Silver price advances by nearly 1% on Wednesday, as the US Dollar depreciates due to month-end flows, along with expectations of falling US Treasury yields. At the time of writing, XAG/USD trades at $36.25, after bouncing off daily lows of $35.68.
Even though Silver dipped to a new two-week low of $35.29 last Friday, the grey metal found bids, which pushed the spot price above $36.00 and formed a ‘morning star’ three-candle chart bullish pattern. Despite this, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remained flat in bullish territory, suggesting that the pair is neutral to upwardly biased. If XAG/USD clears key resistance levels, then the uptrend could resume.
The first key area of interest will be the June 20 high of $36.42. Once surpassed, the next stop would be $37.00, followed by the multi-year high of $37.31.
On the flip side, if XAG/USD tumbles below the June 24 low of $35.29, expect a pullback all the way towards the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $33.95.
Silver is a precious metal highly traded among investors. It has been historically used as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Although less popular than Gold, traders may turn to Silver to diversify their investment portfolio, for its intrinsic value or as a potential hedge during high-inflation periods. Investors can buy physical Silver, in coins or in bars, or trade it through vehicles such as Exchange Traded Funds, which track its price on international markets.
Silver prices can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can make Silver price escalate due to its safe-haven status, although to a lesser extent than Gold’s. As a yieldless asset, Silver tends to rise with lower interest rates. Its moves also depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAG/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Silver at bay, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to propel prices up. Other factors such as investment demand, mining supply – Silver is much more abundant than Gold – and recycling rates can also affect prices.
Silver is widely used in industry, particularly in sectors such as electronics or solar energy, as it has one of the highest electric conductivity of all metals – more than Copper and Gold. A surge in demand can increase prices, while a decline tends to lower them. Dynamics in the US, Chinese and Indian economies can also contribute to price swings: for the US and particularly China, their big industrial sectors use Silver in various processes; in India, consumers’ demand for the precious metal for jewellery also plays a key role in setting prices.
Silver prices tend to follow Gold’s moves. When Gold prices rise, Silver typically follows suit, as their status as safe-haven assets is similar. The Gold/Silver ratio, which shows the number of ounces of Silver needed to equal the value of one ounce of Gold, may help to determine the relative valuation between both metals. Some investors may consider a high ratio as an indicator that Silver is undervalued, or Gold is overvalued. On the contrary, a low ratio might suggest that Gold is undervalued relative to Silver.
Pfizer’s stock price (PFE) rose in latest intraday trading and tackled the pivotal resistance of $24.50, amid the dominance of the upward correctional wave in the short term, with ongoing positive pressure due to trading above the 50-day SMA, coupled with positive divergence from the Stochastic after reaching oversold levels compared to the stock’s movements.
Therefore we expect the stock to rise as long as it breaches the aforementioned resistance of $24.50, targeting the next one at $26.50.
Today’s price forecast: Bullish
Nevertheless, what happens next will be more revealing. Dynamic support for the intermediate uptrend, beginning from January, is being tested. Gold needs to recover from support around the 50-Day MA if it is to retain the current trajectory. A decline below Tuesday’s low of $3,295 puts it at risk of dropping below an interim swing low at $3,293, which is part of the near-term uptrend that began following a test of support at the 50-Day MA. Other lower price levels that subsequently could see signs of support include the intersection of an uptrend and downtrend line (blue) around $3,272. There is also a top rising trend channel line (purple) crossing at the same point. Then, a little lower is a prior interim swing low at $3,245.
The purple rising channel represents the upswing that began from the October 2023 lows. A decisive bull breakout of the channel triggered on April 10, followed by a retracement that successfully tested the price area around the line as support. The current pullback is a second test of support near the top purple channel line.
It represents a longer trend than a shorter rising trend channel (blue) that began from the January lows. The point of highlighting where the three lines meet is that a decline below $3,272 will mean that both a downtrend line and top channel line have been broken. If price then stays below that price level, it will confirm the bearish sentiment.
Alternatively, support around the 50-Day MA holds and leads to a bullish reversal. An early sign of strength would be seen on a rally above today’s high, however, that would not be convincing enough to confirm a bullish reversal. Rather, a decisive rally above Tuesday’s high of $3,370 would be needed.

On a weekly basis, this week’s decline put the price of natural gas at a four-week low, confirming a bearish reversal following last week’s trend high of $4.15. The decline below the lower uptrend line shows the potential for a bearish continuation as the current uptrend shows early signs of possible failure. However, there is also a good chance that support will be seen around the 200-Day MA and lead to a bullish reversal. Today is the fourth consecutive day of declines and bearish momentum started near last week’s high. So, there is a chance that selling momentum will decline. Although there is no sign of it yet.
