Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD shines above $24.00 fueled by soft US Dollar

  • Silver's nearly 1% gain drives it to around $24.40, as market bets on a June Federal Reserve rate cut.
  • Technical indicators bullish as silver surpasses 50, 100, and 200-day DMAs, eyeing December highs.
  • Despite bullish trend, potential pullback risks exist if silver dips below $24.50, with supports at $24.00 and $23.57.

Silver price advances during Thursday’s session, gains almost 1% and stays above the $24.00 figure as investors expect a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in June. Therefore, XAG/USD exchanges hands at $24.40.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

After bottoming at around $22.50, the grey metal extended its gains due to fundamental news. That opened the door to clear key resistance levels seen at the 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages (DMAs). If buyers push prices above the December 28 high of $24.48, look for a leg-up toward the December 22 peak at $24.60, ahead of the $25.00 psychological figure.

On a bearish scenario, the less likely as Relative Strength Index (RSI) studies show bullish momentum, XAG/USD’s daily close below $24.50, could sponsor a pullback. The first support would be the $24.00, followed by the March 6 low of $23.57,

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.
