I have heard a lot of different opinions from a lot of different people on the state of silver, some saying it's a good investment and others saying it will crash, I want to hear the community's thoughts on where silver is going to go

Even though you’re not the first to raise the topic here, this is the forum for discussions about precious metal prices: https://forums.collectors.com/categories/precious-metals

Silver seems to be in a steady trajectory up. As far as how far it’s going to go / would say unknown. Many been stacking slabbed bullion coins. Some bought lately their BV up over what I paid for them (or very close to CPG) when received. So considering the rate they going up - very bullish on silver.
I am going to do some more research on just how far up silver can go. Areas would be supply, basis of demand, political factors (will war break out somewhere), and economic outlook. Perhaps some CEO’s in that area may have published something.
I have no idea whether gold/silver will go up or go down. Either way, such a huge increase in such short order isn't good and there will be some folks that will be losing alot of money. Be careful out there- just my 2 cents.....
Seems both gold and silver dropped quite a bit today...

- Someone, probably
back to 45, fast
Silver is still worthwhile holding. Ups and downs are to be expected. The recent runup was a lot of fun to watch. No doubt it will happen again. Everything cycles. Oh, and nobody can predict the future, not even me 😄
Maybe on paper but I would be pleasantly surprised if physical prices dropped that low fast.
I believe he did post in the Precious Metals Forum.
probably mod-moved
Good point.
If that happens I’ll be the first one to
fist bump you and blitz. I just don’t see it.
COPPER is gutter !
Honestly, if the paper price goes back to 45, China, India, and any additional industrial users will almost certainly buy out the entire inventory available. I think 145 is ten times more likely than 45.

Not to mention the fact that the refineries will catch up and no more supply will be coming in.
I knew it would happen.
i'm not looking for fist bumps. just making calls like you're making calls
word
IF silver goes back to 45 I'll be backing up the truck.
COPPER is gutter !
Has to be MENTIONED. Even with Friday included, silver still gained in January for the 9th straight month. That is unprecedented.
COPPER is gutter !
down 4% right now - 7 mins into evening
down 7.44%
ugly
We've seen this pattern before but in this case the huge backlogs on processing the metals by the refineries means that the actual physical buyers and demand cannot be established. So the electronic transactions are going to follow a downward pattern until either major support from "whales" occurs with the bears and shorts covering or sufficient tangible signals create solid support.
The 2 big support lines are at 75 and then around 50. If it doesn't hold 75, we probably test 50. So far, Asia is not rebounding. We'll see what Shanghai does shortly.
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
only down 1% now
asia in 49 min
POOF
COPPER is gutter !
Stock futures have also recovered nicely, Nasdaq improved by 200+ (but still slightly negative)
A lot of the recent rally was because of leveraged futures and short-term trades. Once price started slipping: stop losses hit, margin calls kicked in and then forced selling accelerated the fall. Supply has not changed, demand from industrial buyers has not changed. Speculative buyers have freaked but will come to their senses once they realize the fundamentals have not changed. Buy the dip, but wait for $78.
Velocity, Not Valuation Defines A Bubble.
Shanghai at $100.50.
Kitco at $85.79, up 64 cents.
up 3/4%
asia opens soon
A few quotes:
“You wouldn’t cancel your insurance policy in the middle of a hurricane, and you shouldn’t sell silver when it takes a tumble. Like any insurance, silver’s value will pay out over time, not day by day.”
"The 'chase' in silver is now more intense than the classic AI trade" (as of Jan 2026): According to a CNBC report, retail investors have been buying record amounts of silver, leading analysts to describe the intense buying pressure as a "chase".
"Gold is talking, silver is screaming - A Case for Prudent Repositioning": A WhiteOak Capital report notes that when silver "screams" (outperforming gold with high velocity), it signals the final, speculative stage of a run, which often ends in a crash for late investors, essentially forcing them out of their positions.
"When the world rushes to silver for protection, supply disappears": This highlights that the "chase" often leads to a shortage as investors rush to secure the metal.
compared to friday, volume is quite good withe friday being heavy
