[POLL] How high will silver go?

[gibrab16]

No matter how long it takes, I'm sure Silver will reach a new ATH in the future. Inflation will lead it there faster than you can imagine. Now that the Silver hype is slowly fading away, I wonder which other precious metal will hit the spotlight? Platinum, maybe?

Silver is just a common metal and is widely used in industry, it is not a safe haven or a hedge against risk like gold.

The surge in silver prices is attributed to increased industrial demand coupled with insufficient supply, rather than safe haven demand. But honestly, I doubt it. And it would be a mistake to assume that inflation will push the price of silver to $100 in the short term.

If you look at the overall picture of silver, you'll see that it's not a potentially profitable investment. Those who bought silver in 1980 at $40-50 took over 30 years to recoup their investment and 45 years to double their investment. LOL.
Be cautious if you intend to invest in silver in the long term.

The recent price moves are clearly tied to industry solar panels, electronics, EVs not people running for protection. That kind of demand is cyclical. When economies slow or tech shifts, silver gets hit hard. Gold doesn’t have that problem.

Today I saw in a Spanish newspaper that silver has recently become the third largest market cap, overtaking Apple. I remember not so long ago that it was around 10th place and bitcoin overtook it. The truth is that it has had a spectacular rise this year.



As for how high it can go, I don't dare to say, as it is an asset that I haven't been following and that I don't know much about.

If Silver can surge like that, then the probability for Bitcoin to do the same got higher. Where does everyone believe will the profit of commodities traders transfer after the surge on Gold and Silver is over?

Will it be in stocks/equities? Or will it be in a commodity-like asset like Bitcoin? I personally believe it will be in Bitcoin. It also has a larger profit opportunity in a shorter amount of time.

[khiholangkang]

Currently, the demand for silver is quite large due to increasing technology which requires the material to be of better quality, making the price of silver continue to increase, plus the global threat situation with uncertain economic conditions means that one alternative commodity other than gold is silver which is equally safe heaven in the current situation.

We see a graph that after experiencing a rise then a sharp decline there is silver and people who make a profit here will definitely shift their money to other commodities, and I agree with Wind_FURY the probability of entering bitcoin is very large in the midst of the bitcoin price which is consolidating, bitcoin is also one of the value storage assets that allows big profits after all these mineral commodities correct, liquidity will shift.

Silver is seeing quite the rebound after what I thought might be the beginning of the bubble popping. Maybe we were just getting ready for another leg up. I’m watching and hoping to see a price in the $80s tomorrow, which I will then be considering buying some SLV put options again.

[gibrab16]

Silver is showing a strong rebound after what initially looked like the start of a bubble unwind. It’s possible that move was just a reset before another leg higher. I’m watching closely and would welcome a push into the $80 range. If that happens, I’ll likely consider picking up SLV put options again and positioning for a pullback.

The factors we have to look for are 2 main things IMO: recession and economic uncertainty.

Both work hand in hand as well. Meaning when recession exists, investors don't put their money into production (ie. forget about stock market growth) and when investors take their money elsewhere the recession gets worse!

With the ongoing global conflicts that are only getting worse and expanding both vertically and horizontally (eg. US is eying invasion of South America, China just surrounded Taiwan with its warships while Japan is talking about building nukes, Eastern Europe is booby trapping the bridges to blow them up as they expand the proxy war with Russia, Iran showcased capability to launch 2000+ missiles in an instant wiping out the entire NATO-Zio-Takfiri Axis in a short time,...) the economic uncertainty is going to grow more. Which means investors will seek "safe assets" and stay away from traditional economy with production and all that.
That means precious metals are going to be the choice for the foreseeable future.

But if things get better and the world moves in the opposite direction, then precious metals will lose their attraction and money moves back to pump both stock market and bitcoin to the moon.

But with all said and done, bitcoin is still a safe haven itself even though historically it has been negatively impacted with recession. The only reason why gold is pumping and bitcoin is not is because central banks are buying gold like crazy (as they replace dollar with gold) and not bitcoin. But the money should technically still go into bitcoin. So with things not changing I'd say bitcoin should still go up in 2026.

There is also another scam going on which is pumping gold price which is by Trump admin. that has gotten desperate due to all his failures, and has been contributing to the gold price pump to sell non-monetary gold thing in order to decrease his trade deficit and pretend his failed tariff war has worked.

I believe that the majority of that surge in Silver is from the irrationality and the madness of the people buying it. We have seen it in Bitcoin during its Bull Cycle. We're currently seeing it in Silver's own cycle.

