Silver price (XAG/USD) attempts to snap its five-day winning streak, retreating from the year-to-date highs and trading near $27.00 per troy ounce during early European hours on Thursday. The price of the Silver received upward support as the US Dollar lost ground due to the dovish sentiment surrounding the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest rates trajectory.

Silver price could find key support around the major level of $26.50, following the psychological level of $26.00, in conjunction with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $25.94. A break below this level could exert downward pressure on navigating the region around a major support level at $25.50 and the 14-Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $25.43.

Technical analysis suggests a bullish confirmation for the Silver price. The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is positioned above the 50 mark, indicating strength in buying momentum. Additionally, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a divergence above the signal line and remains above the centerline.

On the upside, the year-to-date high of $27.33 could act as an immediate resistance, followed by the major level at $27.50. A breakthrough above the latter could lead the Silver price to explore the region around the psychological level of $28.00.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD drops to daily lows near 1.1630

EUR/USD now loses some traction and slips back to the area of daily lows around 1.1630 on the back of a mild bounce in the US Dollar. Fresh US data, including the September PCE inflation numbers and the latest read on December consumer sentiment, didn’t really move the needle, so the pair is still on course to finish the week with a respectable gain.

GBP/USD trims gains, recedes toward 1.3320

GBP/USD is struggling to keep its daily advance, coming under fresh pressure and retreating to the 1.3320 zone following a mild bullish attempt in the Greenback. Even though US consumer sentiment surprised to the upside, the US Dollar isn’t getting much love, as traders are far more interested in what the Fed will say next week.

Gold makes a U-turn, back to $4,200

Gold is now losing the grip and receding to the key $4,200 region per troy ounce following some signs of life in the Greenback and a marked bounce in US Treasury yields across the board. The positive outlook for the precious metal, however, remains underpinned by steady bets for extra easing by the Fed.
