XAG/USD Description, Probabilities & Price Prediction:

Silver is the erratic, highly volatile younger sibling to Gold. Because the Silver market is significantly smaller and less liquid, it acts as a leveraged beta play. If Gold moves 1%, Silver often moves 2.5%. Currently, it is catching a massive bid due to the overarching fear of currency collapse and inflation.

However, you must respect the dual nature of the “Devil’s Metal.” Roughly 50% of Silver’s demand is industrial. Therefore, if the high price of crude oil pushes the global economy into a severe manufacturing recession, Silver’s industrial demand will plummet, capping its upside compared to Gold. The technical chart shows Silver breaking out, but struggling with thick overhead supply around the 58.00 level. Retail traders love to try and short-squeeze this asset, providing excellent momentum bursts.

Probabilities: 65% upside catch-up with Gold as the monetary premium overrides industrial fears. 35% risk of severe underperformance due to industrial demand destruction. Price Prediction: Silver will continue to blindly tail Gold upward. We forecast it will breach the near-term supply and likely target the 60.50 structural top before encountering heavy, institutional profit-taking.
