Silver Price (XAG/USD) remains sidelined near $24.70–75 during early Wednesday as bulls jostle with the key upside hurdle ahead of the US data.

It’s worth noting that the nearly overbought RSI joins a 16-week-old falling resistance line surrounding $24.80 to challenge the XAG/USD buyers.

However, the bullish MACD signals a daily closing beyond the four-month-long horizontal resistance zone, now immediate support around $24.50–40, which will test the Silver sellers.

Following that, the 100-DMA support of around $23.95 will precede the 50% and 61.8% Fibonacci retracements of March–May upside, respectively near $23.00 and $22.30, to offer a bumpy ride to the XAG/USD bears.

Meanwhile, a daily closing beyond the aforementioned resistance line of around $24.80 needs support from the US ADP Employment Change, the final readings of the US second quarter (Q2) Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE).

Should the softer US data join the Silver Price upside beyond the immediate resistance line, the bulls can challenge the previous monthly high of around $25.30 ahead of targeting the yearly high marked in May at around $26.15.

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
