In this article:

Silver Is Losing Ground While Gold Remains Stuck Between 20 EMA And 50 EMA

Silver is currently trying to settle below the support level at $23.50 while the U.S. dollar is mostly flat against a broad basket of currencies.

The U.S. Dollar Index is stuck near the resistance level at 93.10. If the U.S. Dollar Index manages to settle above 93.10, it will gain upside momentum and move towards yearly highs near 93.40 which will be bearish for silver and gold price today. Strong dollar is bearish for precious metals as it makes them more expensive for buyers who have other currencies.

Meanwhile, gold  is trading in the range between the 20 EMA at $1785 and the 50 EMA near $1800. In case gold declines below the 20 EMA, it will get to the test of the support at $1775 which will be bearish for silver.

Gold/silver ratio has recently managed to get above the resistance at 75.65 and is trying to get above the 76 level. If gold/silver ratio gets above this level, it will gain additional upside momentum which will put more pressure on silver.
