Today’s analysis offers a comprehensive overview of the gold and silver markets, highlighting the key fundamental and technical factors shaping current trends. This report is designed to equip investors with the insights necessary to navigate these markets with confidence and clarity.
Gold briefly dipped below the $3,300 level on Tuesday, as markets responded positively to signs of de-escalation in the Middle East. Risk appetite was further supported by hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire late Monday, and although the truce remains fragile, it has contributed to a more optimistic market tone. In his testimony before Congress, Powell addressed monetary policy, emphasizing the Fed’s concerns about the economic impact of tariffs and warning that inflation is likely to rise as a result.
The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering just above the midline, currently at 49, indicating a mildly bearish bias. Despite holding support around the $3,300 level, gold buyers remain cautiously optimistic, looking for a sustained break above the April rally’s Fibonacci retracement level at $3,372 to regain upward momentum. The next bullish target is seen at $3,400. On the downside, a break below $3,275 could expose the $3,245 support level. The short-term Stochastics Oscillator stands at 25, while the RSI remains near 49.
Silver has been retreating over the past week as traders book profits near the multi-year high of $37.33. From a technical perspective, the metal needs to reclaim and hold above the resistance zone between $36.25 and $36.70 to regain short-term bullish momentum. Meanwhile, the gold/silver ratio remains elevated above 92, though some traders anticipate a move below the 90 mark. The short-term Stochastics Oscillator stands at 56, while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently at 57, suggesting moderate bullish conditions.
