Silver (XAG/USD) remains pressured towards $25.00 amid the early Asian session on Friday, after a two-day losing streak.

Even so, the metal buyers stay positive as MACD flashes bullish signals as the prices are way beyond the short-term key supports.

That said, the latest pullback from a horizontal area from June 21, 2021, around $25.50-55, directs the silver sellers towards a 50% Fibonacci retracement (Fibo.) level of May-September 2021 downside near $25.00.

However, an upward sloping support line from early February and the 200-DMA, respectively around $24.50 and $24.10, will challenge XAG/USD downside afterward.

In a case where silver prices drop below $24.10, odds of witnessing further declines towards the latest 2021 peak near $23.40 and then to the $23.00 threshold can’t be ruled out.

Alternatively, recovery moves need to cross the immediate horizontal area near $25.50-55 before challenging the 61.8% Fibo. level close to $26.00.

Following that, July 2021 high near $26.80 should lure the silver buyers.

GBP/USD extends the drop to 1.3360

GBP/USD builds on Monday’s decline and briefly clinches five-day lows near 1.3360 on Tuesday. Cable’s extra pullback follows the better tone in the Greenback as uncertainty in the Middle East prompts investors to adopt a cautious stance. Meanwhile, an apathetic UK labour market report also collaborates with the selling pressure on the British Pound.

EUR/USD looks inconclusive near 1.1420

EUR/USD trades in a tight range in the low 1.1400s on Tuesday, struggling to gain momentum amid an equally absence of clear direction in the US Dollar (USD). Uncertainty surrounding the US-Iran conflict is capping the pair’s upside, while traders avoid taking significant positions ahead of Thursday’s ECB gathering.

Middle East crisis intensifies, Gold up

Gold gains ground on Tuesday, reversing Monday’s pessimism and advancing toward the $4,100 mark per troy ounce. Nevertheless, uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict and rising expectations for a hawkish Fed policy outlook are expected to limit the precious metal’s bullish momentum in the near term.

XRP extends recovery as on-chain activity grows

Ripple (XRP) ticks up and trades around $1.13 at the time of writing on Tuesday. This rebound aligns with a broader recovery in the cryptocurrency market, attributed to reports that mediators between the United States (US) and Iran are seeking a 10-day cessation of strikes to find a way back to the signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The Iranian war has again risen

The Iranian war has again risen to the top of the economics factor list. There is no end in sight. Intelligence experts say the current level of offense/retaliation will not change minds in Tehran, while in Washington, Trump fears all-out war, which would mean boots on the ground.

US Dollar mid-year outlook: Exceptional currency, exceptional risks?

The US Dollar enters the second half of 2026 in a markedly different position from a year ago. The King currency has recovered, reflecting persistent US inflation, changing expectations for Fed policy, geopolitical tensions and renewed demand for defensive assets.
