It took silver 45 years and 9 months to eclipse the 1980 high of $50.36 per ounce. I concluded a June 4, 2026, Barchart article that asked if silver was preparing for a big move with the following:
Silver’s high historical volatility creates trading opportunities. Buying price weakness with a clear risk-reward plan, and taking profits on rallies, is likely optimal in the current environment. While investing in silver since 2020 has created substantial profits, trading over the coming months could yield significant returns.
