Silver clings to modest gains of 0.29% and stays above $28.00 for the sixth consecutive trading day amid higher US Treasury bond yields and a strong US Dollar. At the time of writing, the XAG/USD trades at $28.30 after hitting a daily low of $28.14.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

The grey metal continues to hold to the $28.00 threshold, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) continues to edge lower. One could assume that buyers are taking a respite as the RSI edges lower, but it remains above the latest through of 54.00. With that said, Silver remains upward-biased as momentum favors bulls.

If XAG/USD buyers reclaim the May 18, 2021, daily high at $28.75, they could challenge $29.00. A breach of the latter will expose the year-to-date (YTD) high at $29.79 before challenging $30.00.

Otherwise, Silver’s drop below $28.00 would give sellers the upper hand and expose key support levels. Firstly, the April 15 daily low at $27.59, followed by the confluence of the 50% Fibo retracement and the $27.00 figure.

EUR/USD flirts with weekly lows near 1.1770

EUR/USD now comes under further selling pressure, breaking below the 1.1800 support to challenge the area of weekly throughs near 1.1770 on Thursday. The pair’s decline comes in response to marked gains in the US Dollar amid steady geopolitical tensions. Ealier in the day, the ECB’s Lagarde delivered cautious remarks, although the currency remained apathetic.

GBP/USD makes a U-turn, challenges 1.3500

GBP/USD rapidly leaves behind Wednesday’s strong advance, putting the 1.3500 support to the test on Thursday. Cable’s deep pullback follows the strong gains in the Greenback, while investors continue to pencil in a potential BoE rate cut in March.

Gold sticks to the bid bias, flirts with $5,200

Gold is now facing some downside pressure, hovering around the $5,170 region on Thursday. The precious metal adds to Wednesday’s optimism despite the Greenback trades in a firm fashion, although geopolitical tensions in the Middle East keep the yellow metal bid for now.
