Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD sellers attack 13-day-old support line

Silver probes intraday low, drops for the third consecutive day.
Sustained trading below 50-HMA, bearish MACD favor sellers, 200-HMA adds filters to the downside.

Anil Panchal FXStreet

Silver declines to $26.97, down 0.70% intraday, during the pre-European session trading on Friday. The metal has been pressured for the last three days and is currently challenging an upward sloping trend line from December 22.

Considering sluggish MACD and RSI conditions, not to forget extended trading below 50-HMA, silver is likely to break the immediate support line around $26.95 and test the 200-HMA level of $26.81.

While late-December top near $26.78 offers additional support, a break of which may not hesitate to conquer the $26.00 round-figure.

Alternatively, an upside break of 50-HMA, currently at $27.20, will have multiple resistances near $27.40 and $27.65 ahead of challenging Wednesday’s high of $27.92.

During the silver buyers’ dominance past-$27.92, September 2020 peak surrounding $28.90 and the $29.00 can offer intermediate stops before pushing them to the year 2020 high of $29.85.

GBP/USD advaces beyond 1.3450 after BoE decision, US Q2 GDP

GBP/USD gains positive momentum on Thursday, surpassing 1.3450 and trading at fresh multi-week highs. The Bank of England decided to maintain the benchmark rate unchanged at 3.75%. The MPC voted 6-3 to keep rates on hold, with the 3 dissenters favoring a rate hike. US Q2 GDP missing expectations helped the pair advance, while renewed US Dollar weakness across the FX board pushed the pair further up ahead of the monthly close.

EUR/USD confortable around 1.1530, highest in six weeks

The EUR/USD pair trades around 1.1530 in the American session on Thursday, reaching fresh six-week highs. The US Dollar is in sell-off mode, with multiple factors weighing on the American currency. Not only did the Federal Reserve vote divided to keep rates on hold on Wednesday, creating doubts about a September hike, but US Q2 GDP missed expectations. A suspected JPY intervention adds pressure on the Greenback.

Gold recovers the $4,100 level as US Dollar weakens further

Gold trades just above $4,100 amid a US Dollar sell-off. The Greenback enjoyed some near-term demand following Wednesday's post-FOMC downfall, but was unable to retain its gains. The preliminary estimate of the US Q2 GDP showed the economy grew at an annual rate of 1.5%, missing the market's expectations of 2.1%.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP builds recovery momentum as whales increase exposure

Ripple (XRP) rises toward the pivotal $1.10 resistance on Thursday, marking three consecutive days of gains. This neutral-to-slightly bullish outlook follows the Federal Reserve (Fed) decision to leave interest rates unchanged in the 3.50%-3.75% range.

The FOMC: Rates left on hold; dollar falls as Warsh fails to vote for hike

The Fed kept interest rates on hold today, defying a 30% chance in the Fed Funds Futures market that rates would rise. The Committee voted 9-3 to keep rates on hold, with governors Kashkari, Hammack and Logan all voting to hike rates due to concerns about inflation. The immediate market reaction has been a sharp drop in the USD on a broad basis.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
