Why Silver’s 32% YTD Rise Might Just Be the Beginning

Brandon Sauerwein, Editor

Something significant is happening in the silver market. At $38 an ounce, silver just hit its highest level since 2011 — and the conditions driving this 32% year-to-date rally look different from past spikes.

Here’s what’s creating this perfect storm: Physical silver is becoming harder to source (borrowing costs have surged above 6%, a red flag for supply stress), while new tariff headwinds are hitting major producers. Add rising investment demand to this mix, and you have silver knocking on the door of critical breakout territory.

The big question: Are we witnessing the early stages of a historic move higher? 

In Case You Missed It: Mike’s Latest Silver Forecasts

Short Term Silver Price Target: $48/oz

Back in April, Mike Maloney identified a massive cup-and-handle formation in silver — a classic pattern that often precedes powerful breakouts.

Fast forward to this week: that breakout is now underway. His latest update shows: 

• We’ve cleared the old resistance with “minimal selling pressure”
• The path to $48 is now open
• When $50 breaks, we enter “clear air” with no overhead resistance 

This setup has taken 14 years to develop — and Mike believes it’s now unlocking the next leg higher. 

🚀 Long-Term Outlook: Silver’s Parabolic Potential

Mike zooms out to reveal the full picture — and what he sees is potentially historic. The same “cup and handle” pattern is showing across multiple timeframes, a rare alignment that’s echoed past silver bull markets.

If the pattern plays out, we could be looking at price targets of $300, $400, even $500+.

Mike breaks it all down using inflation-adjusted charts, technical history, and investor psychology. If you hold silver, or are considering it, this is a must-watch.
