The Silver Setup: From Shortages, to All Time Highs, to a Full Revaluation

What's Driving Silver's Revaluation? A Look at Supply, Demand, and Technical Patterns

Silver has nearly doubled in 2025, breaking through its 1980 nominal high of $50 and continuing to push higher. But according to SD Bullion market analyst James Anderson, this is just the beginning of a major revaluation.

In this comprehensive market analysis, we explore the fundamental drivers behind silver's breakout: massive market deficits exceeding 500 million ounces annually, record ETF inflows, and surging global demand from India and industrial users. Technical charts reveal a textbook cup-and-handle formation, while the gold/silver ratio signals significant room for silver to outperform.

With expert forecasts pointing to $100+ silver in 2026 and long-term projections reaching even higher, we examine why this bull market has stronger fundamentals than previous cycles.
