UnitedHealth (UNH) Share Price Rebounds
A month ago, in our analysis of the UNH chart, we:
→ highlighted that UnitedHealth shares had lost nearly 23% in value;
→ drew a descending channel and suggested that bearish pressure could continue, threatening the support level around $450, which had held since early 2022.
Since then, UNH’s stock price decisively broke below that level (as marked by the arrow), falling to around $250 — its lowest point since spring 2020 — before staging a sharp rebound. This steep price movement was driven by a series of fundamental developments, including:
→ the resignation of the CEO and news of a Department of Justice investigation into potential Medicare fraud;
→ UnitedHealth withdrawing its earnings guidance for the coming year;
→ political debates over the Medicaid programme as part of the 2025 budget negotiations;
→ President Trump’s directive to cut prescription drug prices.
Recent news that the new CEO and several top executives have bought tens of millions of dollars’ worth of UNH shares appears to have renewed investor confidence — the share price rose above the $300 mark yesterday.
Technical Analysis of UNH Share Chart
These latest developments justify an update to the descending channel configuration. Of particular note is the gradual decline with limited volatility — a sign that the price is moving along the channel's median line (highlighted on the chart).
In this setup:
→ the bounce from the $250 level points to the lower boundary of the channel;
→ traders may consider a scenario where the current recovery pushes UnitedHealth stock towards the median, after which supply pressure may return and offset the recent dominance of demand.
It’s also possible that the key psychological level of $300 could now act as support.

Oil Prices Surge Amid Threat of Strike on Iran
As shown on today’s XBR/USD chart, Brent crude oil prices have jumped (as indicated by the arrow) to a one-week high. This surge follows U.S. intelligence reports suggesting that Israel may be preparing to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Although CNN, citing officials, noted that it remains unclear whether Israeli leaders have made a final decision, oil prices are rising as markets price in the risk of escalation disrupting Middle Eastern oil supply chains:
→ Iran is the third-largest oil producer within OPEC.
→ There is concern that Iran could retaliate by blocking the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf — a key shipping route used by Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and others to export oil products.
Technical Analysis of XBR/USD
Brent crude oil price has climbed towards the descending trendline (marked in black), drawn through key highs from April and mid-May. From a bearish perspective, this key resistance could trigger a downward pullback.
On the other hand, recent price action in Brent suggests upward momentum (indicated by blue lines), with the $65.20 level — previously a cap — potentially turning into support after a breakout.
Whether the black resistance line is broken will largely depend on geopolitical developments. It is possible that reports of an imminent missile strike on Iran may later be refuted.

Tesla (TSLA) Shares Rebound on Musk’s Comments
According to media reports, speaking via video link at the Qatar Economic Forum, Elon Musk stated that he plans to:
→ remain Tesla’s CEO for another five years;
→ reduce his focus on politics, saying he feels he has already done enough;
→ increase his stake in the company from 12.5% to 25%.
These comments, which came alongside news that Tesla will begin testing robotaxis in Texas in June, sparked renewed interest in Tesla (TSLA) shares. TSLA stock outperformed other MAG7 members, climbing above the $353 mark at yesterday’s peak — its highest level since late February 2025.
Just ten days ago, when the price was still below the psychological $300 level, we highlighted TSLA’s strength following its rebound from the $220 support area and suggested a bullish outlook. But is the picture still as optimistic today?
Technical Analysis of TSLA Chart
The chart shows that TSLA is trading within an ascending channel (highlighted in blue), with the price currently near the upper boundary — an area that often acts as resistance. Price action supports this: note the two large candlesticks with closes near their lows (indicated by arrows), suggesting strong bearish pressure.
This gives reason to believe that sellers may take advantage of the roughly 22% rise in the TSLA stock price to lock in profits — a potentially bearish signal. Traders should therefore consider a correction scenario in which the local support at point Q could be tested for resilience.

