• Silver breaks below key support levels, including 50-day SMA at $31.27.
• Daily close below $31.00 may lead to further decline toward 100-day SMA at $30.23.
• Resistance levels to watch: July 11 high at $31.75 and May 20 peak at $32.51.

Silver price slumped sharply on Wednesday after US President Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election. Additionally, the Republican party sweep seems likely as they hold the majority in the Senate, while the House of Representatives is still early to be called. The XAGU/USD trades at $31.16, down over 4.50%.

XAG/USD Price Forecast: Technical outlook

Silver’s price uptrend remains in play, even though Trump’s victory boosted the Greenback. Consequently, the XAG/USD tumbled below key support levels, including the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $31.27, which opened the door to hit a daily low of $30.84.

If XAG/USD achieves a daily close below $31.00, it could trigger a potential slump to the 100-day SMA at $30.23. If surpassed, the next stop would be the $30.00 figure.

On the upside, the next key resistance would be the July 11 high at $31.75. A breach of the latter will expose $32.00, followed by May’s 20 peak at $32.51.

XAU/USD Current price: $2,666.19

• Former President Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election.
• The Federal Reserve will announce its decision on monetary policy on Thursday.
• XAU/USD trades near its daily low, more slides likely despite near-term oversold conditions.

In one of the tight races in the United States (US) history, Donald Trump has been elected the 47th President of the world’s largest economy. Trump will return to the White House in January 2025, pulling off a stunning victory. By the time of writing, Trump has secured 277 electoral votes, more than the 270 needed to take office.

As a result, the US Dollar soared, pushing Gold prices to fresh three-week lows. XAU/USD trades near an intraday low of $2,652.29 in the mid-American session without signs of losing its downward momentum.

But not only the Greenback benefited from Trump’s victory. US indexes also run, reaching record highs, while government bonds plunged, sending Treasury yields to fresh multi-week highs. It is worth noting, however, that the 2-year note offers 4.28%, while the 10-year note yields 4.46%, the latter advancing at a faster pace and keeping the yield curve in the right place.

Excitement is far from over, given that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will announce its decision on monetary policy on Thursday. The Fed is widely anticipated to cut the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points. The focus, however, will be on what Chairman Jerome Powell has to say about Trump’s return as the expected shift in fiscal and financial policies is likely to take its toll on US economic developments.

XAU/USD short-term technical outlook  

From a technical point of view, XAU/USD daily chart shows bearish pressure is in full shape. Technical indicators maintain their downward slopes after crossing their midlines into the negative territory, heading south almost vertically. Even further, the pair broke below a bullish 20 Simple Moving Average (SMA), which now stands at around $2,714. The 100 and 200 SMAs maintain their bullish slopes far below the current level, suggesting there is still a chance for bulls.

The pair seems to have found an intraday bottom, according to the 4-hour chart. XAU/USD plummeted below all its moving averages, with the 20 SMA accelerating its slump above, but still above the 100 and 200 SMAs. As for the longer moving averages, they have lost their upward strength. Technical indicators, in the meantime, have pared their slides but stand within extremely oversold readings.

Resistance levels: 2,686.70 2,698.70 2,714.90

• Silver price plunges below $31.00 as Trump’s victory dampens its safe-haven appeal.
• Higher US Treasury yields and the US Dollar have weighed on the Silver price.
• Investors will focus on the Fed’s commentary to get cues about the impact of Trump’s victory on the interest rate path.

Silver price (XAG/USD) faces a bloodbath on a landslide victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump, is down almost 5% and falls below $31.00 in Wednesday’s North American session. The white metal weakens as investors expect that Trump would effort for a truce between Russia and Ukraine. A ceasefire of more than two Russia-Ukraine wars will improve global market sentiment.

Bloodshed between Russia and Ukraine was one of the reasons behind Silver’s rally, from a low of $18.00 to a more than decade high of around $35.00 in the past two years. Historically, the scenario of geopolitical tensions bodes well for precious metals, such as Silver, as it improves its safe-haven appeal.

Meanwhile, a sheer strength in the US Dollar (USD) and bond yields has also weighed on the Silver. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which gauges Greenback’s value against six major currencies, posts a fresh four-month high of 105.30. 10-year US Treasury yields soar to near 4.45%. Higher yields on interest-bearing assets increase the opportunity cost of holding an investment in non-yielding assets, such as Silver.

Going forward, investors will focus on the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) interest rate decision, which will be announced on Thursday. The Fed is widely anticipated to cut interest rates by 25 basis points (bps) to 4.50%-4.75%, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Investors will focus on the Fed’s comments on the impact of Trump’s victory on the inflation outlook and the interest rate guidance.

Trump vowed to lower corporate taxes and hike import tariffs by 10% universally, except China which is expected to face tariffs even higher.

Silver technical analysis

Silver price extends its downside below $31.00 after sliding below the horizontal support plotted from the May 21 high of $32.50. The near-term trend of the Silver price has turned bearish as it has dropped below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which trades around $31.60.

The asset could find support near the upward-sloping trendline around $29.00, plotted from the February 28 low of $22.30.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) dives to near 40.00. Should RSI (14) fall below 40.00, a bearish momentum will be triggered.

Silver daily chart

Gold (XAU/USD) recently took a sharp dive, trading at $2,711 after a 1% drop, driven by a strong bearish move that sliced through key levels.

