InvestingHaven’s silver forecast is based on 2 decades of deep analysis, focused on understanding silver price influencers.
This silver price forecast is created based on a deep understanding and thorough analysis of silver price influencers.
The internet is full of pseudo silver price forecasts characterized by large tables which are generated by AI. Those impossible-to-read tables are so called ‘silver price forecasts‘. Our silver forecasting work is very, very different.

RELATED – Can Silver Ever Hit $100 an Ounce?
Silver prediction research suggests the next few years will be mildly to wildly bullish. However, this bullish thesis invalidates once silver drops and stays below $19.50, a low probability outcome.
2. Bullish silver prediction – 5 leading indicators
According to our methodology, a bullish silver price prediction requires 5 leading indicators to be supportive:
- Gold has to be in a confirmed secular bull market -> gold confirmed its bull market in March 2024.
- Inflation expectations need to respect their long term uptrend -> confirmed.
- The EURUSD cannot be in a downtrend -> EURUSD is vulnerable at the time of updating this post.
- Silver’s futures market may not show excessive concentration in terms of short positioning -> short positions were excessive until recently.
- Demand for physical silver needs to go through the roof -> confirmed.
December 11th – At the time updating this post, 4 out of the 5 leading indicators are bullish, supporting a bullish case for silver in the years ahead.
3. Silver charts supporting a bullish silver forecast
While many our silver prediction research requires chart analysis of many charts, there are 3 charts that truly stand. The following 3 charts tell a very bullish silver story.
Silver’s secular price chart
The 50-year silver chart is shown below.
The chart pattern on this chart is a bullish cup and handle formation, ready to resolve higher.
While a bullish cup and handle chart structure is not unusual, what makes this chart setup so unusual and exceptional is the length of this chart pattern. There is not any other market nor stock or commodity that has such a strong bullish pattern over such a long period of time.
December 11th – The silver breakout is ongoing on the highest timeframe, i.e. the quarterly silver chart. This gorgeous chart setup with a phenomenal breakout in progress are proof that our bullish silver forecasts published in recent years were justified. In order for this secular silver breakout to be confirmed, the price of silver has to remain above 30 USD/oz, without touching it, until June 30th, 2025.
Gold to silver ratio secular chart
The gold to silver ratio, shown below, is sourced from our article Gold-to-Silver Ratio and Historic Silver Rallies:
The historical evidence suggests that the gold-to-silver ratio entering the 80 to 100x range may act as a signal for a significant rally in the price of silver. This ratio suggests that silver is extremely undervalued relative to gold.
The gold to silver ratio chart over 50 years is shown below. It can confirm a silver price prediction, directionally (it is not a timing indicator though).
A few insights that stand out:
- The gold to silver ratio tends to spend most of time in the area 75 to 95 points, see chart.
- Only exceptionally does this ratio drop below 65 points. Whenever the gold to silver ratio drops below 65 points, it tends to coincide with unusually strong spikes in the price of silver.
- The long term reversal is a very bearish M-pattern. It looks like the 4th and last leg of this ‘M-pattern’ is now underway. If this is true, then a sharp drop to 40 points is a matter of time. Silver will set new ATH if and when this will happen.
The gold to silver ratio is an amazing indicator in misleading the majority of investors. It is almost designed to ensure that the majority of investors will miss the historic silver rallies.
December 11th – The ratio gold/silver remains flat. This is discouraging investors to see the relative undervaluation of silver against gold. A break below 75 points will trigger bullish momentum in the silver market. Here is one scenario that may play out in the next few months – silver moves to our next higher target of 37.70 USD/oz, gold remains flat, the gold to silver ratio drops below 75 points, this triggers bullish momentum as all indicators will be bullish (this is an hypothetical scenario to bring our point home).
Silver’s correlation with gold and inflation expectations
Next up is the correlation between gold and inflation expectations (TIP). Even the S&P 500 is strongly correlated to gold and TIP.
In a way, this chart is the ultimate fundamental intermarket driver for silver!