#stockmarket #stocktrading #AAPL #MarketUpdates
Apple (AAPL) share price slips towards psychological $200 level
Yesterday, Apple shares (AAPL) fell by 2.5%, edging closer to the key psychological threshold of $200. Moreover, the stock is underperforming the broader market, which reached new highs earlier this week — a move AAPL has yet to replicate.
Why is AAPL’s stock price declining?
According to media reports, investors may have grown concerned after OpenAI acquired a startup founded by Jony Ive, Apple’s former chief designer, for $6.5 billion.
The move is being interpreted as OpenAI’s first step toward launching a physical AI-powered device — one that could, eventually, pose a challenge to Apple’s hardware, even if not in the near term.
Technical analysis of the AAPL chart
Bulls may be hoping the AAPL price finds support at the confluence of two key levels:
→ the psychological $200 mark;
→ support from the second half of May (the lower blue trendline).
However, the broader technical context raises some bearish concerns:
→ the $215–222 zone, which previously acted as support, is now capping price advances (as highlighted by the arrows);
→ the red descending channel appears to define the current trend trajectory — and its relevance may be reinforced if the price drops and consolidates near its median line, signalling a balance between buying and selling pressure.

USD/CAD Rate Drops Towards Yearly Lows
The USD/CAD chart is currently showing clear signs of a bearish trend, characterised by a sequence of lower highs and lower lows (A→B→C→D→E→F→G).
This week’s decline suggests the downward structure may continue to develop, putting the current yearly low around the 1.3770 level at risk.
Why Is USD/CAD Falling?
On one hand, the US dollar remains under pressure:
→ Following last week’s downgrade of US debt ratings by Moody’s, investor attention has shifted to the country’s $36 trillion debt burden.
→ A tax bill backed by Donald Trump — recently passed in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives — could add trillions more to the national debt. Market participants may be increasingly concerned about the US’s fiscal outlook, prompting a shift towards safe-haven assets.
On the other hand, the Canadian dollar has strengthened this week relative to other major currencies. Tuesday’s CPI figures from Canada came in above analysts’ expectations and may be seen as a sign that the inflation surge could delay any potential rate cuts by the Bank of Canada.
USD/CAD Technical Analysis
In early May, we outlined a descending channel on the USD/CAD chart — a structure that remains relevant today.
The current price is hovering near the channel’s median line, which could indicate a temporary balance between supply and demand. However, with Canadian retail sales data due at 15:30 GMT+3 today, the risk of increased volatility remains high. A new weekly low cannot be ruled out.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR) Shares Pull Back from Another High
Shares in Palantir Technologies (PLTR), a company specialising in big data analytics software, have seen phenomenal growth in 2024, surging by approximately 340%, making it the top performer in the S&P 500 (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen). This exceptional performance was driven by booming demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies, which underpin Palantir’s products. The company has demonstrated steady growth in revenue and profitability, attracting major new clients across both the commercial and government sectors.
In 2025, PLTR remains among the market leaders, with its share price up roughly 60% year-to-date. In mid-May, it hit a fresh record high on the back of a strong fundamental backdrop. That backdrop was bolstered yesterday by news that the Pentagon had increased funding for its Maven Smart System programme — which involves deploying AI on the battlefield — to $1.3 billion through to 2029.
However, this news did not result in a new high. In fact, this week, PLTR stock have underperformed the broader stock market — and this may be explained by technical analysis.
Technical Analysis of the PLTR Chart
The interplay of supply and demand in 2025 has formed a broad ascending channel, characterised by:
→ The price breaking above the upper boundary in February following a strong earnings report, and dipping below the lower boundary in response to Donald Trump’s announcement of new international trade tariffs.
→ In mid-May (as shown by the arrow), the median line acted as support. However, after reaching the upper boundary, bullish momentum faded. As a result, the PLTR price has failed to hold recent highs and has fallen back below $130 — with market participants seemingly viewing the stock as overvalued, evidenced by false breakouts above previous peaks.
Given the above, it is reasonable to assume that PLTR may undergo a deeper pullback — potentially towards the median of the channel or even its lower boundary.

EUR/USD Hits Key Resistance Level EUR/USD Hits Key Resistance Level
Although financial markets in both the US and the UK are closed for a public holiday today, Donald Trump is keeping traders on their toes. According to a fresh Reuters report, the US President has backed down from his threat to impose 50% tariffs on EU goods from 1 June, following a phone call from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who urged him to allow time to “reach a mutually beneficial deal”.
This development has boosted the euro while weighing on the US dollar.
As today's EUR/USD chart shows, the euro has risen to its highest level against the dollar since early May. But can the upward trend continue?
EUR/USD Technical Analysis
The ascending trend channel (highlighted in blue) confirms that bullish sentiment currently dominates. However, the EUR/USD chart also presents two bearish arguments worth noting:
→ The price has reached the upper boundary of the channel, which may act as resistance.
→ The 1.1400 level could also serve as resistance. Note how aggressively bears resisted upward movement in April: even when it appeared that the level had been clearly broken from below, the price failed to hold above it for long.
Given this, it is reasonable to suggest that EUR/USD bears may once again become active — particularly if the fundamental backdrop supports them.

