Silver's predicted third sell-off is well advanced, and an AI-induced bust could drag it lower first, though there is a small chance it is near its last local low. Longer term, the falling wedge will likely resolve as an upside continuation pattern. @DonDurrett expects sub-$60 silver and sub-$4,000 gold as Chinese appetite fades, with the correction likely not over. x.com  x.com 

Silver's bearish signal is the huge number of likes on Rashad Hajiyev's $200 call, pointing instead to $20 over the next three years. The final low is due in late 2029 to early 2030 under the dominant seven-year cycle, whose lows came in 2001, 2008, 2015 and 2022; the 2020 Covid low was an anomaly, not a four-year cycle. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Silver's supply shortfall should ultimately help drive its price higher. A commenter cites a projected 46.3 million-ounce deficit in 2026, the sixth consecutive annual shortfall. Supply should remain tight in coming months, though negative trading and fear of further losses are driving investors to sell for now. x.com  x.com 

Silver will dump along with gold, stocks, bonds and bitcoin when markets open Monday, as macro stresses hit all at once. The Fed just confirmed rate hikes are back on the table, Iran violated the ceasefire as the US reportedly struck it (per Kalshi), Japan and China are cutting Treasury exposure, and the AI bubble is starting to collapse. Monday could be the worst day of 2026. In the worst case, oil goes parabolic, yields spike and liquidity vanishes. x.com 

Rising oil worsens inflation and puts Fed rate hikes back in focus, making non-yielding gold and silver less attractive. Investors are also selling metals to meet margin calls. An estimated $1.83 trillion in combined value was wiped out over recent sessions; both metals remain under pressure as long as oil keeps rising and rate-hike expectations stay high. x.com 

Silver could surprise to the upside after losing over 50% of its value, precisely because everyone now agrees it will go lower. x.com 

Silver's earlier mass euphoria could give way to comparable pain, leaving it attractive only at $25-$35. A correction of 75% or more has historically been normal; reaching that range may take time, and it may never happen. x.com 

Silver has failed as a monetary asset, so it should be priced at its utility value, and it is still overpriced. It fell from $120 to $56 and may not make another all-time high for 15 years, even though nobody talks about it now. Silver is not the next store of value; Bitcoin is superior in every way, with a much larger TAM. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

Silver could see a systemic shock and full price discovery, signaled by institutions stacking deep out-of-the-money options at $900-1,000 while spot sits near $80. That positioning, flagged by @CryptoNobler, is not hedging but a direct bet on a black swan; retail trades the present while institutions position ahead. x.com 

Silver's 30% rally off its lows was likely the bulk of the move in this 20-week cycle, and metals should weaken as the dollar index rallies off its 80-day cycle low toward 100. Silver hit the $72 target and fell 6.8% in three hours. Cycles point to a 40-day low in early September, a bounce, then a 20-week low around October, with $48-49 the ideal fall target. September is the seasonal peak and October to mid-November is typically bearish; if the dollar regains 100, metals will struggle. x.com  … Show more
