Silver Breakout Continues, Becomes Bitcoin's 'Mirror Image' in Relentless Hike

Silver, the commodity metal that has awakened from a five‑decade slumber, has breached $58 for the first time and is once again making headlines. Analysts say the rally may have room to continue, as demand is poised to grow while supply remains constrained.

Silver Reaches Another Milestone as Gigantic Cup-and-Handle Breakout Continues

Silver, an often overlooked metal commodity, reached yet another milestone in November, breaking a price record set recently.

Gold’s sibling breached the $58 mark on Sunday night, taking a step closer to reaching $60 in its relentless rise, as Japan’s yields rose to levels close to those registered during the 2008 global financial crisis.

While many have linked these two events, relating silver’s resurgence as a hedge to the crumbling Japanese debt system, the silver breakout has been years in the making, with bulls declaring that the market had been manipulated and suppressed by the powers that be until now.

Analysts claim that several elements are contributing to silver’s bull moment, including dwindling inventories in main warehouses around the world, and the relatively small size of the market, which reaches a tenth of gold’s numbers.

Silver’s supply is unlikely to increase in the short term, a phenomenon explained by silver market analyst Peter Krauth, who declared that mining supply could even reach negative numbers.

Gold bug Peter Schiff established a relationship between silver’s rise and bitcoin’s price drop, explaining that the latter was the former’s “mirror image.”

“During the month of November while silver surged 16.5%, bitcoin tanked 17.5%. But silver is up 95% so far in 2025, while bitcoin is only down 4%,” he stressed on Friday, concluding that “since silver will likely go much higher, that means its mirror image will likely crash.”

As Schiff predicted, at the same time that silver rose, bitcoin fell under $88K, showing a correlation with risk assets, with traders losing close to $200 million in long positions.