I'm not debating against your post that demand is high for the actual commodity Silver though, because you're right. But without the current irrationality in the Silver market, we wouldn't see such a surge.

[pawanjain]

That is true. A correction in inevitable after a sharp rally and that's exactly what happened today.
After seeing a new high day after day we saw a 7% fall in Silver price today in the Indian stock market.
The decline differs in different countries but I still believe we will see a big correction in the upcoming days.
This decline is just a minor fall back but we haven't really seen any correction yet.

There will be a big correction. It's likely Silver will head back towards $50 an ounce soon. A massive buying opportunity if this happens. Still, I would've wished Silver went all the way towards $100. Many were expecting this to happen before the end of the year. Maybe next year's the "charm"?

No matter how long it takes, I'm sure Silver will reach a new ATH in the future. Inflation will lead it there faster than you can imagine. Now that the Silver hype is slowly fading away, I wonder which other precious metal will hit the spotlight? Platinum, maybe?

The metal is copper. I have been hearing from many people that copper will be the next metal to hit the spotlight.
Its demand in industries and machinery, IT and other areas is really huge which can lead its price surge higher.
Coming back to Silver, the price is steady now but I am expecting it to decrease further.

Dang. I would have wished Silver to go down towards $50 to buy some more. I guess $70 per ounce is the new bottom. Either way, I'm sure that it will reach $100 within the not-so-distant future. For a long time, Silver has been undervalued. Meanwhile, Gold was getting all of the attention. Now the tables have turned, and Silver finally broke records surpassing its last-recorded ATH of $50 an ounce. The recent dips may be nothing more than a market correction. It would be best to diversify between crypto and Silver to minimize the risk of loss.

For those who bought and held Silver when it was worth $15 - $30 an ounce, you're now sitting in a fortune. I'd use those gains to buy more BTC and increase my chances of getting wealthy in the future. Invest your money wisely, and there should be nothing to worry about.

In my humble opinion, if Silver went down to 50.00, then I believe that it would break its bullish surge and it might start its own Bear Cycle.

Like what we do in Bitcoin, it's probably better to wait for the DIPs and low price points during its Bear Cycle? You do you though, and what makes you comfortable.

Keeping an eye on silver futures in Shanghai, might be the most important signal to watch.


Shanghai vs London: The Most Important Signal in Today’s Market


https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2025-12-30/metal-wars-shanghai-demand-dictates-global-silver-price
This is a market tell.

At present, U.S. spot gold is trading approximately $70 higher on the day, while Shanghai gold futures are lower by roughly $130. The two series are not aligned perfectly in time, and they are not intended to be. The objective is accuracy, not precision. The key observation is that these prices are converging.

The same dynamic is visible in silver. Shanghai silver futures are trading near $79, while U.S. silver is higher by approximately $4, around $76. The spread between Shanghai and Western silver prices reached as much as $9 and fluctuated between roughly $5 and $8 over the past 72 hours. That spread is now narrowing.

The narrowing of this spread carries two distinct implications.

Demand Is Now Broadcasting Externally

The first implication is structural and operates at the macro level.

Demand for silver and gold is no longer confined to domestic Chinese markets. It is now being transmitted outward into global pricing. In commodity markets, demand pulls price. Supply does not lead price discovery in the same way when demand is persistent and inelastic.

As a result, global prices are converging toward the level implied by Chinese demand, at least until that demand is satisfied. As precious metals flows, wealth accumulation, and industrial demand continue to shift eastward, pricing authority follows.

This is the projection of Chinese demand onto the global market.

In prior regimes, Western paper dominance pushed convergence downward. When supply control and spoofing behavior dominated, regional prices converged lower. Under a demand-driven regime, convergence occurs at higher levels.

This behavior is familiar to participants in energy markets and basis trading. It resembles a regional spread convergence or crack spread framework, where prices move toward the dominant demand center rather than the cheapest supply. In this case, the basis is converging at a higher global price.

[Wind_FURY]

Does that mean that the markets outside of China are trying to front-run each other before the Chinese market Silver price reaches the price point where the buyers outside of China bought?

I hope that wasn't a confusing question.

The price of silver and gold vary wildly around the world as pockets of attempted dominance fight each other.

With silver experiencing a bull run, how high do you think it will get?

When do you see the price hitting this point and when it corrects, how low do you think it will eventually settle?

I think we could get as high as $80, but will probably stop around $65. I do believe silver hits $200 before 2040.

