Silver recovered some ground on Wednesday as US Treasury bond yields plunged due to weaker-than-expected US jobs data. At the time of writing, the XAG/USD trades at $29.98 and gains 1.69%.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

A double top chart pattern emerged in Silver’s daily chart, opening the door for further losses. Although the grey metal climbed toward the May 24 low, turning resistance at $30.05, buyers are struggling to reclaim $30.00, paving the way for further downside.

If the XAG/USD falls below the latest cycle high seen on April 12 at $29.79, that would open the door to challenging $29.00. A breach of the latter will expose previous key resistance levels that turned support, like the May 18, 2021, high of $28.74, followed by the June 10, 2021, high of $28.34. Up next would be the ‘double top’ objective at $27.80.

EUR/USD trims gains, back below 1.1800

EUR/USD now loses some upside momentum, returning to the area below the 1.1800 support as the Greenback manages to regain some composure following the SCOTUS-led pullback earlier in the session.

GBP/USD off highs, recedes to the sub-1.3500 area

Following earlier highs north of 1.3500 the figure, GBP/USD now faces some renewed downside pressure, revisiting the 1.3490 zone as the US Dollar manages to regain some upside impulse in the latter part of the NA session on Friday.

Gold climbs to weekly tops, approaches $5,100/oz

Gold keeps the bid tone well in place at the end of the week, now hitting fresh weekly highs and retargeting the key $5,100 mark per troy ounce. The move higher in the yellow metal comes in response to ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and modest losses in the US Dollar.
