Latest Silver Price Forecasts & Predictions

Silver prices are on the move, and investors are watching closely to see if the metal can finally break through the long-standing $50.00 barrier.

Several factors point to a potential breakout before year-end, including muted retail sentiment and a favorable shift in the gold-to-silver ratio.

But the real question is: what happens once silver pushes through $50.00? If the LBMA runs out of freely available silver early next year, a sharp rally toward $75, or even $100, is entirely plausible.

SILVER BIG PICTURE

Silver is quickly approaching the major resistance level of $49.50, last reached in 2011. The $50.00 mark was first tested in 1980, making this a 45-year consolidation. A decisive breakout above $50.00, whether later this year or in early 2026, would mark a generational shift in the market, potentially triggering a rapid move toward $75.00 and ultimately $100. Looking further ahead, we see the possibility of silver trading in the hundreds of dollars per ounce range within 5 or 10 years.

GOLD to SILVER RATIO

The gold-to-silver ratio tends to reach major lows roughly every five years, with the next one expected in the first half of 2026. A breakdown below the current trendline would support a strong rally in silver, likely thrusting prices through $50.00, driving the ratio back towards 60 or lower, hence suggesting silver could have much further to run.

Silver is building up to breaking out above the key $50 level to new all-time highs, a major technical event that is expected to trigger a scorching short-covering rally that will be driven by a massive short squeeze that could trigger a “forcé majeure” event where delivery becomes impossible because there’s no silver on hand to deliver, as in “Sorry, we haven’t got any” and also assisted by the fact that silver is currently very undervalued relative to gold on a historical basis.

Before going any further you are advised to watch Mike Maloney’s recent video on silver entitled Triple Digit Silver Imminent if you haven’t already seen it. In this succinct video he makes many very important points in the space of less than 14 minutes, including that Central Banks are now buying silver, which means that it is being remonetized, silver is now in backwardation, meaning that spot silver is more expensive to buy than forward dated silver which is the reverse of the normal situation and very bullish, silver is being added to the US list of critical minerals and because silver production is as a by product of zinc, lead, copper and gold production, a severe economic contraction, which would result in less demand for industrial metals, will greatly reduce the supply of silver. Also, on an end of quarter and end of year closing price basis silver is already at new highs! and lastly, all of the silver mined in the world to date has less value than the current value of just one company, Amazon!

Now we will swiftly go through the charts on which it quickly becomes clear that the bull case for silver is “iron clad”.

Starting with the 6-month silver chart we see a picture that is entirely bullish, with silver advancing in a “staircase” pattern with its steady uptrend being punctuated by bull Flags and Pennants along the way – and this is before it breaks out to new highs – after it does and the short squeeze really bites, it is likely to ascend almost vertically and probably in a spectacular manner, leaving doubters standing on...
