SILVER’S BIG BREAK: WHY $100/oz IS CLOSER THAN YOU THINK

Silver Is a Sleeping Giant—But Not for Long

If you’ve been watching the precious metals market lately, you’ve probably noticed something odd: gold is making new highs, while silver is just tagging along for the ride. Normally, when gold runs, silver explodes higher.

But this time? Not yet.

Over the past year, gold is up about 39%, while silver has gained 37%—a solid performance for both, but not the kind of outperformance we’ve seen in past bull runs.

Let’s step back and get some historical context.

From 1960 to 2024, silver has shown massive spikes during bull market peaks, particularly in 1980 and 2011. Those were the moments when silver left gold in the dust.

• In 1980, silver hit $50 an ounce, partly due to the Hunt Brothers attempting to corner the market.
• In 2011, silver also soared to $50 while gold traded around $1,500.

That gave us a gold/silver ratio of about 30:1—meaning an ounce of gold was worth 30 times an ounce of silver.

Fast forward to today: the gold/silver ratio is hovering around 89:1. Historically, that screams undervaluation for silver. If silver were to return to a 30:1 ratio with gold at $3,000/oz (a realistic target in the coming years), we’re talking about silver at $100/oz or higher.

But why is silver lagging right now? And when will it finally take off?

What’s Holding Silver Back?

Silver, like gold, has always been a store of value, but with a lot more volatility. That’s why investors who want more bang for their buck have historically flocked to silver during inflationary periods.

But something changed over the last decade.

The rise of cryptocurrencies stole some of silver’s thunder. A decade ago, when people wanted a high-upside hedge against inflation, they turned to silver. Today? Many of them buy Bitcoin or other altcoins.

In 2011, Bitcoin was a niche asset barely anyone knew about. Silver was still the go-to asset for those seeking an inflation hedge with explosive potential.

Now, crypto acts like a pressure valve, siphoning off demand that would have otherwise pushed silver much higher.

But here’s the thing: this won’t last forever.

Governments are clamping down on crypto with regulations, taxes, and surveillance. Meanwhile, silver is quietly building momentum, supported by something crypto doesn’t have—real-world industrial demand.

And that brings us to the next piece of the puzzle.

The Economic Setup: A Powder Keg Ready to Blow

We are entering a disruptive period in history, and silver is perfectly positioned to benefit.

The U.S. government is drowning in debt, and the only way out is through inflation. No matter who is in office, the playbook will likely look something like this:

✔ Print more money (a.k.a. monetize the debt)
✔ Cut interest rates (making savings accounts worthless)
✔ Stimulus checks (because voters love free money)
✔ Massive deficit spending (because politicians won’t cut programs)

We’ve seen it before. In 2020, Trump issued $1,800 in stimulus checks to every eligible American, along with the $800 billion Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). And let’s be real—if the economy takes a turn, expect more handouts.

But here’s the catch: every stimulus package, every rate cut, every dollar printed out of thin air makes your savings weaker and tangible assets stronger.

That’s why silver—historically one of the best hedges against inflation—is about to have its moment.

Silver to $100 by 2028? Here’s How It Happens

Silver is a tiny market compared to gold, stocks, or bonds. That means even a small increase in demand can send prices through the roof.

There are two major tailwinds pushing silver toward triple-digit prices:

🔥 Industrial Demand (Especially Solar Energy) – Silver is an essential component in solar panels. As governments push for green energy, demand for silver will skyrocket.

🔥 Investment Demand – When the reality of inflation sinks in and confidence in fiat currency crumbles, investors will rush back to silver as a safe haven.

With both forces working together, a move toward $100/oz by 2028 is entirely possible—especially if gold continues its trajectory toward $3,000-$5,000/oz.

The Bottom Line: Get In Before the Crowd

Right now, silver is still undervalued and overlooked. But that won’t last much longer.

The same patterns that played out in 1979-80 and 2010-11 are setting up again. When silver finally catches up to gold, the move will be violent and fast.

By the time the average investor realizes what’s happening, silver will already be deep into its breakout. The best time to buy is before the fireworks begin.
