Silver Is Under Pressure

Silver is currently trying to settle below the support at $23.20 while the U.S. dollar is flat against a broad basket of currencies.

The U.S. Dollar Index faced resistance at 94.20 and pulled back. Currently, the U.S. Dollar Index is trying to settle below the support at the 94 level. In case this attempt is successful, the U.S. Dollar Index will move towards the 20 EMA at 93.85 which will be bullish for silver and gold price today.

Meanwhile, gold is trying to settle below the 20 EMA at $1770. If gold manages to settle below the 20 EMA, it will move towards the major support level at $1750 which will be bearish for silver.

It should be noted that the yield of 10-year Treasuries has recently managed to get above 1.60% which put some pressure on precious metals. The next resistance level is located at 1.64%. In case the yield of 10-year Treasuries gets to the test of this level, silver will find itself under more pressure.

Gold/silver ratio is testing the resistance at the 50 EMA at the 76 level. If this test is successful, it will gain additional upside momentum and move towards 76.50 which will be bearish for silver.
