Imagine walking into a gold dealer’s shop. You see gold trading at $2,000 per ounce on the news, but when you ask to buy, the dealer quotes $2,040. When you ask what they’d pay if you were selling, they say $1,960. That $80 difference?

Silver Price Prediction: The Cup and Handle Pattern Pointing to Triple Digits

Silver could be on the verge of a breakout. In the latest episode of The Gold & Silver Show, Mike Maloney and Alan Hibbard explore a rare technical pattern flashing across multiple timeframes. The setup? A multi-year “cup and handle” formation already breaking out on 6-month, quarterly, and annual charts.