DAX Stock Index Rises Over 20% Year-to-Date
The German DAX 40 index (Germany 40 mini on FXOpen) is showing significantly stronger performance than other major global stock indices as of the end of May. For comparison, since the beginning of 2025:
→ The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 has remained largely flat;
→ The S&P 500 is down by 1%;
→ Japan’s Nikkei 225 has fallen by approximately 4.5%.
Why Is Germany’s Stock Index Climbing?
The rally may be driven by a combination of factors, including:
→ An ambitious fiscal stimulus programme launched by the German government, featuring substantial public investment in defence and infrastructure development.
→ A dovish monetary policy stance from the European Central Bank (ECB) amid slowing inflation. Expectations of further interest rate cuts in 2025 have made equities more attractive than bonds, drawing capital into the stock market.
Technical Analysis of the DAX 40 Chart (Germany 40 mini on FXOpen)
These fundamental drivers have supported the formation of an upward trend channel (marked in blue), with the median line acting as a key area of support.
The DAX stock index experienced a sharp drop on Friday (highlighted by the arrow) after the US President unexpectedly announced 50% tariffs on EU imports, citing slow progress in trade negotiations. On Sunday, however, Trump postponed the tariffs until 9 July following a “constructive conversation” with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Since then, the price has:
→ Rebounded from the lower boundary of the channel, which is reinforced by support at the 23,350.0 level;
→ Approached the 24,100 level — a strong resistance zone this month.
Given the uncertainty sparked by Trump’s impulsive policy shifts, investors may be shifting capital from US to European markets, further supporting the DAX 40’s position as a leader among global stock indices.

→ Approached the 24,100 level — a strong resistance zone this month.
Given the uncertainty sparked by Trump’s impulsive policy shifts, investors may be shifting capital from US to European markets, further supporting the DAX 40’s position as a leader among global stock indices.

What’s Happening with Nvidia (NVDA) Ahead of Earnings?
After an extended weekend due to Veterans Day in the US (observed on Monday), financial markets are returning to active trading. The highlight of the week will be Nvidia’s (NVDA) earnings report, scheduled for Wednesday after the close of the main trading session.
What You Need to Know Ahead of Nvidia’s Earnings
According to media reports, market participants are concerned about:
→ escalating trade tensions between the US and China;
→ increasing competition;
→ Nvidia’s premium pricing at a time when the GPU market is shifting towards more affordable alternatives;
→ downward revisions to earnings per share, which some interpret as a sign that Nvidia’s report may fall short of expectations.
On the other hand, Reuters reports that Nvidia is set to unveil a new processor that:
→ is designed specifically for AI applications;
→ is based on the Blackwell architecture;
→ will not be subject to US export restrictions on chips sent to China;
→ is expected to be cost-effective.
Technical Analysis of Nvidia (NVDA) Stock
Today’s NVDA price chart suggests that the descending channel (marked in red) may be forming a large bullish flag — a continuation pattern that typically indicates a potential resumption of the uptrend after a corrective phase.
Price action in Nvidia stock has slowed near the upper boundary of the channel — a sign of temporary equilibrium between supply and demand (this could also be interpreted as traders adopting a wait-and-see stance ahead of the earnings release).
Given that the earnings report is a potentially strong price catalyst, a breakout from the bullish flag cannot be ruled out. Such a move could signal the start of a new phase in NVDA’s long-term upward trend (as indicated by the arrow on the chart).

