[POLL] How high will silver go?

[OgNasty]

At $85 per ounce it is starting to feel like $100 is a magnet. I saw in Japan it already went over $100/oz.

I’m selling this rally in silver with the expectation we are back below $50 next year. Still, very exciting to be at all time highs in any asset you have been stacking and I do hope we see triple digits first.

[Wind_FURY]

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.

It's "IF Gold will surge, so will Silver". I'm not actually confident about this post, but I believe if cryptocurrency market has Bitcoin, then the metals market has Gold. All of the other metals will follow Gold like all of the other cryptocurrencies follow Bitcoin.

$90 per ounce now and still looking very bullish. I think we have to hit triple digits before this run ends right?

I don’t see this topping until March or shortly thereafter, so I think there’s time to get another 25% from here if demand keeps up.

Be careful when the behavior behind the market becomes absolute Euphoria. If you're holding the asset, then it's probably a wise decision to take some profit unless you're going to HODL.

Although if you ask me, currently the only asset that's a good HODL is Bitcoin. It will continue surging to a new All Time High every four years. But Silver, it might take DECADES.

At the pace Silver is going, I'm sure it will reach $100 by the end of the month. It's too "hot" right now. What I'm worried about is how fast market prices are increasing. I'm afraid it's bound for a huge correction after the hype ends. This could happen once Silver hits the triple digits.

I'd refrain from buying more Silver for now. It's too risky. Getting into it during the market correction (bearish), would be ideal. Luckily for me, I'm already in the profit zone. That's because I've bought lots of Silver while it was still "cheap". I'd just convert it into Gold and forget about the rest. Long-term speaking, I'm certain Silver will be worth much more than just $100 per ounce. All thanks to inflation. We'll see what happens in the long run.

I wouldn't especially sell to hold cash, if you have bills to pay and big debts and so on then of course its justified and great to have profits to do that with.   But the idea silver has to return to its days of 50 or less only can occur if demand was speculative and supply exceeds all those wishing to buy.
  All factors have to be weighed carefully, leverage and paper silver sure I think its fair to think its a zero sum type of balanced trade up and down but physical demand I think is real.
   The miners are too cheap relative to the headline price, if you are bearish then swapping physical but holding onto miners seems fair as it takes them years to get their reserves out of the ground into an actual sale so partly that means they are never fully valued for their full potential.
  People are already assuming a metals price pullback and their average is far lower realized pricing in their pockets. I think its a decade long movement on average, the spikes I cant say but bullish over a decade is my estimate for some time.

The last few months I have predicted that the quadrennial cycle has changed, both for Bitcoin, Gold and Silver. Recently I saw that the chart view for Silver or XAG looks very Bullish following the Gold trend.

Silver prices can also move due to many factors, including geopolitical instability or fears of a recession that make Silver prices rise, even though they are at a lower level than Gold.
In addition, industrial demand for Silver also continues to increase, especially from the renewable energy, electronics and electric vehicle sectors, which indirectly strengthens its fundamentals. This condition makes silver no longer only seen as a hedging asset, but also as a strategic commodity.

Are you telling the people reading the topic that Silver is a HODL sort of asset currently like Bitcoin? Because I do understand why some people are not worried when they bought Bitcoin at a higher price. They know that the Four-Year-Cycle will happen again, and all that they should do is wait.

But with Silver, the "wait" would have been decades. Are you saying the because of "this condition" the wait won't be decades anymore?

[OgNasty]

This is the first day in a while that I haven't had to ship any silver.  Is retail demand fading?  Considering I've been selling silver at spot and still haven't depleted my inventory tells me that we're in a bubble.  There may be legitimate reasons for silver to be this expensive (China's solar panel and battery demand), but looking at a 50 year chart I think it is pretty obvious that we are in a temporary price bubble and it seems to be nearly done inflating.  I think we top in the next few weeks/months.

[philipma1957]

I purchased over 11 kilos from 2021 to 2023

18 to 30 bucks an oz say 25 average

I sold almost all of it from 50 to 90 an oz

I have about 18oz in bars and 60 silver dollars

left.

the flat and drop to 88-89 for Friday close could mean a big run up Sunday night

maybe we top 100 bucks. Market closes soon for the week end.

