When #silver $slv miners bottom, how hard will the bounce back be? A comment by @LawrenceLepard in a space last night made me dive in a little further. Let's start with the 2020 crash:
*Note: I used Pan American Silver (PaaS) as many silver ETFs and other top current names weren't nearly as established across both time periods. Data is similar throughout the sector.

PaaS bottomed on 3/20/2020. Here's the price action in the following days:
The bounce off the bottom was over 43%. Although, a patient person, if timing the pullback perfectly (GLTA 🙃 there) could have gotten on the silver bull 22% off the low on 3/31.
In the GFC, Pan American bottomed on 11/20/2008 and then bounced 40% over the next two days. A person able to perfectly time the pullback could have gotten on the silver bull 14% off the lows.
The past doesn't have to be prelude, but it does seem quite likely that when these things bottom, they will absolutely erupt.
Is there more downside before we hit this point? Possibly.

But if you're nodding with the herd that you'll "get in when the Fed pivots," ask yourself...

Who will sell?

Last weekend, I covered why the energy crisis is driving an accelerating #silver supply-demand imbalance. Now, let’s take a shot at the WHEN question by taking a quick look at charts from the bears of the past, with the idea they may be prologue.
Note: I do NOT think I can time this with any precision. If my flip to bullishness in late August was the bottom, luck will have played a big factor. I have zero qualifications. I just like commodity markets. To the charts! 👇
Let’s start with the DotCom Bust.

#Gold found its bottom in Feb of 01, silver in Nov of 01, and the SP500 in Oct of 02. Image

I've never been more excited about #silver. And it has nothing to do with the Fed or the USD. It's a story of the #oil and #gas crisis and it's 2nd/3rd order effects.

Let's start with the supply side. 73% of silver is a byproduct of Zinc, Copper, Lead, and Gold.
Smelting is energy intensive. According to @Eurometaux, half of the EU's Zinc output has already been shut off. As Zinc's smelting process separates the Silver from the ore, this is decreasing supply.

Since only 27% of Silver supply is primary,
the cure for high prices is not necessarily high prices. Silver rocketing to $50 wouldn't bring much more mine supply online (although it could incent bullion sales).