#USDJPY #forextrading #tradingtips #MarketTrends
Analysing the Volatility Spike on the USD/JPY Chart
The USD/JPY chart offers plenty of noteworthy insights for analysis:
→ A one-month low was recorded today (marked by the arrow);
→ This was followed by a sharp upward reversal, with a series of large bullish candlesticks forming on the intraday chart.
Why Is USD/JPY Moving Sharply Today?
The primary driver appears to be recent statements from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda.
According to Trading Economics, this morning Ueda:
→ warned of rising core inflation risks linked to increasing food prices;
→ indicated that the Bank of Japan is prepared to adjust its monetary policy in order to achieve a stable inflation target.
Latest data show that Japan’s core inflation unexpectedly rose to 3.5% — the highest level in two years — reinforcing the case for further rate hikes. However, what's particularly striking is that despite Ueda’s hawkish tone, the yen is weakening.
Technical Analysis of the USD/JPY Chart
Yen fluctuations formed a downward trajectory (marked in orange) in the second half of May, partly driven by US dollar weakness. Following a period of relative calm, the market has shifted into high gear — the ATR indicator is climbing sharply from multi-month lows, breaking through resistance at the 143.0 level.
This aggressive price action on the USD/JPY chart today suggests we may be witnessing an attempted bullish breakout from the channel. In light of this, it is possible that the surge in volatility reflects a fundamental shift in market sentiment — one that could potentially lead to the development of an upward trend.

DELL Stock Price Analysis Ahead of Earnings Release
In addition to Nvidia’s (NVDA) quarterly report, this week financial market participants are also closely watching Dell Technologies’ (DELL) earnings release, scheduled for Thursday, 29 May, after the close of the trading session.
According to analysts cited by the media:
→ the company’s revenue is expected to come in at $23.18 billion (compared to $22.24 billion in the same period last year, and $23.9 billion in the previous quarter);
→ particular attention will be paid to Dell’s business segment focused on manufacturing servers for AI applications.
Notably, DELL’s price chart shares several similarities with the NVDA chart we analysed yesterday.
Technical Analysis of DELL’s Share Price
Price movements have formed a downward channel (shown in red) that has remained valid since 2024. In a broader context, it resembles a bullish flag pattern, which typically signals the potential continuation of an uptrend — a scenario that seems increasingly likely given the following:
→ the DELL’s price is currently near the upper boundary of the channel;
→ the May price rally suggests strong demand for DELL shares. Note the confident breakout above the psychologically significant $100 level (highlighted by the arrow), accompanied by a bullish gap and a series of rising candlesticks.
It is possible that the upcoming earnings report will act as a catalyst, enabling the bulls to gather momentum and attempt a breakout from the prevailing downward channel.

#GBPUSD #forextrading #tradingtips #marketanalysis
GBP/USD Analysis: Price Searching for Support
In the second half of May, the British pound showed notable strength: from its 12 May low, GBP/USD climbed to a peak on 26 May — marking its highest level in over three years.
Demand for the pound has been driven by several factors:
→ A surge in inflation. CPI data released last Wednesday came in above expectations. As a result, market participants interpreted this as a reason for the Bank of England to remain cautious about cutting interest rates. Holding rates at elevated levels is generally considered bullish for the pound.
→ The pound’s relative resilience amid trade tensions, particularly following a newly signed agreement with the US, as well as strengthening trade ties between the UK and the EU.
Can the pound continue to rise? The GBP/USD chart offers reasons for doubt.
Technical Analysis of the GBP/USD Chart
Recent price movements have formed an ascending channel (outlined in blue), and earlier this week, demand was so strong that the pair briefly moved above the upper boundary. But what happened next?
That strong buying momentum appears to have faded — resulting in a sequence of lower highs (A→B→C→D), suggesting that the market may be searching for a foothold.
Today’s bounce (highlighted by the arrow) hints that such a foothold may have been found. But how reliable is it? And can the uptrend be resumed?
→ From a bullish perspective: Support may be provided by the lower boundary of the channel, reinforced by the 1.345 level.
→ From a bearish perspective: The 1.352 level is acting as resistance, further strengthened by the median line.
It is possible that the area marked by lower highs (A→B→C→D) could ultimately prove to be an insurmountable barrier for the developing uptrend on the GBP/USD chart.