December 11th – The correlation between inflation expectations, gold and the S&P 500 is striking. This next chart visualizes the point that gold thrives in a bullish market environment and also economic growth. Contrary to common belief, gold needs good conditions, not economic uncertainty, in order to thrive. The chart below invalidates the perception (a myth) that gold needs economic uncertainty to perform well.
4. Silver leading indicator #1: Gold
There is no bull market in silver without a strong and secular bull market in silver!
Gold must be in a bull market for silver to do what it’s good at.
A bullish silver price prediction requires a healthy gold bull market.
History has proven, over and over again, that silver is amazing in doing this:
- Mislead the majority of investors as they get discouraged of waiting for silver to move higher.
- Move sharply and suddenly higher, once the majority of investors give up, leaving ‘everyone’ behind.
- When FOMO kicks in and the majority of investors jump onboard, setting a major top.
In order to avoid the ‘major silver trap’ explained above, there is one important leading indicator to track – the grand bull market. Below is the secular gold price chart which has a message – the secular gold bull market is here!
December 11th – Gold’s long term bullish market remains strong. The gold bull market is certainly confirmed: +3 monthly candlesticks above the breakout level. Gold’s bull market, ultimately, will push silver to new ATH; drops can be expected along the way, pullbacks can be healthy provided they respect key support levels.
5. Silver’s leading indicator #2: Inflation expectations
The most important leading indicator to predict the price of silver is inflation expectations, assuming a gold secular bull market.
Inflation expectations are positively correlated with gold, consequently it’s a fundamental driver for the price of silver.
The chart shown below visualize our point:
- Any sharp silver price drop in the past occurred when inflation expectations (TIP) were declining.
- Rising silver prices require inflation expectations (TIP) to trend higher.
As long as inflation expectations keep on rising, directionally (not on a day-to-day basis), the odds keep on rising that silver will move to ATH. This indicator is a critical one for a bullish silver price prediction.
December 11th – The fundamental catalyst for gold and silver is inflation expectations (TIP ETF). As 2025 kicks off, this catalyst remains supportive for gold and also silver. Precious metals investors want to see TIP ETF moving within its perfectly rising channel, with max. 3 monthly closing prices below support of the rising channel.
6. Silver leading indicator #3: EURUSD
Precious metals need a rising or flat EURUSD in order to shine. We observe a consolidation on the EURUSD chart, supporting a bullish silver price prediction.
Conversely, precious metals cannot rise if the USD is strongly trending higher.
If we look at the secular EURUSD chart, indicating its long term trend, we observe:
- An ongoing consolidation in 2024.
- A strong bounce since 2023.
This is very supportive for precious metals. There is a low probability for the USD to stage a strong bull run (which would bearish for precious metals).
December 11th – The secular EURUSD chart is an important indicator for the gold price, especially at times when the EURUSD is falling fast. Back in 2008, 2013, 2022, the EURUSD noticed significant declines which resulted in large drops in the price of gold & silver. The rule of thumb, on the highest timeframe, is that the EURUSD should not be in a steep decline in order to create a supportive environment for gold & silver. At the time of updating this post, the EURUSD is struggling but it’s certainly not in a strong downtrend.
7. Silver leading indicator #4: Futures market
One specific data point in the silver futures market is concentration of traders shorts. As long as this reading is not excessive, there is upside potential in the price of silver.
We explained this leading indicator in this article:
Silver: This One Leading Indicator Confirms Massive Upside Potential In 2025
Below is the chart visualizing concentration of the largest traders short in the silver futures market. It is easy to observe the dynamics that this leading indicator creates, and correlation with the price of silver:
- Concentration was extremely high back in 2017 – the price of silver was unable to rise.
- Concentration dropped in 2018 and started rising again in 2019 – the silver price followed a similar path.
- In each of these occurrences, the price of silver came down once extremely high levels of concentration were touched.
This leading indicator is nowhere near extremes. It suggest that significant upside potential in silver, maybe even massive upside potential, in 2025 and 2026. This data point supports a very bullish silver price prediction.
