stance in the US Dollar.

GBP/USD trims losses, retests 1.3460

After briefly challenging its key 200-day SMA near 1.3440, GBP/USD now manages to regain some balance and revisit the 1.3460 zone on Friday. Cable’s pullback comes as the selling pressure on the Greenback gathers traction, reigniting some recovery in the risk-linked space.

Gold flirts with four-week highs past $5,200

Gold extends its rebound, climbing for a third consecutive session and pushing back above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The move higher continues to draw support from lingering geopolitical tensions and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding US trade policy, both of which are keeping safe-haven demand firmly in play.
