Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD surged back above $23.70 as bulls target $24.00

Silver soared more than 4%, after bouncing off the daily lows of $22.51.
Fed’s decision to ease monetary policy in 2024, weakened the Greenback.

Silver price stages a comeback after sliding for seven straight days as the Federal Reserve pivots toward easing monetary policy, a tailwind for the grey metal, set to make a U-turn in the week. At the time of writing, the XAG/USD is trading at $23.79 after rallying more than 4% on Wednesday.

XAG/USD has shifted neutral to upward bias after reclaiming the 50, 100, and 200-day moving averages (DMAs), on its way toward the current price. A breach of the $24.00 figure could pave the way to test the August 30 swing high at $25.00, before launching an assault toward the May 10 swing high at $25.91.

On the other hand, if Silver sellers drag prices below the 200-DMA at around $23.55, the non-yielding metal could dive towards the 50-DMA at $23.24, before slumping toward the 100-DMA at $23.19.

AUD/USD seems vulnerable near 0.6800, 10-month low amid bullish USD

AUD/USD languishes near a 10-month low during the Asian session on Friday, awaiting a break below 0.6800 before the next leg up amid a bullish US Dollar. Firming Fed rate-hike expectations, along with fading hopes for US-Iran diplomacy, help the USD hold gains at its highest level since April 2025. Moreover, the RBA’s dovish tilt undermines the Aussie and backs the case for further losses.

USD/JPY bulls turn cautious near 160.00 amid intervention risks

USD/JPY enters a bullish consolidation phase around its highest level since early September as bulls turn cautious amid intervention risk near 160.00. Meanwhile, the downside seems cushioned as the wide US-Japan interest rate gap keeps the Yen carry trade active. Furthermore, the possibility of a jumbo Fed rate hike and Middle East uncertainties hold the US Dollar near a 19-month top, supporting the currency pair.

Gold remains on the back foot below $3,900

Gold now alternates gains with losses below the $3,900 mark per troy ounce on Friday. The precious metal struggles to regain traction amid the firmer US Dollar, mixed US Treasury yields and expectations of further tightening by the Fed at its December meeting.

Bitcoin just posted five straight losing weeks, and the storm may not be over yet

Bitcoin is struggling to find support, slipping below $70,000 as multiple headwinds threaten to push the Crypto King lower. The much-anticipated “Uptober” rally failed to materialize, with persistent selling pressure and widespread liquidations instead reinforcing the “Rektober” narrative.

Week ahead – Fed Minutes, inflation data and Nvidia earnings to guide investors

Fed minutes may add to hawkish tone as bets of 50-bps hike grow. Nvidia to report earnings as bar to impress high after spy scandal. Trade and geopolitics to be focal point of Trump-Xi summit.

Gold hit its lowest level of 2026 near $3,850

Gold (XAU/USD) attempts to stabilize around $3,890 on Friday after falling to $3,852 on Thursday, its lowest level since October 2025. The precious metal has lost more than 4% this week, as investors increasingly anticipate further monetary tightening from the Federal Reserve (Fed). The latest decline reflects a sharp change in market expectations.