December 11th – The latest data in the silver futures market shows that concentration among the largest traders net short has declined steeply since October 2024. This is a great evolution, because concentration near 10-year lows. This, in turn, allows for much more upside potential in the price of silver. While this indicator does not confirm that silver will and must go up, it says that there is a lot of upside potential before this indicator becomes restrictive.
8. Silver leading indicator #5: Physical silver market
The ongoing silver shortage in the physical silver market keeps on ‘deteriorating’, supporting the silver bull market thesis.
Sometimes, it pays off to keep things simple. How much more research do we need to bring the point home – this post on $SILVER says it all:
Latest Silver Institute estimate: a deficit of 282 million ounces for 2024, the sixth consecutive year of deficits, and the largest since the blowout figure in 2020.
Note how the shortage is increasingly driven by industrial uses (especially in the past four years) – sectors… pic.twitter.com/RujVhsmnH8
— HK Nik (@hk_nik) November 14, 2024
Here is the CEO of Dolly Varden, a respected silver miner, backed respected investors including Sprott, coming out and talk about a potential silver supply squeeze brewing.
The shortage did not resolve in 2024. In fact, there is an increasing number of signs that the shortage is only intensifying. Sooner rather than later, silver’s physical market shortage should be reflected in the price of silver.
9. Silver price chart: the most powerful reversal in history?
Are you ready for a bold statement? There you go: Silver Long Term Chart Is The Most Powerful Bullish Reversal In History.
With the risk of repeating ourselves to the point of losing our readers’ focus, we show once again the long term silver price chart.
Below is the secular silver chart, without annotations:
- This chart setup is extraordinary.
- We cannot emphasize enough how powerful this structure is.
- Powerful equals upside potential.
As seen on below chart, a giant cup and handle formation is unfolding on the silver chart. That’s why we conclude that silver qualifies as THE investment opportunity of this decade.
December 11th – The longest term silver price chart has this unusually long (hence strong) cup and handle reversal pattern. It suggests that silver will ultimately move to ATH. Ultimately, it will exceed ATH, investors have to be patient though.
10. A global silver bull market is already here
While many investors are waiting for a silver bull market to take off, we are on record stating that the global silver bull market is already here!
We explained our viewpoint here – Silver Reaches All-Time Highs in Most Global Currencies.
There is some sort of optical illusion when looking at the silver market through the lens of silver priced in USD.
What investors will miss is that silver priced in several global currencies has set fresh new ATH in 2024.
Case in point – silver made new ATH when priced in Australian Dollars, Indian Rupee, Russian Ruble, South African Rand. One illustration is shown below. Silver priced in GPB, EUR, CAD trades right below ATH.
The silver market looks very different when looked at it in global currencies (non USD).
December 11th – Silver priced in AUD is hitting new ATH. While the investor community is focused on silver priced in USD, currently almost 40% below its ATH, silver priced in other global currencies is already hitting ATH in 2024. Silver is strong, very strong, in most global currencies except when priced in the USD.
11. Silver price forecast: overview & conclusion
Silver charts combined with silver price leading indicators confirm a strongly bullish silver story.
A mildly to wildly silver bull market can be expected in the period 2025 through 2030.
The overview of our silver price prediction research:
- Secular silver price charts – the most powerful bullish reversal ever.
- Gold bull market – silver needs a secular bull market in gold which seems here to say.
- Silver prices in global currencies – the silver bull market is already here, not yet in silver priced in USD.
- Fundamental silver price driver – inflation expectations trending in a long term rising channel.
- Silver price leading indicator in the currency market – the EURUSD is flat to bullish, supporting gold & silver.
- Silver futures market – concentration of the largest traders short is the biggest enemy for the price of silver, current readings allow for much more upside potential in the price of silver.
All leading indicators, chart patterns and market dynamics are in favor of silver. We conclude that the price of silver will continue to mildly rise, combined with one or a few wildly bullish periods.
