Gold and Silver Slide as Dollar Strengthens Further

Market Analysis

GOLD

Gold prices have moved lower, in line with expectations. While 3168.66 holds as effective support, market sentiment continues to favor the downside. Both the MACD and RSI indicate strong selling momentum, with little sign of reversal. Given this setup, we continue to look for more selling opportunities, especially if support levels begin to weaken.

SILVER

Silver has also declined, with the MACD and RSI confirming the strength of the current downtrend. If prices break below the lower consolidation boundary, we could see a further crash. Otherwise, prices may remain range-bound for now. Short bias holds unless consolidation persists.

DXY (U.S. Dollar Index)

The dollar is now testing the EMA200, and near-term technicals suggest continued bullish momentum. Despite ongoing discussions that the U.S. administration may tolerate a weaker dollar long-term, in the short term, upward movement remains likely. The MACD is regaining bullish volume, while the RSI has normalized after briefly touching overbought levels, confirming a resilient uptrend.

GBP/USD

The Pound remains in consolidation, retracing back inside the range after a false breakout above the EMA200. The MACD and RSI show rising bearish momentum, suggesting the possibility of further downside. That said, we await a clear directional break before committing to a new position. Bias leans bearish for now.

AUD/USD

The Aussie dollar is also stuck in consolidation, reacting to broader dollar strength. However, technicals suggest a bearish lean, with the MACD continuing to signal downside and the RSI approaching overbought territory, potentially setting up for a pullback. We expect further downside if price structure fails to shift upward.

NZD/USD

The Kiwi has seen a sharp rejection from recent highs, invalidating the previous breakout attempt. If current price action persists, this could mark a return to bearish structure. The MACD and RSI both reflect rising bearish momentum and volume. We await a confirmed break of support before reassessing the trade setup.

EUR/USD

Euro prices remain bearish overall, despite a recent uptick. The MACD indicates potential for renewed selling, although the RSI is showing short-term bullish momentum, nearing overbought levels. This suggests a potential pullback before a continuation lower. We stay cautious and await further confirmation.

USD/JPY

The Yen is pulling back as it approaches the EMA200, a move well within expectations. The MACD and RSI show increased bearish momentum, indicating potential for more downside. However, we remain bullish in the broader structure, viewing this move as a correction within an uptrend.

USD/CHF

The Franc is finding renewed buying strength after bouncing from the EMA200. Both the MACD and RSI are gaining bullish traction, signaling a possible continuation higher. Overall, the bullish structure remains intact, and we maintain a positive outlook.

USD/CAD

The CAD is exhibiting strong bullish momentum, supported by both the MACD and RSI, which show increasing buying volume and strength. Price continues to respect the bullish structure, and we expect further upside in the near term.

The continued strength of the U.S. dollar is putting pressure on metals and commodity currencies alike. With gold and silver slipping further, and most major currency pairs aligning with bearish setups, short-term volatility favors a USD-dominant narrative.

Keep a close eye on support zones for gold and silver, and confirmation of breakouts or breakdowns in pairs like AUD/USD and NZD/USD. As momentum picks up across the board, strategic entries will be key in the days ahead.
