Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD tanks over 3%, breaks key support levels as bears eye $23.00

XAG/USD confirms a downtrend by breaking below 200, 100, and 50-day moving averages.
Downtrend signals potential testing of November 13 swing low at $21.88 unless buyers intervene to lift the spot price.
On the upside, buyers must reclaim $23.00 to challenge and surpass broken DMAs, potentially targeting $24.00.

Silver price is collapsing more than 3% in the day, breaking key support levels on its way south, set to finish the week with losses of more than 9.50%. At the time of writing, XAG/USD is trading at $22.97 after hitting a daily high of $23.89.

XAG/USD’s daily chart confirms the grey metal’s downtrend after breaching the 200, 100, and 50-day moving averages (DMAs), each at $23,49, $23.24, and $23.06. That said unless buyers lift the spot price, that would set the stage for a test of the November 13 swing low of $21.88.

Firstly, XAG/USD sellers must drag prices below a support trendline that passes at around $22.69. Once cleared, the next stop would be $22.00, ahead of the November 13 daily low mentioned above.

Conversely, if Silver buyers reclaim the $23.00 figure, that could pave the way for reclaiming each DMA previously broken. Once those levels are cleared, up next would bet the $24.00 mark.

EUR/USD remains bid, focus stays on 1.1900

EUR/USD has broken its two-day run of losses and is ticking modestly higher on Thursday, hovering around the 1.1880 area as the US Dollar struggles to find clear direction. Weekly Initial Jobless Claims rose more than expected, taking a bit of shine off the Greenback, but markets are largely in wait-and-see mode ahead of Friday’s US CPI release.

GBP/USD sticks to the bid bias, still below 1.3700

GBP/USD is trading with decent gains around 1.3650 on Thursday. Indeed, Cable is attempting to shake off the weakness seen earlier in the week amid another choppy session for the Greenback, while a run of disappointing UK data has so far failed to derail the pair’s tentative recovery.

Gold recedes slightly, trades below $5,100

Gold remains stuck in choppy trade on Thursday, deflating marginally just below the $5,100 mark per troy ounce as the US Dollar drifts without a clear trend. Softer US Treasury yields across the curve are offering some support, but with markets treading carefully ahead of Friday’s US CPI release, conviction remains limited and price action continues to look hesitant.
