Silver Tested Support At $24.00 But Quickly Rebounded

Silver is trying to settle above the resistance at $25.00 after an unsuccessful attempt to get below the support at $24.00 while the U.S. dollar is gaining ground against a broad basket of currencies.

The U.S. Dollar Index gained strong upside momentum and managed to settle above the resistance at 90.70. Currently, the U.S. Dollar Index is testing the next resistance level which is located at the 50 EMA at 90.95. If the U.S. Dollar Index gets above this level, it will head towards the resistance at 91.20 which will be bearish for silver and gold price today. Stronger dollar is a negative catalyst for silver and other precious metals as it makes them more expensive for buyers who have other currencies.

Meanwhile, gold is trying to get back to the $1850 level after an attempt to settle below the support at $1800. If gold manages to settle above $1850, it will move towards the resistance at $1865 which will be bullish for silver.

Gold/silver ratio has recently made an attempt to settle above the resistance at the 50 EMA at 74.30 but failed to gain sufficient upside momentum. If gold/silver ratio settles above the 50 EMA, it will move towards the resistance at 75.50 which will put additional pressure on silver.
