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.comÂ

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.comÂ
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.comÂ
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.comÂ
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
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.comÂ
Silver could surprise to the upside after losing over 50% of its value, precisely because everyone now agrees it will go lower. x.comÂ
Gold is extremely attractive now because rising market fear could make it a great hedge. It has fallen nearly 30% from its January all-time high and returned to the accumulation zone. If this level holds, expect a bounce soon. x.comÂ
Silver is setting up for a violent dump, nearer the end of its run than the beginning. After a 140%+ rise in 2026, with gold moving first and "silver is still cheap" everywhere, the setup echoes 2011, when silver ran from $18 to $49 and collapsed once leverage peaked and liquidity vanished. Real deficits and industrial demand attract more leverage rather than prevent a crash. In a thin, derivatives-driven market, crowded positioning can cascade into forced selling, though it may rise first. … Show more
Gold and silver may benefit if yields ease a little further from their local high for a while longer. The FOMC meeting and minutes could be good for both. x.comÂ
Silver is worth exiting completely over time, selling into the next major pump with no rush. Over the long run it does not keep up with inflation, gold or bitcoin, and it carries ridiculous buying and selling fees and low liquidity. x.comÂ
