The price has been trading below the $30 level over the last four decades. It is seen that when the price touches the $30, it is unable to go above it and reverses lower. However, the price of silver closed above the $30 level for the first time in history in 2025. This means that the cup and handle pattern has been broken and silver has opened the door for much higher levels.
The chart shows that the price rally from the 1993 low towards the $30 is a 747% move. If this move is measured from the breakout of the $30 level then the price may reach towards the $250 to $300 level within the next few quarters. The current momentum in the silver market also shows the same as the price is showing exponential growth.
Risks & What Could Slow the Rally
The silver market may be exposed to several risks that may restrain its exponential growth. A sharp rebound in the U.S. Dollar Index from the long-term support at 96 could cap further upside. The index must break below 96 to continue its downward trend. Moreover, if financial conditions tighten unexpectedly, the parabolic move in silver may pause.
Additionally, the price is in the overbought area which implies that a short-term correction could form. Any failure to hold $30 could test the long-term bullish nature of silver.
Another major risk is the changing macro uncertainty. If the labor market stabilizes or the Federal Reserve hesitates to cut rates as anticipated, the tailwind of monetary policy for silver may be diminished. However, these risks are part of the bigger picture and do not negate the long-term breakout. Investors should expect volatility, but as long as structural demand and macro catalysts remain, then any dips may be buying opportunity rather than the end of the trend.
Final Thoughts – Why Silver’s Bull Market Is Just Beginning
In my opinion, the silver rally is just beginning and there is more room to surge higher. The breakout above the $30 level represents a generational change in the technical structure of silver with the support of macro and structural forces. The combination of sticky inflation, weakening economic data and a more accommodative Federal Reserve backdrop has pushed investors to hard assets. On the other hand, silver plays a dual role as a monetary and industrial metal and is emerging as a top beneficiary.
The consumer sentiment and physical delivery on COMEX points to increasing demand against constrained supply. The cup and handle breakout is much higher and the current bullish momentum proves the move is gaining strength. The breakout from the $30 in 2025 has opened the door for a price surge to $250-$300 in next few quarters. However, the price must hold above $30 to remain in bullish trend.
