Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD price retreats below $23.00 as double-top looms

Silver is facing a potential double-top formation on the daily chart suggests further retracement is possible.
Key support levels include the 50-day moving average (DMA) at $22.93 and the 20-day DMA at $22.45.
On the upside, reclaiming $23.00 would bring the 200-DMA at $23.28 into focus, followed by the September 23 daily high at $23.77.

Silver price trips down and aims below the $23.00 mark, which was briefly visited by the grey metal and capped by a strong recovery from the Greenback. The XAG/USD is trading at $22.86, down 1.82%.

A double-top in the daily chart is forming, suggesting that XAG/USD could retrace further, past the latest cycle low of $22.45, the October 26 low. However, on its way to challenging the latter, Silver must break key technical support levels like the 50-day moving average (DMA) at 422.93, and the 20-day moving average (DMA) at $22.45. Once those levels are cleared, Silver could shift from a neutral to a downward bias.

Conversely, if XAG/USD stays above the 50-DMA and reclaims $23.00, the following resistance level would be the 200-DMA at $23.28, which needs to be cleared, along with the September 23 daily high at $23.77, the latest cycle high, to shift the grey-metal bias to upwards. In that outcome, the XAG/USD next resistance would be $24.00.

EUR/USD: Gains remain capped by 1.1650

EUR/USD remains in recovery-mode following the closing bell in Euroland on Wednesday, hovering around the 1.1650 zone amid renewed downside pressure on the US Dollar and a marginal improvement in the global sentiment.

GBP/USD appears bid around 1.3370

GBP/USD reverses part of its recent multi-day decline, gathering some balance and managing to reach the 1.3400 region, where some initial resistance seems to have turned up. Cable’s uptick comes in response to some loss of momentum in the Greenback despite the geopolitical scenario remaining fragile.

Gold recovers modestly despite intensifying Middle East crisis

Gold keeps its daily gains well in place, although a break above the $5,200 mark per troy ounce still remains elusive on Wednesday. The yellow metal’s rebound comes in response to the persistent flight-to-safety amid intense geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and the bearish performance of the US Dollar.
