Gold has topped $3,500… and silver is finally moving along for the ride.
The metal topped $40 on Friday, its highest close since 2011.
That’s 14 years of sideways trading.
Even though silver has strong industrial demand on top of a historical use case as money. And on August 28, silver was listed among the Trump administration’s classification as a “critical metal” for the US economy.
We’re writing about silver today for a different reason.
One key technical chart suggests that the breakout is the start of what could be a multi-year rally, because it’s a chart 40 years in the making:
Silver isn’t just at an 11-year high, it’s showing a technical pattern that suggests a further break higher

We generally use technical indicators to determine short-term momentum in specific stocks are sectors. Today’s silver breakout reveals a longer term trend.
Silver first reached a peak of $50 per ounce in 1980. Then, it languished and hit $48 in 2011 during the last peak.
After adjusting for inflation, silver still needs to soar closer to $200 per ounce to make all-time highs.
With a cup-and-handle breakout now in the cards, it’s possible that in the next few years, the metal could do just that. In the shorter term? It could jump to $50 per ounce.
