Can silver overcome its June drop

Silver: Seasonal Weakness Ahead – But Will Bulls Buy the Dip?

Silver has recently enjoyed a strong rally, driven by safe-haven demand and momentum across the precious metals space. However, early June has historically marked a period of weakness for silver prices, with a notable negative seasonal pattern. Silver has shown an average move of -1.66% and just a 33% win rate over the past 15 years, in this period. Still, technical and macro factors suggest the dip could be temporary.

Gold Bugs: Take Note That June Is Historically the Weakest Month

Gold has been a strong performer this year, driven by geopolitical risks and central bank demand, yet history shows June tends to be the weakest month for gold prices. According to a 25-year Seasonax study, gold averages a loss of 0.8% from June 1 to July 1, with only a 40% chance of gains during this period. This downturn is often linked to reduced physical demand and a lull in global jewelry consumption.

Will the “Sell USD” Narrative Keep Growing?

The seasonal pattern for EUR/USD from May 29 to June 6 favors euro strength, with a 78.57% win rate and +1.14% average return. This year, the “Sell USD” narrative may gain traction as Moody’s downgrade and China’s reduced Treasury exposure highlight US fiscal concerns. The pair nears key resistance levels that could trigger another leg higher. However, risks remain if the Fed turns hawkish or economic data surprises. The seasonal setup offers timely insight into current macro trends.

GM: Will Political Risk Undermine a Seasonal Surge?

General Motors exhibits one of the most consistent bullish seasonal patterns among U.S. auto stocks between May 26 and June 8. Over the past 10 years, GM has posted gains in 8 out of 10 years during this period, with an average return of +6.28%. As the EV tariff debate heats up, GM’s short-term performance aligns with seasonal strength. Its EV strategy faces risk from shifting U.S. policies, making this both an opportunity and a potential inflection point.

Home Depot’s Post-Earnings Lift: Seasonal Tailwind Meets Support on the Charts

Home Depot tends to rally in late May, with an 86.67% win rate and an average gain of +1.30% over the past 15 years. This year, seasonal strength is reinforced by potential U.S.–China trade relief and a technical support zone near $353. With earnings on May 20, a bounce could be in play, though risks remain. Strategic investors should watch for confirmation from both fundamentals and the charts.

EUR/USD: Strong Seasonal Window Aligns With Bullish Bias

EUR/USD tends to show reliable strength from May 23 to June 7. Over the past 10 years, the pair has posted positive returns in 8 of them, averaging a gain of +1.00%. With macro tailwinds and recent price action consolidating near 1.1200, bulls may be eyeing a breakout. Technically, the 1.130 level is within reach if support at 1.1150 holds. However, traders should remain alert to Fed rhetoric and US inflation data that could disrupt the seasonal pattern.

Over the past decade, the tech-heavy index has delivered an average return of +3.40% from May 19 to June 7, with a remarkable 90% win rate. Strong seasonal momentum, driven by optimism in AI and supportive macro factors, continues to offer opportunities. Recent technical indicators also support a bullish setup.

USD/CHF: Seasonal Slump Aligns With Technical Resistance

USD/CHF tends to underperform from mid-May to early August, with historical data pointing to a seasonal slump. Over the past 25 years, the average move during this period has been -2.06%, with a win rate of only 32%. Currently, traders should watch the 0.8400 level closely, a critical barrier that aligns with a former triple bottom. A rejection here could set up a renewed move lower, especially if macro fundamentals align with the seasonal trend.