US Federal Court Rules Trump Tariffs Unconstitutional
According to media reports, the US Court of International Trade has:
▪️declared the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump illegal;
▪️ruled that the President exceeded his authority;
▪️blocked the tariffs, emphasising that under the US Constitution, only Congress has the power to impose tariffs.
The decision was made unanimously by a panel of three judges. Financial markets reacted with:
▪️a rise in US stock indices;
▪️strengthening of the US dollar — most notably seen today on the USD/CHF chart, as demand for so-called safe-haven assets declined in light of the tariff reversal.
Technical Analysis of the USD/CHF Chart
The bullish momentum has broken upward through:
▪️ a local downward trendline (shown in red);
▪️ resistance at the 0.8300 level, near the May 22 high.
Additionally:
▪️the RSI indicator on the 4-hour chart has moved upwards to the overbought territory;
▪️the area highlighted with a purple rectangle resembles a bullish Fair Value Gap.
Could this upward momentum lead to a sustained uptrend? There is reason for doubt.
Consider the steep decline in USD/CHF in early April (driven mainly by the introduction of Trump's tariffs) and the relatively small size of today's bullish candle compared to that prior drop.
Price action seems to suggest that market participants are skeptical about any lasting change in the situation. The Trump administration has already filed an appeal, and it’s possible the White House could succeed in defending its position.

Nvidia (NVDA) Stock Price Rises Over 4% Following Earnings Report
Yesterday, after the main trading session, Nvidia released its quarterly earnings report, which exceeded analysts' expectations:
→ Earnings per share: actual = $0.81, forecast = $0.73
→ Revenue: actual = $44 billion, forecast = $43.3 billion
Additionally, according to media reports, Nvidia issued a strong forecast for the next period, although CEO Jensen Huang noted difficulties in accessing the Chinese market, which he estimates to be worth $50 billion.
Nevertheless, market participants reacted positively. According to Google, in after-hours trading the NVDA stock price rose by more than 4%, surpassing the $140 level.
It is reasonable to assume that this initial positive reaction could continue during today’s main trading session.
Technical Analysis of NVDA Chart
As we mentioned earlier this week, NVDA stock in 2025 has formed a broad descending channel (shown in red), and just before the earnings release, the price was consolidating near the upper boundary of this channel.
We also suggested a scenario in which the bulls might attempt to break through the upper boundary of the channel. Given the positive earnings report and the stock market rally following the Federal Court’s decision declaring Trump tariffs invalid, the likelihood of this scenario increases.
This, in turn, means that:
→ the upper boundary of the channel, once broken, may act as support;
→ we may once again see the key psychological resistance level of $150 come into play — a level we have highlighted multiple times before.

XAU/USD Chart Analysis: Gold Price Stabilises Around $3,300
Throughout May, a turbulent news backdrop — involving both international trade tariffs and armed conflicts — led to the formation of a peak around $3,430 and a low near $3,130 on the XAU/USD chart. As of today, the price per ounce stands around $3,300 — roughly the same level as at the beginning of the month.
This suggests that supply and demand forces are largely balanced, keeping the price contained between these extremes. The XAU/USD chart provides further confirmation, emphasising the significance of the $3,300 level.
Technical Analysis of the XAU/USD Chart
From a bearish perspective: The A→B→C→D→E sequence forms lower highs and lower lows — a clear sign of a downtrend. This trajectory is marked in red, with the upper line acting as resistance.
From a bullish perspective: Since the beginning of 2025, the gold price has been moving in an uptrend,indicated by a blue channel, with its lower boundary serving as key support (highlighted with arrows).
Notably, these support and resistance lines are converging, forming a narrowing triangle — an indication that supply and demand are balancing, finding consensus around the $3,300 level, where the axis of the triangle lies.
Given this, it is reasonable to assume that in June, the gold price on the XAU/USD chart may continue to fluctuate within this triangle — unless an extraordinary event causes a significant shift in the current balance.

Musk Steps Away from Politics: What Does It Mean for Tesla (TSLA) Stock?
Yesterday, it was announced that Elon Musk will be stepping down from the Trump administration as his term as head of DOGE—where he focused on reducing government spending—has come to an end.
This decision follows his statement at the economic forum in Qatar, where Musk said he plans to focus less on politics, as he feels he has already done enough in that realm.
What Does This Mean for Tesla (TSLA) Stock?
Musk’s move away from politics is likely a positive signal for investors. Here's why:
→ The company’s CEO can now devote more time to addressing issues such as declining vehicle sales in Europe;
→ Musk’s role at DOGE will no longer pose reputational risks for Tesla.
During yesterday’s main trading session, TSLA stock surged to $367—its highest level since mid-February.
Technical Analysis of TSLA Stock Chart
The price continues to hover near the upper boundary of an ascending channel (marked in blue), which could pose a challenge for further upward movement.
Additionally, the price has entered the $355–$375 range—a zone that previously triggered significant reversals (as indicated by arrows). Notably, there was a sharp decline from this zone between February 21–26. From a bearish standpoint, this area could act as resistance, and the candle’s close near its low yesterday supports this view.
From a bullish perspective, the fundamental outlook may still provide upward momentum:
→ A joint press conference with Trump and Musk is scheduled for today;
→ In early June, Tesla is expected to begin testing its autonomous taxis.
So, while a continued uptrend is possible, a short-term correction would seem reasonable after TSLA’s nearly 27% surge throughout May.

