Silver continues its attempts to settle above the 50 EMA.
Silver is trying to settle above the resistance at the 50 EMA at $24.10 after it made an attempt to settle below the 20 EMA at $23.90 while the U.S. dollar is trying to rebound against a broad basket of currencies.
The U.S. Dollar Index gained upside momentum and made an attempt to settle above the nearest resistance at 91. The main driver for this move was the weakness of GBP/USD which found itself under pressure on fears about a no-deal Brexit. If the U.S. Dollar Index settles above 91, it will head towards 91.50 which may put additional pressure on silver.
Gold continues to trade near the resistance level at the 20 EMA at $1840. If gold manages to settle above this level, it will gain upside momentum and head towards the next resistance at the 50 EMA at $1870 which will be bullish for silver and other precious metals.
