Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD struggles to reclaim ground, and turns bearish below the 200-DMA

Silver price sees a minor gain of 0.50% but fails to reclaim the May 26 daily low, resulting in a bearish outlook.
The technical analysis shows support at the March 21 daily low of $22.14; breaking this could see a drop below the $22.00 figure.
Potential resistance lies at the May 26 low-turned resistance at $22.68, with the 200-day EMA at $22.94 and $23.00 as the next challenges.

Silver price remains firm in the session but could not reclaim the May 26 daily low; previous support turned resistance and also below the 200-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA). Therefore, the XAG/USD turned bearish from a technical perspective. The XAG/USD is trading at $22.32, a gain of 0.50%.

XAG/USD Price Analysis: Technical outlook

Silver is downward biased but must break support at the March 21 daily low of $22.14 on its way toward dropping below the $22.00 figure. Even though the XAG/USD fell to a new three-month high, cheered by sellers, the XAG/USD could remain trading sideways, within the $22.10/$22.69 area without a catalyst.

If XAG/USD slumps below $22.00, the next support will lie at the March 16 low of $21.46 before exposing the $21.00 figure and the November 28 daily low at $20.87. On the flip side, the XAG/USD stays above $22.00. The next resistance would be the May 26 low-turned resistance at $22.68, followed by the 200-day EMA at $22.94 ahead of challenging $23.00.

From an oscillator point of view, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows signs of bearishness, while the three-day Rate of Change (RoC) portrays sellers losing some momentum but remaining in charge.

EUR/USD looks to regain the 200-day SMA

EUR/USD regains some balance and trade just above 1.1600 the figure ahead of the opening bell in Asia. The pair initially dipped to the 1.1530 zone for the first time since November, always following the stronger US Dollar and the marked flight-to-safety in the context of the ongoing Middle East crisis

Gold bounces off lows, back above $5,100

Gold remains on the defensive, eroding part of the recent multi-day advance and managing to trade back above the $5,100 mark per troy ounce on Tuesday. The precious metal initially dropped just below the critical $5,000 threshold on the back of the persistent strength of the Greenback, higher US Treasury yields across the curve and investors' repricing of Fed rate cuts.
