Chart alert: Nikkei 225 bullish run is facing minor exhaustion below 64,145

The Nikkei 225 rallied to a fresh all-time high of 63,788 after a powerful technology-led surge driven by SoftBank Group and Murata Manufacturing. However, technical indicators now signal growing exhaustion risks beneath the 64,145 resistance level. A developing bearish Head & Shoulders formation, combined with RSI bearish divergence and Elliott Wave analysis, suggests the Japanese benchmark may enter a short-term corrective pullback despite its broader medium-term bullish trend remaining intact

The Nasdaq 100, S&P 500, Nikkei 225, and KOSPI extended gains while semiconductor shares and AI infrastructure themes remained key drivers. Meanwhile, rising oil prices and stronger inflation expectations lifted Treasury yields and reinforced a hawkish Federal Reserve outlook ahead of the crucial US CPI report.

Silver Price Analysis: XAG/USD moves away from over two-month low, not out of the woods yet

Silver stages a goodish recovery from over a two-month low touched on Monday. The setup favours bears and supports prospects for the emergence of fresh selling. A sustained strength beyond the $23.00 mark is needed to negate the negative bias.

Silver (XAG/USD) attracts some buyers on Tuesday and for now, seems to have snapped a two-day losing streak to sub-$22.00 levels, or its lowest level since November 13 touched the previous day. The white metal sticks to its intraday gains through the first half of the European session and currently trades around the $22.30-$22.35 region, up over 1% for the day.

From a technical perspective, the recent repeated failures near the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) resistance, which coincided with a downward sloping trend-line extending from the December swing high, favours bearish traders. Moreover, oscillators on the daily chart are holding deep in the negative territory and are still far from being in the oversold zone. This, in turn, suggests that the path of least resistance for the XAG/USD is to the downside.

Hence, any subsequent move up might still be seen as a selling opportunity and runs the risk of fizzling out rather quickly near the $22.70-$22.75 region. This is followed by the $23.00 round-figure mark, which should now act as a pivotal point. A sustained strength beyond the latter might trigger a short-covering rally and lift the XAG/USD beyond the $23.20-$23.25 intermediate hurdle, towards retesting the 200-day SMA barrier, currently pegged near mid-$23.00s.

Some follow-through buying will suggest that the white metal has formed a near-term bottom and shift the bias in favour of bullish traders. The subsequent move up might then allow the XAG/USD to reclaim the $24.00 round figure and climb further towards the next relevant resistance around the $24.40-$24.50 region.

On the flip side, bearish traders need to wait for acceptance below the $22.00 mark. The XAG/USD might then turn vulnerable to test the $21.40-$21.35 intermediate support before eventually dropping to the $21.00 round figure. The downward trajectory could extend further towards challenging the October monthly swing low, around the $20.70-$20.65 region.
