EUR/USD held flat at 1.1631 as a firmer dollar from the crypto-driven risk-off capped the euro near the middle of its recent range.

DXY at 99.2 is still historically soft, so the ECB-Fed rate gap keeps EUR bid on dips, but upside momentum has stalled around 1.1600.

1.1600 is the line in the sand; a break opens 1.1530. Reclaiming 1.1700 is needed to revive the bull case.

Silver firmed 0.4% to $75.31, edging higher but still roughly a third below its cycle peak.

Silver lags gold's central-bank bid; it needs industrial and AI-hardware demand to close the gap with the yellow metal.

$74 support and $78 resistance bracket the move; a gold breakout would likely drag silver with it.