→ AVGO's closing price on 30th April was $192.42
→ The closing price on 30th May was $241.59
The 25% increase in Broadcom (AVGO) stock price made it one of the leaders in the market. For comparison, the S&P 500 index (US SPX 500 mini on FXOpen) rose just over 6%.
Why is the AVGO stock price rising?
Among the bullish factors contributing to the growth of Broadcom (AVGO) stocks in May were:
→ Growing demand for AI infrastructure. This stimulates demand for Broadcom’s products—such as high-performance networking chips, which are critical for building and scaling data centres for AI.
→ Positive news related to the successful integration of the previously acquired company VMware into Broadcom's business.
→ Optimism ahead of Broadcom’s quarterly earnings report, scheduled for 5th June.
Technical Analysis of AVGO Stock Chart
Price movements in May formed an ascending channel (shown in blue).
From a bearish perspective: AVGO stock has risen to the psychological level of $250, which has acted as resistance since December 2024. Additionally, the strong rally in May may motivate some investors to sell previously purchased shares to lock in potential profits.
From a bullish perspective:
→ The price is in the upper half of the channel, which confirms strong demand.
→ A bullish gap highlighted a buyer-favoured imbalance around the $215 level.
Technically, it would be reasonable to expect a corrective move from the $250 resistance deeper into the ascending channel. However, considering the upcoming earnings report—which often triggers volatility—the bulls could attempt to break through the $250 level and set a new all-time high.

EUR/USD Rises to 4-Week High
As shown on the EUR/USD chart today, the euro rose to a 4-week high against the US dollar this morning.
The euro's strength relative to the US dollar is supported by traders’ expectations ahead of the ECB's interest rate decision, scheduled for Thursday at 15:15 GMT+3.
This upcoming event is notable not only because the ECB is expected to cut rates from 2.40% to 2.15% (for the seventh consecutive time), but also due to the broader context shaped by ECB President Christine Lagarde’s recent remarks on the euro’s status as a reserve currency.
At the same time, the US dollar is weakening amid growing trade concerns—on Friday, the US President Donald Trump announced plans to double tariffs on steel and aluminum to 50%. He also accused China of breaching the recent trade truce.
Technical Analysis of the EUR/USD Chart
Seven days ago, when analysing the EUR/USD chart, we:
→ observed bullish sentiment;
→ highlighted the importance of the 1.1400 resistance level;
→ suggested that bears might attempt to strike back.
Since then, the price has pulled back from the mentioned level (as indicated by the arrow), but found support at the lower boundary of the ascending channel. The current bullish momentum could push EUR/USD towards the psychological level of 1.1500 during the week ahead.

Silver Price Hits Year-to-Date High
As shown on the XAG/USD chart, silver prices rose on Monday, surpassing the previous high of the year, which was set on 28th March at around $33.50 per ounce.
Why Is Silver Rising?
A bullish driver came from statements made by the White House. According to media reports:
→ US President Donald Trump announced on Friday evening plans to double tariffs on steel and aluminium imports to 50%, starting 4th June. This intervention in the global metals market may have also impacted silver prices, given silver’s significant industrial value.
→ Trump's claims that China violated the trade agreement reached in Geneva last month further cast doubt on the prospects of a phone call between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Technical Analysis of the XAG/USD Chart
Today’s bearish candlestick (marked with a red arrow) indicates that sellers are becoming active, willing to open short positions near the 2025 high. From a technical analysis perspective, there are signs of:
→ a bearish engulfing candlestick pattern forming;
→ a false breakout above the March high (trapping bullish traders).
However, the bulls may attempt to keep the price in the upper half of the emerging ascending channel (shown in blue), relying on support from the former resistance level at $33.67.
