Brent, H4:                                                               

Brent Crude has been trading within a tight consolidation range near $84.50, indicating that bullish momentum has paused following its recent rally. The lack of directional movement suggests that the market is entering a period of indecision as buyers and sellers battle for control.

Momentum indicators point to the possibility of a short-term pullback. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) has formed a death cross, suggesting that bullish momentum is fading and that Brent could undergo a modest technical retracement from current levels.

Despite this near-term weakness, the broader technical outlook remains constructive. Brent previously broke above its long-term descending trendline resistance, confirming a bullish structural breakout and signaling a shift in the longer-term trend. This breakout suggests that any near-term decline is likely to be corrective rather than the start of a new downtrend.

The key support level to watch is $78.20. As long as Brent remains above this support, the broader bullish structure is expected to remain intact. A successful defense of $78.20 could attract renewed buying interest and provide the foundation for another upward move.

Resistance Levels: 92.00, 100.00

Support Levels: 78.20, 70.55

XAGUSD  H4

Silver has remained under selling pressure since peaking near $63.00 in July, forming a series of lower highs that reinforces the prevailing bearish trend. Over the past two weeks, the metal has declined by more than 10%, highlighting the strength of the recent bearish momentum.

Silver is now testing a key support zone around $57.00, a level that has consistently provided buying support since late June. This support area will be crucial in determining the metal’s next directional move.

From a technical perspective, a rebound from the $57.00 support level remains a possibility, as bargain buying may emerge after the recent sharp decline. A successful defense of this level could trigger a short-term technical recovery and temporarily ease the prevailing selling pressure.

However, if silver fails to hold above $57.00, it would constitute a significant bearish breakdown and reinforce the current downtrend. Such a move would likely accelerate selling momentum and expose the next key support level at $52.80, with the risk of a deeper correction should bearish sentiment persist.

Resistance Levels: 61.58, 65.32

Support Levels:52.80, 48.80