You are very correct silver will definitely hit $80 ,but let's watch because the way market is going things and the cost might even reduce,but I wish your prediction should be very right so to meet up with the main market price value

Silver is good metal to invest and if person has low investment because Many people are comparing the gold and silver which is not good because gold need more investment because that is most expensive metal and its demand is very high and only rich people can invest in that . Silver will go to 100$ in a month because new year will start and we will see change in the market and more people will take interest in that because who don't invest gold will try to invest in silver . We saw high level of silver because before month we saw price of that which was at 49 dollars and now that is at 80 dollars and people are in profit who invested at good time. People should go hold that metal if they want to get more profit from that .

[STT]

if Silver went down to 50.00, then I believe that it would break its bullish surge

50 would be the old high though it might vary by the currency used and any adjustment for inflation but nominally I think alot of volume is there.  Putting in a low then a bottom price at 50 should prove bullish from then on, it helps remove sellers and could prove positive action to build from in 2026.

   Dont forget that the whole holiday season involves traders being away not present to take part in trading, lower volume and disrupted markets, sales and transportation of the physical.  All of that is noise and reason to discount the prior volume in contrast to forthcoming full volume trade in silver price action.

[pooya87]

With the acts of aggression by the US regime in South America, the destabilization of international order is intensifying, as expected. That means the rush to dedollarize and replace it with precious metals (ie. gold mostly) is going to intensify even more. We may start seeing a new rallying trend pretty soon...

The only thing that I'd keep an eye out is the fact that these days everyone is talking about precious metals (gold, silver, etc.). It is concerning because as we know and have also learned from the crypto market, you should always buy when there is "blood on the streets" and stay away when your grandma is talking about buying in!
That means you should have bought gold or silver when smart money was entering it and price was $1600 and we were seeing the signs of major money coming in and today tread more carefully in this market... although I still think price will soar higher (gold to $5k, silver to $80-$85). BTW the first topic contains some interesting replies from many who didn't want to believe dedollarisation and the soaring of gold price. Price was $1600 on 2022-10-27 when that topic was started

[LOVER BOY 422]

Silver may scale any height but will eventually come back to ground for sure.

-- Silver is not a reserve currency for a country any more. So, you cannot compare silver with gold.

-- Supply of silver is very huge. Approximately only 50% of silver has been mined out from the found reserves. Chances for discovering more reserves is practically higher.

-- Historically silver is known for falling up to 60-70% from its peak prices. Gold did the same for once or twice in last 100+ years.

-- Industrial demands for silver is short living. Because, new technological development will lead for replacing silver with another metal/substance which is cheaper/industrial produced.


Silver may rise 2x  or 3x from the current level but it will not be sustaining there due to above reasons. Like we do state in this crypto space, silver is NOT for long term hodling for sure.

You may invest into silver for short term benefits but for long term and sustaining growth you must choose bitcoin and may be gold for diversification along with bitcoin.

So, when we can consider silver for investing?
If any government adapting silver as one of their reserve, we can start investing with silver.

Gold is skyrocketing because of Fed/central banks of multiple countries accumulating it and not because of its finite supply or demand from public (for ornaments)/industries.

Yes silver is not gold or like other crypto it can move at anytime,silver is one of the meneral resources that doesn't loss it challenge  so it will definitely be okay with it price,but currently $4,450 this is the price of gold now.
Why silver price is fluctuating around which we can capture around $76-$78 per once though the price can still change at anytime soon

Are you telling us that Silver is going to surge until its Total Market Value will reach that of Gold's Total Market Value? I believe that would be like saying that Litecoin's Total Market Value will reach Bitcoin's Total Market Value, no?

 

But both metal markets could keep surging especially when the Federal Reserve turns on the Money Printer, and within eighteen months of that Bitcoin will also SURGE. We will probably see that during 2027.

If Silver goes up, so will Gold. It will be impossible for Silver to surpass Gold's market cap in the future. Especially when Gold is the world's premier store of value. It's like saying ETH or any other altcoin will surpass Bitcoin's market cap. Silver had a good ride, but it's only been due to hype. Once the dust settles, we should expect a market correction. A huge one, to say the least.

The farthest Silver will go is $100, followed by an extended bearish period. At least within the next 2-5 years. Long-term speaking, Silver should go way beyond $100 per ounce. Gold will also rise to new heights, going all the way up to $10k per ounce. Of course, this is just me speculating. The market is unpredictable, so anything can happen in the future. Better diversify between crypto and precious metals just in case.
