The Most Important Silver Charts Right Now

A Holiday ๐Ÿงต

Let's Gooo!
1) Silver Historical Chart

Simplicity is beauty.

Silver is setting up for the greatest breakout in the history of capital markets since 1972, when Gold broke out from an over 100-year-long base.

Silver itself broke to new all-time highs in 1973 (circle).

The historical chart dates back 170 years.

Breaking $50/oz is going to be extremely significant and lead to spectacular moves and volatility.Silver 170-Year Chart
2) Silver vs. Foreign Currencies

This plots the price of Silver against the inverse of the US$ index. Monthly data.

Another way to look at it is Silver X US$.

As we've said for years, Gold/FC has led the Gold price and so the same is true for Silver/FC.

Much of the most recent move in Silver has been US$ weakness. It does need to strengthen against the other currencies.

When it does....it's going to make a new all-time high before Silver does in $ terms.Silver vs. Foreign Currencies
3) Silver vs. 60/40 Portfolio

This is a look at Silver against the conventional investment portfolio.

This ratio is trading around a 5-year high but we cannot deem it a breakout until it tests the 2020 peak.

The moving averages are aligned and sloping higher gently, mirroring the gentle rise in the ratio.

The 2016 and 2020 peaks are very close. So there is a 11-year-long base of resistance.

If and when the ratio surpasses that red line and 11-year-long resistance, it signals, Silver is ready to challenge and break resistance at $50.Silver vs. 60/40 Portfolio
4) Inflation-Adjusted Price of Silver (Silver/CPI)

In past tweets and threads, I have shown how and why the inflation-adjusted price of Gold is a fundamental indicator for Gold Miners.

The gold stock indices tend to follow Gold/CPI over the long-term.

The same is also true for Silver/CPI and silver stocks.

We can see it in the chart. Silver/CPI is the top and the SIL ETF is the bottom.

Silver/CPI will not update until we get the June CPI data.

But we will see the inflation-adjusted price of Silver breaking out of a 12-year-long base.

This bodes extremely well for Silver stocks. They should outperform if Silver moves to $40 over the medium term.Inflation-Adjusted Price of Silver
5) Silver Performance Following Gold Breakouts to All-Time Highs

We plot Silver's performance following Gold's 3 other sustained moves to new all-time highs.

We include an average of the 3 as well as an average of the weaker 2.

Silver's performance remains on the low end, but it is starting to perk up.Silver Following Gold Breakouts to New ATH
6) Silver Performance Following Gold Breakout in 1972

I have written about why 1972 is the best comp for Gold today.

Silver broke-out to a new all-time high in 1973, which was the first time it pierced the Civil War spike.

In decluttering the previous chart (for my own analysis), I noticed something.

Silver is tracking its own performance in 1972 closely.Silver Performance Following Gold Breakout in 1972
7) Silver Daily Chart

I really want Silver to consolidate more, but unfortunately for me, it has formed a bull flag.

Its recent breakout has a rough measured upside target of $41.

The bull flag also projects to $41.

And $41 is the last area of resistance until $50. Silver Daily Chart

Silver breaking $50 = 2nd Greatest Breakout of All-Time

& The Greatest Breakout in 52 Years

How Does This Compare to Other Breakouts?

A Thursday ๐Ÿงต

The 7 Greatest Breakouts of All-Time
1) 7th Greatest Breakout of All-Time: Copper 2005

Copper in 2005 broke-out from a 31-year base.

Copper exploded 170% in the first 12 months post-breakout.

I would have expected it to run more but the GFC had an impact.

It made additional gains after the GFC but it was a breakout where all gains came from the initial move post-breakout.Copper Breakout in 2005
2) 6th Greatest Breakout of All-Time: Oil 2004

Oil in 2004 is above Copper because it had a bigger and longer move post-breakout.

It broke-out from a 23-year base in 2004.

It broke $40 and then nearly hit $150 before GFC crash.

Oil gained 106% in the first 2 years and 2 months post-breakout.

It ultimately gained 290% in the 4 years and 2 months after the breakout.Oil Breakout in 2004

5 Gold Charts Catching My Eye Right Now

A ๐Ÿงต

Here we go.....
1) Record Number of Fund Managers Think Gold is Overvalued

The Bank of America Fund Manager Survey shows the highest amount of fund managers in 18 years think Gold is overvalued.

Keep two things in mind here.

First, the survey dates back to 2008.

So, 2008-2011 and 2024-2025 are the only points during which Gold was in a secular bull market. And those are the points that need to be compared to today.

So there is not enough data for a proper comparison.

Second, in a secular bull, sentiment data like this will run hot.

