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.

We got the upside breakout from the bull Flag that was predicted in the last update posted on July 6th but then rather like Apollo 12 which got struck by lightning twice in quick succession on the way up, the ride got bumpy for a while with it reacting back quite sharply to support within the Flag and at the rising 50-day moving average, but then it stabilized and started higher again last week as we can see on the latest 6-month chart below and it is worth noting that the rather unexpectedly large reaction brought the MACD back to a very modest reading, which means that upside potential has been almost fully restored and given the overall strongly bullish tenor of this chart, silver has big upside potential from here.

We are somewhat hampered looking at the silver chart in Stockwatch because volume and volume indicators are not available, but we can easily get around this obstacle by looking at the chart for iShares Silver Trust, which is a reliable proxy for silver itself. Thus, on the 6-month chart for SLV we see that the volume pattern is strongly bullish, with big volume on rallies that dies back on the reactions that follow which is why the Accumulation line shown at the top of the chart is trending strongly higher and the fact that it is already making new highs is certainly a propitious indication that points to a strong advance whose first target will be the 2011 all-time highs at $50 that, once cleared, can be expected to lead to rapid upside acceleration.

Zooming out via the 7-year chart we see that the major bull market in silver is now becoming established and is poised to accelerate with the price now advancing away from the giant Head-and-Shoulders continuation pattern that formed following the 2020 and 2021 highs, with the price also being projected higher at an accelerating rate by the boundary of the giant Bowl pattern shown that is shepherding the price ever more rapidly towards...
