Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD renews two-year low near $20.20, further downside appears difficult

  • Silver seesaws around the lowest levels since July 2020 during the four-day downtrend, sidelined of late.
  • Oversold RSI, key support lines from 2021 challenge bears.

Silver Price (XAG/USD) dropped to the lowest levels in two years before portraying the latest inaction at around $20.30 during Friday’s Asian session. In doing so, the bright metal remains on the back foot for the fourth consecutive day.

However, the oversold RSI (14) line joins downward sloping support lines from September and December 2021, respectively around $20.30 and $20.15, to restrict the quote’s further downside.

The same suggests the short-covering move targeting the mid-June low near $20.90.

However, a downward sloping resistance line from June 06, at $21.50 by the press time, precedes the 50-DMA hurdle of $21.85 to challenge the XAG/USD buyers.

In a case where the bullion prices rally beyond $21.85, June’s peak of $22.51 will be in focus.

Alternatively, the $20.00 psychological magnet will act as an extra filter to the south, other than the aforementioned support lines around $20.30 and $20.15.

During the quote’s weakness past $20.00, the year 2019 high near $19.65 could test the silver sellers before directing them to a 2021 peak surrounding $18.85.

Overall, silver prices remain bearish but a short-term rebound can’t be ruled out.

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP pare gains despite increasing hopes of upcoming Fed rate cut

Bitcoin is steadying above $91,000 at the time of writing on Friday. Ethereum remains above $3,100, reflecting positive sentiment ahead of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) monetary policy meeting on December 10.

Week ahead – Rate cut or market shock? The Fed decides

Fed rate cut widely expected; dot plot and overall meeting rhetoric also matter. Risk appetite is supported by Fed rate cut expectations; cryptos show signs of life. RBA, BoC and SNB also meet; chances of surprises are relatively low.

Ripple faces persistent bear risks, shrugging off ETF inflows

Ripple is extending its decline for the second consecutive day, trading at $2.06 at the time of writing on Friday. Sentiment surrounding the cross-border remittance token continues to lag despite steady inflows into XRP spot ETFs.
