The pain may be nowhere near over for silver<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The precious metal is starting to stabilize after weathering a historic plunge<\/a> last week, but, after a decline of that magnitude, history says that silver likely won’t find a bottom anytime soon. It could take years for the metal to claw its way back to record highs, according to an analysis from Ned Davis Research.<\/p>\n

In a note to clients on Monday, the research firm pointed to silver’s swift drop on Friday, with the metal plummeting as much as 36% as traders unwound speculative bets that propelled a huge rally over the last year. <\/p>\n

There have been only four other instances over the last 58 years in which silver plunged by more than 20% from an all-time high, NDR said. In all cases, such a correction led to more downside<\/a>, with silver prices trending lower for at least the next 12 months, according to Matt Bauer, a commodity strategist at the firm.<\/p>\n

In every instance silver prices dropped more than 20% from an ATH, the metal trended lower for at least the next 12 months, according to NDR’s analysis.<\/p>\n

On average, silver prices<\/a> took around seven years to find a bottom in the aftermath of a big correction, with the average peak-to-trough decline clocking in at 65%, Bauer said. The metal also took around 14 years on average to climb back to a new all-time high.<\/p>\n

Those statistics are “heavily skewed” by silver’s historic 1980 drop, when the metal fell 93% in the 13 years following its peak, Bauer said. Still, he added that he believes silver’s decline last week showed the most similarities to the 1980 drop among historical corrections.<\/p>\n

“If the current episode follows the general pattern of past cycles, silver may take years to bottom and years after that to climb to a new ATH,” Bauer wrote.<\/p>\n

Silver has drawn more speculation from investors<\/a> in the last year as it rallied hard and quickly became one of the market’s best-performing investments. Its price more than doubled in 2025 and is still up 24% year-to-date, even after last week’s decline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The pain may be nowhere near over for silver.
