Silver price erased its earlier losses that dragged the white metal towards testing February 2 highs at $24.63 per ounce and rallied back above the $25.00 psychological figure. Although the US Dollar (USD) remained underpinned by high US Treasury bond yields, the XAG/USD is trading at $25.25, about to finish Wednesday’s session with gains of 0.28%.

XAG/USD Price Action

Since hitting YTD high at 26.08, the XAG/USD dropped sharply due to the overbought Relative Strength Index (RSI). Therefore, traders moved quickly to book profits, weakening Silver, which tumbled more than 5%. However, as oscillators turned neutral, the XAG/USD bottomed around $24.61, some 20-pips above the 20-day EMA.

For a bullish continuation, the XAG/USD must crack Wednesday’s high at $25.36. Once cleared, the XAG/USD next stop will be the April 17 daily high at $25.60 before posing a threat to $26.00, ahead of the YTD high at $26.08.

Conversely, the XAG/USD first support would be the psychological $25.00 level. A breakout to the downside will expose the 20-day EMA At $24.46, followed by a previously broken resistance-turned-support level at $24.20, as sellers brace towards $24,00. Once cleared, sellers will eye a test of the 50-day EMA at $23.45.

EUR/USD remains below 1.1850 after US data

EUR/USD struggles to gain traction and trades in a narrow range below 1.1850 on Wednesday. The US Dollar stays resilient against its rivals following the better-than-expected Durable Goods Orders and housing data, limiting the pair's upside ahead of FOMC Minutes.

GBP/USD flirts with daily highs near 1.3580

GBP/USD manages to set aside two consecutive daily declines and trades with slight gains in the 1.3580 zone on Wednesday. Cable’s uptick comes despite acceptable gains in the Greenback and easing UK inflation figures, which seem to have reinforced the case for a BoE rate cut in March.

Gold regains some shine, retargets $5,000 ahead of FOMC Minutes

Gold gathers fresh upside traction on Wednesday, leaving part of the weakness seen at the beginning of the week and refocusing its attention to the key $5,000 mark per troy ounce, all ahead of the release of the FOMC Minutes and despite the modest uptick in the US Dollar.

Pi Network rally defies market pressure ahead of its first anniversary

Pi Network is trading above $0.1900 at press time on Wednesday, extending the weekly gains by nearly 8% so far. The steady recovery is supported by a short-term pause in mainnet migration, which reduces pressure on the PI token supply for Centralized Exchanges. The technical outlook focuses on the $0.1919 resistance as bullish momentum increases.

Mixed UK inflation data no gamechanger for the Bank of England

Food inflation plunged in January, but service sector price pressure is proving stickier. We continue to expect Bank of England rate cuts in March and June. The latest UK inflation read is a mixed bag for the Bank of England, but we doubt it drastically changes the odds of a March rate cut.

Top 3 Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple face downside risk as bears regain control
