Silver price prints minimal gains of 0.15% on Friday even though US Treasury bond yields climbed. Nevertheless, the Greenback remains down, a tailwind for Silver prices, which trade at $22.60 after jumping from a low of $22.37.

XAG/USD is downward biased but has bottomed out at around $22.15-$22.50, which has opened the door for an upward correction. If buyers could lift prices toward $23.00 per troy ounce, that could open the door to test the 100-day Moving Average (DMA) at $23.09, followed by the 50-DMA at $23.26.

On the other hand, a ‘death cross’ formed three days ago on the path of least resistance, a bearish signal that could clear the path for further downside. The next support surfaces at the January 22 low of $21.93, followed by the October 23 pivot low at $20.69.

Is Gold about to enter its biggest bull run since 2020?

Gold has stormed back into the spotlight and its next move could leave late buyers chasing. On August 5, the yellow metal surged almost 7% – roughly $174 – to close near $4,308 an ounce, posting one of its biggest daily advances in recent history. A weaker U.S dollar, falling Treasury yields, changing Federal Reserve expectations and renewed safe-haven demand all struck at once.
