Silver dropped almost 50% from June 1968 to November 1971, and then rallied ~420% into February 1974.
Silver then dropped ~43% into 1976 and then rallied ~1150% by January 1980.
Silver dropped 60% from March to October 2008 and then rallied ~490%.
Gold dropped almost 30% in late-1973 and then rallied almost 100%...and then dropped ~25% and then rallied another 45% all by January 1975.
Gold dropped 50% in 1975 and 1976 and then rallied ~770% by Jan 1980.
Gold dropped ~26% in 2006 and then rallied 90%.
Gold dropped ~35% in 2008 and then rallied 180%.
This sell-off since January 2026 is now the third largest silver has ever had within the context of a bull market, and for gold it's the the fourth largest...almost on par with the 1973 correction and nearly on par with the Great Financial Crisis. In terms of time from top to bottom, this is more akin to the 1973 correction (about 20 weeks) or 2006 (about 20 weeks).
All of these drops led to enormous V-bottom rallies, some so rapid that if they repeated today it would mean $8000+ gold by October.

Don't get discouraged with your #MINERS. While Silver did a +1.30% yesterday, many Silver miners were down with -10% or more. We must now be at the #Capitulation or the #Desperation Level. I wonder what will happen next with our Miners. Stay seated.
🇯🇵 By 2040, 40% of senior citizens in Japan will live alone.
Japan already has the world's oldest population.
Already has the most centenarians.
Already has a word for dying alone and not being found: "kodokushi."
Now it faces a future where nearly half its elderly population lives in complete solitude.
The loneliness crisis isn't coming. In Japan, it's already here.
Silver miners ( $SIL): watch for the final shakeout
The market has paused at support. Silver is holding above 67, and the miners and their ETFs, with SIL as the key reference, are also pinned right at support, sitting just above the 100% retracement level at 80 and the top of the rising weekly kumo.
So far, the reading is one of pause. But when I look at the Elliott Wave structure, I see something else becoming increasingly likely: one final shakeout. A break of those support levels, with significant downside, could take price toward the lower retracement band around 65 before the advance resumes.
The key is the nature of that move. I do not read it as a cycle change, but as a final washout: violent, but likely short-lived. Exactly the kind of pattern we saw in 2020, when miners collapsed in a matter of weeks and then reversed higher so fast that almost everyone was left behind.
The PMO supports that idea: it has turned lower from elevated levels and is still not showing signs of a bottom. That is the type of momentum that often comes before the shakeout, not the recovery.
My view: if the breakdown comes, do not confuse it with the end of the trend. The bear trap that scares weak hands is often the final act of the correction, not the first act of a bear market. Those who understand it can take advantage of it.
Trends build wealth. Judgment protects it.

1972 - Silver rose 3,368% in 96 months.
2003 - Silver rose 1,041% in 96 months.
Compared to the start of this #Silver Bull in 2024, by 1932 this would mean that Silver is trading at $270 versus 2003 and $818 versus 1972. In my opinion, Silver will beat 2003 with ease.
But what I want to emphasize is that Silver rode the 200MA during these Bull runs. Only during the 2008 financial crash did Silver go 50% below the 200MA, but it recovered quickly and before the stock markets could recover. After that, Silver rose nearly 500%.
Silver is now trading around the 200MA again. With Silver in a Bull run, this is an attractive add zone regardless of what happens in the short term.
Silver has been trapped in a box for 50 years. 🪙
Gold broke out.
Copper broke out.
Silver didn't.
Money supply expanded 20 to 25 times since the 1970s.
Silver never caught up.
Not even close.
Last October was the first crack in the ceiling.
Once it clears this zone…
Michael Oliver sees $300 to $500.
Not gradually.

Reasonable! I was born in 1960s in China when famine spread thanks to the disutopiac communist disaster. I had been eaten sweet potatoes for at 10 months a year (sometimes sweet potatoes only for the whole day) until i got to my teen years when there was somewhat relaxation of the commie iron hand. All my childhood memories come with acid reflux, bloated tummy and skinny and bony shape, everyone! I hate sweet potatoes and never ate it again until recently - yet, only pieces of it because it causes acid reflux (at least) if more than one small potato consumed!
#Trump opened Pandora’s box, and now every force in the region will study and adapt the Iranian playbook:
“Mess with us, and we’ll bring the world down with us.”
It will take time, but this is exactly the kind of geopolitical shock that pushes the Western world to reduce its dependency on #Oil and accelerate the move toward alternatives.
Less oil dependency = more electrification.
More electrification = more solar, EVs, charging infrastructure, grid expansion and electronics.
All of those are #silver demand drivers, with solar still being the biggest one.
Got #Silver?