It is also interesting to note that the prior bearish correction that followed the initial rally from the April swing low saw the price of natural gas decline by $0.74 (or 19.3%). That puts the current decline close to a match as it has led to a drop of as much as $0.78 (or 18.9%). When comparing price, the current decline exceeded the previous decline, but natural gas is now very close to matching on a percentage basis. Once there are similar swings, there is the potential for support to be seen.
Since there are only two more trading days for the week, there is a risk that natural gas confirms the recent bearish signals on a weekly basis. As noted above, support for the past several weeks was broken this week. The lower and therefore more significant weekly low was at $3.45, while last week’s low was $3.63.

Spot Gold spent Wednesday stuck around the $3,320 mark, with financial markets lacking a fresh catalyst. The XAU/USD managed to advance during the American session amid broad US Dollar weakness, but held within familiar levels ahead of the Asian opening.
Investors maintain their optimism as the Middle East ceasefire seems to be holding. Easing tensions, however, do not mean the conflict is over. According to some leaked documents, recent attacks on the Iranian nuclear program just delayed Iran’s plans by a few months. Israel, on the contrary, believes the setback reached many years.
United States (US) President Donald Trump, in the meantime, noted that the country’s nuclear capabilities have been “obliterated,” according to Reuters. At the same time, Tehran’s atomic chief, Mohammad Eslami, said that they would restore their nuclear program.
Beyond geopolitical woes, market players eyed Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell’s testimony on monetary policy. On his second day at Congress, Powell repeated most of what he said on Tuesday, noting that inflation expectations have come down a bit from April, although he is still willing to wait to see the impact of tariffs on prices before acting.
Thursday will bring some relevant US data, as the country releases May Durable Goods Orders and the final estimate of Q1 Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The daily chart for the XAU/USD pair shows it holds at the lower end of Tuesday’s range, although further retreating from its weekly low. The same chart shows technical indicators have turned flat within neutral levels, reflecting the latest bounce rather than suggesting additional gains ahead. The pair would face immediate resistance at around a flat 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA) currently at $3,355.30. Finally, the 100 and 200 SMAs maintain their firm bullish slopes well below the current level, keeping the long-term trend alive.
The 4-hour chart shows XAU/USD keeps finding near-term support at around a directionless 200 SMA, while the 20 and 100 SMAs maintain modest downward slopes above the current level. Technical indicators, in the meantime, have turned flat within negative levels after correcting oversold conditions, suggesting buyers have limited power at the time being.
Support levels: 3,311.90 3,295.45 3,279.20
Resistance levels: 3,355.30 3,374.45 3,389.40
Silver (XAG/USD) reverses course during the American session on Tuesday after spending most of the day drifting lower from an intraday high of $36.20. At the time of writing, the metal is trading near $35.80, slightly above the session low of $35.28, but still down around 0.65% on the day as traders test key trendline support.
Last week, Silver pushed to fresh 13-year highs as investors flocked to the metal for its safe-haven appeal. Strong industrial demand and tightening supply added fuel to the surge. However, the momentum has cooled since then, with the recent dip reflecting healthy profit-taking and reduced liquidity in the market.
From a technical perspective, Silver’s daily chart remains constructive but is flashing early signs of fatigue. Tuesday’s drop pulled XAG/USD back toward its rising trendline support, which has guided the uptrend since mid-April. This trendline, reinforced by the 21-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) near $35.50–$35.60, has repeatedly acted as a springboard for fresh buying.
A decisive daily close below this zone would raise the risk of a deeper correction, potentially exposing the next key support around $34.50 — a former resistance level now expected to act as a solid floor if the pullback deepens.
Momentum indicators highlight this tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has cooled to 56.50, down from recent overbought conditions but still comfortably above the neutral 50 level, suggesting the broader trend retains a bullish bias. Meanwhile, the MACD histogram has shifted marginally negative, indicating a waning upward momentum in the near term. Price action shows repeated long lower wicks on recent candles, underscoring that bulls continue to step in aggressively on dips.
If Silver manages to sustain a bounce from current levels, the rally could regain traction toward $36.50, with a potential extension toward the psychological $37.00 barrier if buying pressure intensifies.
Despite the stability of the GBPAUD price within the main bullish channel’s levels, its repeated fluctuations below the extra resistance at 2.1040 decelerates its bullish attempts, which forces it to provide new sideways fluctuation by its stability near 2.0960, while the unionism of providing positive momentum by the main indicators makes us monitor the price behavior until achieving the required breach, to ease the mission of targeting the positive stations near 2.1090 and 2.1140.
