Silver spot price climbed on Monday, though the 200-DMA capped its uptrend.
XAG/USD Price Analysis: The most likely scenario is downwards, with solid resistance from $21.90 and beyond.

Silver price registered gains on Monday amidst thin liquidity conditions due to a US holiday. However, its rally was capped at a technical juncture, with the important 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) rejecting higher prices for the white metal. Consequently, the XAG/USD retreated and settled at around $21.79 a troy ounce at the time of typing.

The XAG/USD daily chart portrays a large area of resistance resting above Silver’s spot price, led by the 200-day EMA at $21.93, followed by the 100, 20, and 50-day EMAs, each at $22.21, $22.36, and $22.64, respectively. Hence, the XAG/USD path of least resistance is downward biased. Still, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) turning flat at bearish territory, and the Rate of Change (RoC) almost neutral, suggests that bears are taking a respite before attacking the year’s lows.

Therefore, the XAG/USD first support would be the YTD low at $21.18. Once the white metal crosses the latter, it will expose the $21.00 figure, followed by the November 22 swing low at $20.87, and then the November 21 low at $20.59, ahead of the psychological $20.00 figure.

As an alternate scenario, if XAG’s bulls reclaim the 200-day EMA and the $22.00 mark, that would pave the way to retest the 100-day EMA.

EUR/USD: Cautiously optimistic near 1.1550 ahead of the ECB

EUR/USD extends its weekly recovery for the third day in a row on Wednesday, navigating in a sidelined fashion around 1.1550 on the back of humble losses in the US Dollar. In the meantime, market participants continue to closely follow developments in the Middle East while slowly gearing up for the ECB gathering on Thursday.

GBP/USD recedes from tops, hovers around 1.3400

GBP/USD could not sustain the initial bull run and is now slipping back toward the 1.3400 neighbourhood on Wednesday. Cable’s continuation of the ongoing leg higher follows mild selling pressure on the Greenback, despite steady uncertainty on the geopolitical front and elevated US inflation.

Gold bleeding continues as Middle East crisis escalates, Fed hike coming

Gold is accelerating its downward trends and approaches the area of $4,100 per troy ounce on Wednesday, where the 2026 bottom sits so far. The persistent decline in the precious metal almost exclusively follows the swelling opinion that the Fed will keep a cautious stance in H2, a view that was reinforced following earlier US CPI data.

$1,500: Why Ethereum just crashed 20% despite spot markets barely selling

Ethereum (ETH) recently suffered one of its sharpest declines of 2026, dropping more than 20% and briefly testing the $1,500 area. While the sell-off appeared to reflect broader market fears, derivatives and on-chain data suggest a more complex story may be unfolding beneath the surface.

Brutal sell-off: Silver deepens months-long slide, refocusing on $60

Silver has never been known for its calm temperament. The precious metal can spend weeks grinding higher before suddenly giving back months of gains in a matter of days. That volatile reputation has been on full display in recent weeks.

The US economy defies the rules: 100 days into the Oil shock and the recession signal is still missing

More than three months after the start of the Iran war and the resulting disruption to global energy markets, the US economy continues to display remarkable resilience. The conflict has triggered a sharp rise in Oil prices, reignited inflationary pressures and fueled widespread concerns about a potential economic slowdown.
