Silver Squeeze
If COMEX can’t hand over the silver and settles in cash, watch gold rocket. Safe-haven blood rushes to the only metal that still looks “real.” (more…)
Silver Breaks $100
Folks, if you’re into precious metals like I am out here panning for gold in the Arizona dirt, yesterday—January 23, 2026—was one for the history books. For the first time ever, the spot price of silver smashed through the $100 per ounce barrier, hitting an intraday high around $103 before pulling back slightly. As of this morning (January 24), it’s holding firm near $101, still in triple-digit territory after massive gains. (more…)
What a ride for gold today! On January 22, 2026, COMEX gold futures surged 1.59% to settle at $4,908.80 per ounce, smashing fresh all-time highs with intraday peaks pushing toward $4,930 in after-hours.
Gold’s Big Day
Spot gold flirted with $4,917–$4,962 across feeds, putting the magical $5,000 mark tantalizingly close—anywhere from $40–$90 away depending on the exact quote. (more…)
Silver Market Outlook 2026
(“HODL” is an investment slang term that stands for “Hold On for Dear Life.” It describes the strategy of refusing to sell an asset regardless of how high—or low—the price goes. While popular online, it is often the quickest way to watch a fortune evaporate.)
We’ve watched silver and gold go on an absolute tear over the last year. In 2025, silver didn’t just move—it exploded, finishing the year up over 140%. Now, in early 2026, with prices hovering in the $75–$95 range, the “True Believers” are coming out of the woodwork. They’re dreaming of $150 or $200 silver and vowing to never sell. (more…)
Silver’s Meteoric 2026 Rally
Silver stackers, hold onto your hats—the white metal is soaring. As of January 20, 2026, spot silver sits in the mid-$94 range, with intraday spikes pushing gains over 5% in recent sessions. From sub-$30 levels a year ago, that’s a staggering 200%+ rise. Fundamentals like supply shortages and green energy demand are real, but let’s talk about what’s really propelling this rocket. (more…)
Silver has been on an absolute tear. As of January 19, 2026, spot silver sits around $93–94 per ounce, up over 200% from lows just a few years ago and smashing through the old nominal highs from 1980 and 2011.
Silver’s Epic Run
Social media is buzzing—$100 feels inevitable, $200 is the new target for some, and a few bold voices are even calling for $500. It’s exciting, and the fundamentals (industrial demand, supply deficits, safe-haven buying) give bulls plenty of ammo. (more…)
Gold-to-Silver Ratio 2026
For centuries, seasoned investors haven’t just looked at the price of gold or silver; they’ve looked at the Gold-to-Silver Ratio (GSR). This simple number—how many ounces of silver it takes to buy a single ounce of gold—is one of the oldest continuously tracked exchange rates in human history.
But as we start 2026, the ratio is doing something we haven’t seen in over a decade. After years of silver being “cheap” compared to gold, the script has flipped. If you’ve been holding silver, you might be sitting on a once-in-a-generation opportunity to trade up into gold. (more…)
For 2026, the primary rebalancing window for the major commodity indices (the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) and the S&P GSCI) is scheduled from January 8th to January 14th/15th.
2026 precious metals selloff?
For investors in precious metals like gold and silver, recent news might be a cause for concern. Reports suggest that major commodity indexes are due for their periodic rebalancing, and this could trigger a significant sell-off in the metals sector. But why is this happening, and what does it mean for your investments? (more…)
Gold and Silver Price Drop?
The dawn of 2026 has brought a massive geopolitical shock: Operation Absolute Resolve.
While the world spent 2025 obsessing over AI darlings like Nvidia and Apple, a much older asset was quietly staging a historic coup. Silver didn’t just participate in the 2025 bull market—it dominated it, crushing the S&P 500’s returns by nearly eightfold.
Silver vs. S&P 500: The 2025 Showdown
But for many investors, the year ended with a bittersweet lesson in timing. On December 29th, silver hit a breathtaking intraday high of $84.03, only to see those gains evaporate into a $72 close by New Year’s Eve. In a year where even a humble CD returned a steady 4.5%, the silver roller coaster proved that while the ‘poor man’s gold’ can outrun Wall Street’s tech giants, it only pays off if you know exactly when to step off the ride.
Here is the breakdown of how silver performed in 2025 compared to a CD, the S&P 500, and major tech stocks. (more…)
Why “Buy and Hold” is a Precious Metals Trap
In 1961, Rod Serling aired an episode of The Twilight Zone that should be mandatory viewing for every precious metals investor. In “The Rip Van Winkle Caper” (Season 2, Episode 24), four cunning thieves pull off a million-dollar gold heist. Their master plan? To use suspended animation to “sleep” for 100 years, waking up when the heat is off and their fortune has surely grown. (more…)
In 2025, the COMEX silver market faced what many analysts called a “physical vault drain emergency.” While total annual delivery figures are typically finalized in late January, the data from the final quarter of 2025 shows a massive surge in physical demand that nearly broke the exchange’s delivery mechanism.
The most critical delivery data from the end of 2025 includes: (more…)
Silver’s “Moon Shot”: Why the White Metal is Mowing Down Gold, the S&P 500, and even Nvidia! Silver price forecast – Silver vs Nvidia.
If you thought the AI revolution was the only way to see triple-digit gains this year, look again. While the world was watching silicon chips, silver was quietly—then very loudly—becoming the best-performing asset on the planet.
As of late December 2025, we aren’t just looking at a “rally.” We are looking at a historic revaluation. (more…)
As of December 5, 2025, the spot price of gold has significantly outperformed the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, while standard CD interest rates have seen a downward trend.

The last year has offered a dramatic head-to-head spectacle between the financial world’s most polarizing assets: Bitcoin and Gold. On one side, the 5,000-year-old safe haven asset, gold, has quietly delivered a robust, low-volatility return for investors seeking refuge from global uncertainty. On the other, Bitcoin, often championed as “digital gold,” has once again proven its extreme risk profile, riding a massive wave of gains to a new high only to suffer one of its sharpest, most painful monthly corrections ever. While the headlines focus on the recent crypto crash, a look at the full 12-month scorecard reveals a fascinating contrast between high-octane growth and reliable preservation of wealth.
When comparing the performance of Bitcoin (BTC) and Gold (XAU) over the last year, you see a classic illustration of a high-risk, high-reward asset versus a traditional safe-haven asset.
Here is a comparison of their performance and characteristics over the last 12 months (approximately November 2024 to November 2025):
The spot price of gold has experienced significant volatility in the past few weeks, moving sharply away from its recent multi-year or even all-time high. This movement is being widely viewed by analysts not as a bubble bursting, but as a necessary and overdue corrective phase following an explosive rally.
Here is a summary of the Gold futures high and low prices and the dates, along with the current price:
The one-day drop in the price of gold (via futures) was very large. Given that, I’ll walk through what likely drove the drop, where the risks lie going forward, and what the potential upside/scenarios could be. Note: this is not investment advice — just my take on how the pieces fit together. (more…)
Here’s a breakdown of how I see the recent drop in gold prices — whether it looks like a pullback, a rout, or a buying opportunity — along with what the market consensus appears to be.
Gold recently peaked above US $4,300/oz before dropping ~2 % (or more) in a short span, after hitting a record high.
The drop is attributed to a combination of:
A firmer U.S. dollar (makes gold more expensive in other currencies)
Some easing in safe-haven demand (for instance, comments from U.S. leadership around trade with China)
The fact that gold is now “overbought” in many analysts’ views, suggesting a technical correction might be underway.