The risk of changing the bullish trend in the current trading by reaching below 2.0870 level and providing negative close, which increase the chances for forming new bearish correctional trading, which forces it to suffer
The expected trading range for today is between 2.9030 and 2.1090
Trend forecast: Bullish
Copper price failed to breach the $4,8900 level, which represents an extra obstacle against the attempts to resume the bullish attack, forcing it to provide sideways fluctuation near $4.8600, attempting to gather the required positive momentum.
Therefore, we will keep waiting for achieving the required breach, to open the way towards recording more of the gains that begin at $5.0300 and $5.1300, while the failure to breach might increase the chances of forming a temporary negative rebound, to expect targeting $4.7500 level before any attempt to achieve any of the suggested bullish targets.
The expected trading range for today is between $4.8200 and $4.9000
Trend forecast: Sideways until achieving the breach
The Silver price (XAG/USD) posts modest gains near $35.95 during the Asian session on Wednesday. The weaker US Dollar (USD) provides some support to the USD-denominated commodity price. Traders brace for Federal Reserve’s (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell testifies later on Wednesday.
US consumer confidence fell again in June amid uncertainty about US President Donald Trump’s trade policies. Data released by the Conference Board on Tuesday showed that the US Consumer Confidence Index dropped to 93 in June, below the market consensus. The downbeat US economic data drag the US Dollar lower and benefit the Silver price.
On the other hand, the truce between Iran and Israel appeared to hold, with both sides saying they would honor the ceasefire if the other side did the same. Investors expect a truce between both countries will reduce the fears of wider war, which dampens the alternative safe-haven assets like Silver.
Investors will closely monitor the developments surrounding the Israel-Iran conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country would strike again if Iran rebuilds its nuclear project. Any signs of escalation could boost the white metal in the near term.

Gold price is building on its previous rebound early Wednesday, snapping a three-day bearish streak as the US Dollar (USD) rebound fizzles ahead of day 2 of Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s congressional testimony and mid-tier US data.
Gold price is benefiting from a slight negative shift in risk sentiment in Asian trading on Wednesday as traders remain wary about the shaky Iran-Isreal ceasefire.
A renewed US Dollar selling, fuelled by a downtick in the USD/JPY pair following the hawkish commentary from Bank of Japan (BoJ) board member Naoki Tamura and hot Japanese Services Producer Price Index (PPI), also supports the Gold price upswing.
Meanwhile, markets digest the hawkish remarks from Fed Chair Powell delivered during his testimony on the semi-annual Monetary Policy Report before the House Financial Committee on Tuesday.
Powell said he expects policymakers to stay on hold until they have a better handle on the impact tariffs will have on prices, per CNBC News.
“We’re just trying to be careful and cautious,” he added.
The Greenback briefly drew support from Powell’s comments but the Middle East ceasefire optimism boosted risk appetite and drove US stocks higher, diminishing the USD’s appeal as a safe-haven.
Amid hawkish Fed Chair Powell’s comments and the shaky Middle East truce, Gold price tumbled to two-week lows at $3,295 before reversing sharply to settle Tuesday well above the $3,300 level.
The focus now shifts toward the mid-tier US housing data release and Powell’s testimony before the Senate later in the day. Markets will continue to pay close attention to any fresh developments on the Iran-Israel geopolitical front.
The daily chart shows that Gold price has managed to defend the strong support of the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), now at $3,325.
However, the 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) struggles to regain the midline so far, currently trading near 49.
Therefore, it remains to be seen if the bright metal can retain its hold above the 50-day SMA yet again.
A failure to resist above the 50-day SMA on a daily closing basis will retest the 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement (Fibo) level of the April record rally at $3,297.
A sustained break of the latter could trigger a fresh downtrend toward the $3,250 psychological barrier, below which the 50% Fibo level at $3,232 will come into play.
On the other hand, recapturing the 21-day SMA at $3,352 is critical for a sustained recovery from two-week troughs.
The next upside hurdle is aligned at the 23.6% Fibo level at $3,377.
Gold buyers will then target the $3,400 threshold once the 23.6% Fibo resistance is decisively taken out.
Gold has played a key role in human’s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn’t rely on any specific issuer or government.
Central banks are the biggest Gold holders. In their aim to support their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy Gold to improve the perceived strength of the economy and the currency. High Gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country’s solvency. Central banks added 1,136 tonnes of Gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the highest yearly purchase since records began. Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves.
Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal.
The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.
