Gold-Silver Ratio Hits 100:1 – A Historic Buying Signal for Silver 
The silver breakout of 2025 is here — silver has officially smashed past $36 for the first time in over a decade, marking a major turning point for the precious metals market. While gold slipped, silver soared, gaining 3.5% in a single day and closing at $35.67 on the continuous contract.
According to precious metals expert Mike Maloney, this breakout isn’t just big — it could be the start of a historic bull run.
A Decade-Long Ceiling Shattered
In his latest video, Maloney explains how silver’s breakout smashed through key resistance levels set in 2012 — and even brushed against highs from the 2011 bull market. This is a critical shift for technical traders.
“This could trigger a slingshot move to the low $40s and beyond,” says Maloney.
And this isn’t just another technical setup. The breakout completes a 45-year cup-and-handle pattern — a formation that began back in 1980. If the pattern plays out as expected, it could launch silver into a powerful upward trajectory.
Big Investors Are Paying Attention
It’s not just chart-watchers taking notice. Billionaire investor David Baitman recently poured nearly $1 billion into precious metals, including 12.69 million ounces of silver — about 1.5% of annual global supply.
His reason? Baitman sees the global monetary system on the brink of collapse, citing:
- A $28 trillion U.S. debt wall maturing in the next 4 years
- Ongoing money printing
- Escalating economic fragility
“Gold and silver are the only meaningful life raft,” he warns.
The Gold-Silver Ratio: A Signal of Undervaluation
The current gold-to-silver ratio stands at 94:1, meaning it takes 94 ounces of silver to match the value of 1 ounce of gold. Historically, this is way out of line:
- In nature (earth’s crust): 19:1
- In annual mining: 7:1
- In above-ground stockpiles: 3:1
If silver were to return to just a 3:1 stockpile ratio, and gold prices held steady, silver would need to hit $1,000 an ounce. While that’s an extreme scenario, it underscores how undervalued silver may be.
Supply vs. Demand: A Market in Deficit
Since 2016, silver has seen consistent annual supply deficits. In fact, 2025 is forecasted to be short by 187 million ounces—and many experts believe even that number is understated.
These deficits aren’t theoretical. They’re the result of growing industrial demand (especially in solar and electronics) coupled with shrinking mine output and limited above-ground inventory.
What’s Next for Silver?
Maloney believes the stage is set for something much bigger. With resistance levels shattered, a long-term bullish pattern completing, and both retail and institutional demand rising, the silver market could be entering a new phase of acceleration.
“This is not a drill,” Maloney says. “Your grandkids may one day marvel — or regret — the financial decisions made right now.”
The silver breakout of 2025 — with prices pushing past $36 — could be a major turning point, not just for technical traders but for anyone concerned about currency devaluation, mounting debt, or market volatility. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just getting started, now may be the time to pay close attention.
