📉 Major Silver Crashes – Explained ✍🏾
1️⃣ 1980 Crash – The Hunt Brothers Bubble
- Silver spiked to ~$50/oz
- Then collapsed to ~$5/oz
- ~90% fall
- Reason: U.S. government intervened, COMEX changed trading rules, speculative bubble burst.
2️⃣ 2011 – Post-Gold Rally Crash
- Went from ~$48/oz (2011 peak)
- Down to ~$12/oz (2015–2016
- ~75% fall
- Reason: Fed rate hikes, tapering, money moved back to equities, strong dollar.
3️⃣ 2020 Pandemic Spike → Pullback
- Jumped to ~$30/oz
- Fell back to ~$18/oz
- ~40% fall
- Reason: Panic demand faded, industrial slowdown.
🧭 Why Silver Falls So Deep?
Because silver is:
- Highly speculative
- Industrial demand dependent
- A small market → easy for large funds to move price
- Often driven by cycles
Silver historically has massive upside spikes, but every spike has been followed by 40–90% crashes. The current vertical move looks similar to past bubbles, worth watching with caution.
Kindly note that I am invested in silver (small bit), idea of this post is not to create PANIC. It is to help the new investors see the full picture than just the rally. Every asset in the world correct when a parabolic move happens
