Silver price uptrend continued during the week despite registering losses of around 2.40%. Nevertheless, May 2’s price action forming a ‘dragonfly doji,’ a bullish candle, alongside technical indicators suggesting that the grey metal remains bullish, could pave the way for a recovery. At the time of writing, XAG/USD trades at $26.54, down 0.43%.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

As previously mentioned, Silver remains bullishly biased after posting an impressive rally that passed the $29.00 mark. It appears to have bottomed out at around the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at $26.41, though buyers had been unable to test the $27.00 mark.

Although momentum had shifted bearishly, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) diving below the 50-midline, upside risks remain. If buyers reclaim the $27.00 figure, that could reignite buying pressure and pave the way to challenge the next resistance level seen at the 38.2% Fibo retracement at $27.70. Once surpassed, the next step would be the 23.6% Fibo retracement at $28.49.

Nevertheless, with the RSI standing at bearish territory, sellers need to push prices below the May 2 low of $26.02. Once cleared the next stop would be the 50-day moving average (DMA) at $25.79, followed by the 78.6% Fibo retracement at $25.50.

GBP/USD gains as easing Fed hike bets weigh on US Dollar

The EUR/USD pair extends its sideways consolidative price move during the Asian session on Tuesday, though it manages to hold comfortably above the 1.1400 mark. Moreover, spot prices remain well within striking distance of a nearly two-week high, touched last Thursday.

Gold drops toward $4,100 on fresh Iran tensions

Gold extends losses toward $4,100 early Tuesday, down for the second straight day. Tensions over the Strait of Hormuz remain elevated, lending some support to the safe-haven US Dollar and weighing on the bullion. However, receding bets on further Fed rate hikes could keep USD bulls on the back foot and help limit downside for the non-yielding yellow metal.

The US Dollar just beat the Swiss Franc at its own safe-haven game

The Swissie is nearly 6% below January’s peak against the USD after a sharp decline that came along with the war in Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
