Silver Price Analysis: XAGUSD struggles around the 200-DMA and tumbles toward the $21.10s area

  • Silver struggles to break the 200-day EMA at $21.48 after hitting a daily high of $21.61.
  • Silver Price Analysis: A doji in the daily chart suggests Silver is consolidating.

Silver price remains unable to clear the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $21.48 decisively, retreats after hitting a daily high of $21.61, trading below its opening price by 0.15%. At the time of writing, the XAGUSD is trading at $21.19 a troy ounce.

Silver (XAGUSD) Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The Silver rally stalled at around the 200-day EMA at $21.48, in the last couple of days, with Wednesday’s price action set to form a doji, meaning that buyers could be refraining from testing higher prices, with the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for October, right around the corner. It should be noted that if XAGUSD tumbles below $21.00, a fall toward this week’s low at $20.38 is on the cards,

Short term, the XAGUSD appears to be forming a top at around $21.40-60. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), at bearish territory with a downslope, suggests some selling pressure piling, but a break below the confluence of Wednesday’s low and the daily pivot point at $21.16 would exacerbate a test of the psychological $21.00.

XAGUSD key resistance levels lie at $21.60, followed by the R1 daily pivot at $21.82 and the $22.00 mark.

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 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.
