Silver price prediction: XAG/USD holds EMA support as rate cut bets ease — Silver eased to $52.7

Silver price stabilized on Friday after a sharp reversal the previous day ended its six-day winning streak. The metal had rallied strongly since the beginning of November, retesting its all-time high at $54.4 before losing steam on Thursday. The inability to break through that level triggered a 2% correction to a close at $52.2, effectively pausing the strong bullish run that had dominated the first half of the month. The decline found support at the 4-hour 20 EMA, which helped to cushion further downside pressure.

- Silver eased to $52.7 after failing to extend its rally above $54.4 resistance.

- Fed officials’ restraint on rate cuts reduced December easing odds to 51% probability.

- Traders watch U.S. economic data to confirm whether silver regains bullish momentum ahead.

The reversal was largely driven by shifting macroeconomic expectations. A growing number of Federal Reserve policymakers have recently expressed restraint on further rate cuts, given the absence of updated economic data during the prolonged government shutdown. This cautious stance prompted traders to reduce their expectations for a December policy easing. According to CME FedWatch Tool, the probability of a quarter-point rate cut fell to 51% from 62.9% a day earlier. The repricing of rate expectations weighed on silver as traders recalibrated exposure to non-yielding assets sensitive to interest rate changes.

Market sentiment was also affected by the resolution of the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. President Donald Trump signed a funding bill into law on Thursday following its passage in the House of Representatives by a 222–209 vote. The reopening of government operations signalled a return to stability in the broader economy, leading investors to rotate out of safe-haven assets such as silver and gold. This shift further contributed to the short-term pullback after silver’s earlier overextended rally.

Silver outlook, tied to upcoming U.S. data and further Fed policy expectations

By Friday’s Asian session, silver recovered slightly, gaining 2.68% to touch $53.55 before momentum began to fade. In the European session, price eased back to $52.7, reducing daily gains to just 1%. The 1-hour 50 EMA currently acts as a stabilizing level, holding the metal above $52.7 and preventing further decline.

Technically, silver now finds itself at a critical juncture. A sustained break above $53.5 could re-establish bullish momentum and set the stage for another retest of the $54.4 all-time high. However, if the current intraday softness continues, the metal could see another bearish close, exposing lower supports around $51.8.

Overall, silver’s near-term direction will depend on how investors interpret the upcoming flow of delayed U.S. economic data. If the data reveals further signs of labor market weakness, expectations for a rate cut could rise again, potentially reviving silver’s bullish momentum and restoring upward pressure in the days ahead.

We discussed how silver gained 2% to $54.40, marking its seventh consecutive day of advance. AI-driven industrial demand and Fed rate cut expectations strengthened its momentum.
