Today’s decline puts the near-term rising trend structure at risk of being violated. Dynamic support is represented by the internal uptrend line and 20-Day line. Notice that since the 20-Day MA was reclaimed on October 29 there have been no daily closes below the line, even though intraday trading did occur below the 20-Day line.

If natural gas closes today below the 20-Day MA, it will show a change in character. This would put the 2.29 recent swing low at risk of being busted. That would then signal further weakness and increase the chance of the 50-Day MA, now at 3.13, being tested as support.

50-Day Moving Average Support is Key

The 50-Day MA is more significant than the 20-Day MA, particularly since it shows potential support above the top boundary line of a large symmetrical triangle pattern. In addition, it is above the most recent swing low at 2.98. That swing was the first test of a prior resistance area related to the triangle formation.

It is also part of the larger trend structure of higher swing highs and higher lows, that began from the October swing low. It also resides around the initial triangle breakout trigger of 3.02. Now that the top boundary lines have fallen further, it also needs to be considered as a potential support if it approached.

Bearish Weekly Chart to Complete

In addition to bearish signs on the daily chart, the weekly chart (not shown) also looks ominous and shows bearish momentum. A bearish shooting star candle will complete today, with a likely close near the lows of the week. Further, this week’s pattern includes a long tail, derived from the bearish reversal off the top rising trend channel line (circled).

In other words, this week is the result of a bearish reversal from the top of the trend. It is supportive of a continuation lower. Nonetheless, a new bearish weekly signal will not be given unless there is a drop below this week’s low and the sellers retain control.

• Gold bids cooled back below $2,650, crimping the week’s gains at the tail end.
• Market risk appetite recovered on Friday after US ISM data improved.
• Fedspeak further cooled investors concerns, Fed’s Barkin soothes market concerns.

XAU/USD dipped on Friday, with Gold prices falling roughly two-thirds of a percent and dipping back below $2,650 per ounce as market sentiment recovers from the early week’s risk-off appetite. It’s been a wobbly start to global markets during the first week of the 2025 trading season, but investors are still looking for reasons to firm up their stance heading into the new year.

Federal Reserve (Fed)  Bank of Richmond President Tom Barkin spoke to a bankers association in Maryland on Friday, highlighting that the Fed has already reduced interest rates by a full percentage point during 2024, bringing the fed funds rate down to the 4.25%-4.5% range. The US unemployment rate is also holding at historically low levels, while inflation appears to be drifting back toward the Fed’s target of 2% annually. Fed’s Barkin also downplayed the potential negative effects of incoming President Donald Trump’s plans to enact sweeping tariff proposals on his first day in office that would see the US functionally enter into simultaneous trade wars with all of the US’ closest allies and trading partners unilaterally. According to Fed policymaker Barkin, markets shouldn’t be too worried about a potential 10%-20% fee on all imported goods into the US, because the “pass-through from tariffs to prices is not straightforward, it depends on multiple factors including business supply chains, and the price elasticity of consumers.”

Coming up next week, American markets and institutions will be taking Thursday off in observation of the passing of former President Jimmy Carter, who died on December 29th at the age of 100. Friday will follow up with the first US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) print of 2025.

Gold price forecast

Gold prices have been caught in a rough cyclical churn through the last quarter of 2024, with XAU/USD bids routinely spinning around the $2,650 handle. Gold’s sideways grind is best highlighted by the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which has been moving sideways since early November and is acting like a trap for bids, keeping price action constrained.

Bulls have failed repeatedly to muscle prices back above $2,720, while selling pressure remains bolstered by a near-term technical floor at the $2,600 handle.

XAU/USD daily chart

• Silver price climbs to near $29.80 amid renewed geopolitical tensions.
• US Joe Biden discusses possible ways to strike on Iran’s nuclear facility.
• Investors expect the Fed to leave interest rates unchanged in the policy meeting this month.

Silver price (XAG/USD) rises further to near $29.80 in Friday’s European session. The white metal gains as demand for safe-haven assets has improved on renewed geopolitical tensions. According to reports from Axios, US President Joe Biden discussed possible strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities with his national security team, with few weeks remaining for President-elect Donald Trump to take administration.

Axios reported that White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan presented President Biden with options for a potential US attack on Iran’s nuclear sites. Historically, demand for safe-haven assets, such as Silver, improves in heightened geopolitical uncertainty.

Additionally, prospects of high inflation under the administration of Trump, as he is expected to tighten immigration controls, elevate import tariffs, and lower taxes, have also strengthened safe-haven demand. Silver tends to face high demand as investors use it as a hedge against inflation.

Meanwhile, the US Dollar (USD) edges down on Friday after a sharp rally on Thursday, with investors focusing on the US ISM Manufacturing PMI data for December, which will be published at 15:00 GMT. The Manufacturing PMI is estimated to have remained unchanged at 48.4, suggesting that factory activities contracted steadily.

10-year US Treasury yields drop to near 4.55% even though the Federal Reserve (Fed) is certain to pause the current policy-easing spell in the policy announcement on January 29.

Silver technical analysis

Silver price rebounds to near the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which trades around $29.85. However, the outlook of the white metal remains bearish till it stays below the upward-sloping trendline, which is plotted from the February 29 low of $22.30 on a daily timeframe.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) rebounds above 40.00. A bearish momentum would come to an end if it sustains above that level.

Looking down, the September low of $27.75 would act as key support for the Silver price. On the upside, the 50-day EMA around $30.90 would be the barrier.

Silver daily chart

Created on January 03, 2025

• One of the things that we will talk about in the early part of 2025 is going to be energy.
• After all, energy had been beaten up pretty severely during most of 2024, and this can be plainly seen in the West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil market.
• That being said, the last several sessions have been very bullish, and I think we are onto something here.

Taking further upward pressure to the market is the fact that the Crude Oil Inventories in the United States came in at -1.2 million, suggesting that we are starting to see continued energy demand.

New year, new America

Keep in mind this year is going to be interesting for America, as the incoming administration is very pro-business, and is likely to do everything it can to spur economic growth. This should drive up demand for energy, as of course the crude oil market is the “life’s blood” of economic activity. Because of this, it makes perfect sense that we are starting to see energy breakout, and it’s probably worth noting that the spot US Oil contract has broken above the crucial $72.50 level.

The only thing left at this point for the Bears to hang onto is the fact that the 200 Day EMA has offered a little bit of resistance, but quite frankly I don’t see any reason why it will hold. If we can break above the highs of the trading session on Thursday, then I suspect that crude oil continues to go much higher, probably aiming toward $80 before it is all said and done. However, it would make a certain amount of sense for the market to pull back toward the $72.50 level again, looking for some type of confirmation on the breakout via a pullback and bounce.

The size of the candlestick is somewhat impressive, and of course traders have come back to work, at least in a certain number, and therefore it does make sense that we would see more activity in this market. After all, I’ve been saying for weeks that it looks like we are building a basing pattern, and Thursday looks like it does in fact confirm that.