October/November 2024 had one of the highest readings ever. Gold corrected less than 10%, then exploded higher in early 2025.Image
2) Gold Managed Money Positioning is down.

Credit: @InProved_Metals

Yesterday I noted the net speculative position in Gold has decreased from 340K contracts down to 191K contracts.

The Managed Money category is essentially Hedge Funds.

@InProved_Metals notes that Managed Money net long bets are down 43% YTD and at a 15-month low.

A healthy amount of speculation has been removed from the market.Image

Friday ๐Ÿงต

Gold's interim peak is in and a correction is underway.

Usually that means gold stocks, juniors and Silver will perform worse than Gold.

Not this time.

Let's see why....
1) Let's look at a few historical precedents.

Starting with 2003

In late 2002 and into 2003, Gold made a big breakout move, clearing the low $3000s and a 5.5-year-long base.

It was very significant at the time.

Then Gold corrected and consolidated for a good 6 months before it began to break from its correction.

At one point, Gold was at the same price as it was 9 months earlier. No progress.

But the miners and juniors, after an initial selloff surged higher. Juniors really launched.

(GDXJ data pre 2004 is my own index).

Silver to Gold ratio bottomed in the middle of this period.Image
2) Something similar transpired in 2009.

From the depths of the 2008 low, Gold launched 40% to major resistance at $1000.

For over 7 months the Gold price made no progress.

But Silver, miners and juniors made a higher high in June (Gold made lower high) and another high high in September.Image

Tuesday ๐Ÿงต

Yesterday was the end of the quarter.

Time for quarterly charts!

Let's goooooo.....
1) Gold Quarterly Chart

Gold closed the quarter on the high, which is a sign of strength.

The RSI compares to 1972, 1979, 2006 and to a lesser degree 2009.

The 2006 peak was after a huge breakout of a 23-year base but was not at all-time highs.

The extreme RSI in 1979 was in the middle of a blowoff top.

1972 is the best comparison because that peak followed a significant breakout to a new all-time high.

Gold corrected 13% then before exploding much higher.

Gold is only 12 months removed from breaking out of a 13-year base. This is critical to keep in mind.Image
2) Silver Quarterly Chart

Silver futures closed the quarter just below $35.

Now, $35 on a quarterly & monthly basis is the most significant resistance for Silver.

Yesterday's close was 4th highest quarterly close ever.

A close of +$35.00 would be 2nd highest ever & $37.50 would be ATH quarterly close.

Initial support is now at $29, with $35 as resistance.

Silver will gain significant momentum above $35.Image

When Silver's Big Move Against Gold Begins

A ๐Ÿงต

Let's Goooooo!
1) Background

It has been a heck of a last year for precious metals. A year ago, Gold broke out from its 13-year cup and handle pattern, and days ago, it reached its measured upside target of $3,000/oz.

Quality miners and quality junior mining companies have surged higher.

Silver has moved higher alongside Gold but has not outperformed Gold yet. It has gained roughly the same amount as Gold in the past 13 months.

However, since the May 2024 peak, Silver is up only 4% while Gold is up nearly 25%.

Part of the issue is that Gold, after clearing $2100/oz, has been able to enjoy blue sky territory (no overhead resistance) while Silver has had to chew through multiple resistance levels between $26 and $35/oz.
2) A review of history shows it is too soon to expect Silver to outperform Gold

We plot Silver, Gold, and Silver/Gold in the chart below.

Silver is a leveraged bet on Gold, so we focus on Gold's price action.

The vertical lines mark the start of strong legs higher in Silver/Gold and Silver.

The blue arrows mark points at which Gold tested its 200-day moving average after a breakout.

There are six notable periods of Silver outperformance.

Five of the six periods of outperformance began after a breakout in Gold was followed by a correction to its 200-day moving average.

In 1978 and 2003, Silver's outperformance began immediately after Gold's retest of the 200-day moving average.

In the other three cases (1973, 2010, and 2020), Silver's outperformance began four months, two months, and two months after the first test of the 200-day moving average.Image

Gold & Silver Bull Analog Charts Updated

Let's Go!
1) Gold All-Time High Analog

This chart plots Gold's performance after the 3 breakouts to All-Time Highs that held. (2007 & 2020 breakouts did not hold).

There are four: 1972, 1978, 2009, 2024

Current move is hugging the top average line. The two average lines are close together.

Even if Gold follows the weakest of the other three, it could be at $4000/oz in 11 months.Image
2) Silver Performance After Gold All-Time High

This chart shows Silver's performance is the weakest of the four moves.

Even following the weakest puts it at $40 in a few months and a peak of $48 this year.Image