I would like to see it close at about 89.25-89.95 or so

This isnt the early 1980's and sadly no Hunt Brothers.   We didnt recently do the Nixon shock of multiple events still I would say big things happened in recent years alongside growth to justify these prices.
  If we did repeat that big squeeze on a similar magnitude to the 80's high it would now be placing Silver in the multiple hundreds, like 250 per oz.   I dont suppose they will allow that to happen and on the downside they banned the Hunt brothers from holding any silver contracts so that sucked for them, they just had the physical which is why I'd only judge it off that underlying fundamental.

I reckon 100 will be like 50 was prior, just a mirage as far as resistance goes.  We can get past that level, I dont know the high price in total but I think its more then just a momentary spike or panic.

  Do I see multiple factors showing a top, I dont think I do but Dollar was up for last five days and also the last month but not massively.  If it tops 100 on DXY and also acts as if thats support then sure I'd think its over certainly in short term.
  I want to see a top in multiple metals, it might slow but thats not really enough to give any indication.  I'm forced to side with the trend till proven otherwise.

Buffett estimated that the world was consuming perhaps 150 million more ounces of silver a year then it produced, a trend that had persisted for a few years. For most commodities, that imbalance would have caused prices to soar.16 Dec 2025

Warren Buffett avoids investing in gold due to its lack of practical uses and inherent value. Buffett favors silver because it fulfills value investing principles, with its use in industrial and medical applications. Gold, largely used for jewelry, lacks the practical applications Buffett seeks in an investment.15 Nov 2025

[philipma1957]

it drifted up over 90 at the close to 90.07

its hard to tell we had 3 spikes of silver

1978-1981 ,, 2005-2007

and now 2025-2026

first spike


 they dropped from 48 or 50 in 1980 to  around 5  in 1992

up to 48 in 2011 and down to 14 in 2018

up to 94 in 2026

in no case did the peak number go flat and sideways

it always tanked

so if silver has peaked it will tank or maybe its is a new pattern.

remember silver could go to numbers like 150 or 200 we could be early in the rally

if you look at feb 1979 it was around 8 and went over 40 close to 50 11 months later so the up swing was longer than 11 months

you could argue that we have to go up for a few more months maybe to 125 or so. than tank.

China is paying $11 over spot for silver right now. The highest disparity from western prices ever.  It makes me wonder how long this appetite for silver is going to last. Is this supply shortage the real deal, or are we just seeing bank short positions begin to unwind towards reality?

I feel like solar and battery demand is going to continue to increase. I also think silver is a little overheated from the sudden rise. I guess I’m growing bearish short term while remaining bullish long term. Not too different from my thoughts on Bitcoin currently.

US Mint is charging $170/oz right now for silver! This is either the top or something insane is on the way.

DECADES between spikes.

 

I wouldn't be caught buying this asset during the surge, trapping me when it crashes, THEN I'll be waiting for two DECADES merely to breakeven.

It's so funny to see peoples reactions as a bitcoiner to these volatility claims. Silver went from 88 to 92 to 87, and people are reacting as if this was something huge and how much it moved. In bitcoin world that is an ordinary Tuesday, we move that much every single day and that's just daily waves for us, its not even a big deal to talk about.

In bitcoin world, there are days we move 20% down or up, and those are big ones and that is when we talk about it, but even then its not really a "huge" deal, we have to have few of those back to back to actually have a bear run or a bull run. Here in silver, it dropped under 88 and suddenly people are starting to talk about how things are different and not doing the same anymore.

[philipma1957]

silver is will always be an easy play.

wait for a crash buy and hodl it.

i got in this time from 2021 to 2023

18 to 30 buy in

50 to 90 sales.


buying now after this run-up is not anything I advise.

i have 3 rolls of 20 morgan dollars selling them at 1475 each

I have the 18 oz set. selling it at 2000.

so if it all sells at those prices I get 6425 take fees maybe 5700 bucks.

but i do not need to sell any of it.

did a lot of sales made good money.

But it's actually massive for Silver, IF you put how long investors waited for the current surge.

But as a Bitcoiner, it's not that massive. That's probably Silver investors used/risked a lot more capital to get a higher return in exchange for the lower volatility.
