Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD rallies hard to eight-year highs at $30, more gains in the offing

  • XAG/USD tested the $30 mark for the first time in eight years.
  • Bulls remain in control amid the retail-trade frenzy.
  • $32.25 next in sight for buyers amid bullish monthly RSI.

Silver (XAG/USD) bulls remain unstoppable for the fourth straight trading session this Monday, as the price reached the highest levels since February 2013 at $30.06.

The relentless rise in silver is mainly driven by the Reddit Group’s led retail-trader craze, who have now shifted their attention to silver while targeting the white metal at $1000/ ounce.

Meanwhile, SD Bullion cited that the physical stock of silver is almost gone, further fuelling the rally in the precious metal.

From a technical perspective, the outlook appears bullish for the XAG bulls, with the next upside target placed at the horizontal trendline resistance (yellow) at $32.25 should the buyers gain a strong foothold above the $30 mark.

Further north, the horizontal trendline resistance located at $35.23 could challenge the bulls’ commitment.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hold firmer above 50.00, now peeping into the overbought territory, suggesting that there is a scope for further upside.

Meanwhile, a 21-simple moving average (SMA) and 100-SMA bullish crossover on the said timeframe, which occurred a few months ago, adds credence to the move higher.

Further, a potential golden cross also keeps the doors open for more gains.

AUD/USD bounces off multi-month low, nears 0.6900

AUD/USD edges higher toward 0.6900 in the Asian session on Wednesday, recovering some of the previous day’s losses to its lowest level since March as the US Dollar stalls the hot US CPI-inspired rally amid hopes of a US-Iran peace deal. Meanwhile, hawkish comments from FOMC members have almost confirmed another December rate hike, which favors USD bulls and should cap the Aussie.

USD/JPY remains capped below 159.00 amid looming intervention risks

USD/JPY struggles to build on the previous day’s strong gains to a near one-month top as intervention risk supports the Japanese Yen while hopes of a US-Iran peace deal cap the safe-haven US Dollar. That keeps the pair's upside limited below 159.00, for now.

Gold climbs to $4,050 as USD pauses hot CPI-led rally; Fed hike bets to cap upside

Gold attracts some dip buyers during the Asian session, and climbs to the $4,050 level in the last session, reversing a part of the previous day's heavy losses. The US Dollar pauses for a breather following Tuesday's hot US inflation figures-inspired rally to a near two-week high amid hopes for US-Iran diplomacy and offers some support to the commodity. However, expectations for a more aggressive policy tightening by the US Federal Reserve should keep a lid on any meaningful upside for the non-yielding bullion, warranting some caution for bullish traders.

Zcash tests $1,000 support as hot US CPI data offsets Grayscale’s marketing
Zcash (ZEC) is down to almost $1,000 on Wednesday, facing intense selling pressure over the last five days, with losses totaling over 20%. The hotter-than-expected US monthly inflation data offset the Grayscale’s Zcash-focused marketing campaign and the sponsor fees contribution to the network.
Beyond the CPI: The complete inflation story

Here we go again. The Bureau of Labor Statistics released the October Consumer Price Index data. It was hotter than expected. Persistent price inflation has once again raised expectations for a December rate hike. In fact, many analysts now think the Fed may hike 50 basis points.

Gold reclaimed $4,100. Tuesday’s CPI test decides if it holds
Gold (XAU/USD) starts the week on a positive note, reclaiming the $4,100 psychological level as the US Dollar (USD) retreats from its recent highs. The precious metal recovers from Friday's losses, although investors remain cautious ahead of Tuesday's US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report, which could determine the next direction for Bullion.