Currently, immediate support is at $2,701, with the next support levels seen at $2,692 and $2,684 if the downward momentum persists. Immediate resistance now lies around $2,725, with further barriers at $2,743 and $2,752.

The 50-day EMA sits at $2,740, while the 200-day EMA at $2,742—both above the current price—reinforce the bearish sentiment.

The substantial sell-off, coupled with a bearish engulfing candle, signals potential for further declines. For now, as long as gold remains under $2,725, sellers appear in control, with limited signs of reversal.

• Silver price depreciates as safe-haven metals face challenges over Trump trade rally.
• Early exit polls indicate former President Donald Trump currently holds an edge over Vice President Kamala Harris.
• Improved US Treasury yields contribute to the downward pressure on non-yielding Silver.

Silver price (XAG/USD) struggled to hold onto recent gains, trading around $32.10 per troy ounce during the Asian session on Wednesday. The dollar-denominated precious metal faces downward pressure from a stronger US Dollar (USD), which is likely linked to a rally sparked by the favorable results for the Republican candidate in the US presidential election.

As exit polls begin to show growing support for former President Donald Trump, the likelihood of him becoming the 47th president is increasing. This renewed optimism surrounding the “Trump trade” is lifting market sentiment, creating downward pressure on safe-haven assets like Silver.

Early exit poll results from Wisconsin indicate a lead for Republican candidate Donald Trump, with 56% of the vote compared to 42.5%, based on 7.5% of expected votes counted. In North Carolina, exit polls show a tight race between Trump and Kamala Harris, with 50% of the votes counted. In Michigan, with 12% of votes counted, Harris’ lead has shrunk from 61% to 53%.

Moreover, initial results show Harris leading Trump 61% to 38%, with 46% of the votes tallied in Nebraska’s District 2. Meanwhile, early exit polls from Georgia, one of the first states to report, show a slight edge for Trump. With 16 electoral votes up for grabs, preliminary data suggests Trump holds a 10% lead over Harris, although this is based on less than 1% of votes counted, according to The Washington Post.

Additionally, non-yielding assets like Silver are facing headwinds as US Treasury yields rise, with the 2-year and 10-year US Treasury bond yields at 4.23% and 4.34%, respectively, at the time of writing. Market attention is focused on the balance of power in Congress, as a sweep by either party could bring substantial changes to spending and tax policies, influencing broader market dynamics.

Experts predict that coffee prices will end their decline and rebound on November 6, 11. The depreciation of the USD ahead of the US presidential election will help coffee recover.

At the beginning of the week, experts predicted that many factors would significantly impact coffee prices, including the US presidential election and the Fed’s announcement of an interest rate adjustment.

Bullish Clues

In addition to the bullish key reversal day (open below prior day’s low and close above prior day’s high), the 20-Day MA was successfully tested as support earlier during Monday’s trading session. That was the first test of the line as support since the advance on October 29. Further, notice that support was tested at an initial downtrend line (blue dots) that starts from the 2023 peak and connects with the January swing high from this year. In other words, price levels are being reclaimed and strength is confirmed on a subsequent test of previous resistance as support.

Above 2.92 Triggers Next Breakout

Recent bullish signs point to a potential upside breakout of a large symmetrical triangle pattern in natural gas. An initial upside breakout triggers above the recent high of 2.92. However, a stronger signal would be given on a move above the recent swing high of 3.02, and then above the swing high of 3.16. The first upside target zone following a 3.02 breakout is from 3.35 to 3.45.

That price range begins with an initial target for a near-term rising ABCD pattern (D) in purple. Then, there is a previous swing high where resistance was seen in the past, at 3.39. Finally, the price range ends at 3.45, which is the target from a larger ascending ABCD pattern (orange) that incorporates the August swing low. Since there are several price levels identifying the resistance zone, there is a real potential of it being reached if demand in natural gas continues to strengthen.

Weekly Pause?

On the weekly time frame natural gas is trading inside the price range from last week. It will continue to do so unless there is an upside breakout above last week’s high of 2.92 or a drop below the low of 2.27. Given the relatively large range, it wouldn’t be surprising to see this week complete as an inside week. That would set up a potential inside week breakout for next week.

Closing Above Moving Averages is Bullish

A reclaim of the moving averages is a bullish sign but only if crude can stay above them. Currently, and interestingly, the two moving averages have converged to identify a tight price support area from 71.58 to 71.61. When that happens, a potentially more significant pivot area may be identified. Also, notice that strength was seen recently as the 20-Day line crossed back above the 50-Day line. If the moving averages can continue as support, there is the potential for a continuation upward. However, if the price of crude oil falls below each, it will be a sign of weakening with a daily close below signaling further weakness.

Initial Upside Potential to 70.78

Let’s consider the initial upside if crude can continue to strengthen. A bullish breakout is triggered on a decisive rally above the 73.15 interim swing high and then confirmed with a close above it. That would trigger a bullish reversal in crude that should see prices rise further.

The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement is subsequently at 74.60 and it shows the next higher likely target, at a minimum. That level is also close to potential resistance around the lower boundary line of a large symmetrical triangle consolidation pattern. Nevertheless, if crude can continue to rise from there it has the potential to breakout through the top of the triangle towards 70.78 (D). That price completes an initial target for a rising ABCD pattern that incorporates the most recent swing low of 67.33 (C).
