How you knew gold and silver would fall a long way
​
Precious metals had a wild ride in 2025 before the peak in January 2026. Silver out paced gold and rose by nearly four times in just eight months. People will point to the huge gain as the obvious reason for a big fall, but that didn't stop them from buying, either before or after the peak. 

On January 2026 something happened. Using the silver ETF SLV, we see, silver jumped 14.84% intraday. This is a very large gain, but it shrunk to a closing gain of 5.84%. Volume was extraordinarily high in the session. This has all the characteristics of a climax run often seen, historically, in markets and stocks that staged an extraordinary advance. It's a sell signal. 













The bullish optimism hung in until three days later when SLV lost a gain in another session with a wide intraday range in higher volume. It shows money is leaving the market. The next day silver was clobbered plunging over 28%.

Power persists in the markets. With the extent of downside power that materialized in just a week, it projects into a deep long bear market.
